Getting a Cup of Joe: Gyau in Sweden

Not BVB proper, games against BVB II.

 

Starts against Werder Bremen:

Is this their main roster or mostly reserves?

 

Starts:

And this happened:

48' Der nächste Treffer für unsere #Zebras. Eine Hereingabe von #Gyau haut #Suhail in den eigenen Kasten. #MSV #NurmitDir #ZebrasinTirol | 0:2

48 ' The next hit for our #Zebras. A cross from #Gyau hits #Suhail into your own box. #MSV #NurmitDir #ZebrasinTirol| 0:2

Sounds like an own goal, but can't confirm.

 

I am really optimistic about Joe and his season in the B2. I suspect he's gonna remind us all why we were once so high on him and perhaps even re-emerge with the NT.

 

Same here. He's an aggressive dribbler who would provide some much needed depth for our wing-play.

Some highlights from his preseason. He's looked good.

 

Is his shooting usually that weak?

 

Joe is on the bench for the 2. Bundesliga opener:

Was an unused sub in a 1-0 loss.

To some, Gyau looked like the future of the national team, so it seemed fitting that he would start alongside USMNT legend Landon Donovan in his national team farewell match. Gyau lasted 15 minutes in that match before planting his foot on the shoddy temporary grass field at Rentchler Stadium and suffering a knee injury that wound up being much more severe than he initially realized. What was originally a bone bruise led to surgery to remove loose cartilage, but complications led to major surgery that would keep him out another nine months. The ordeal continued even after his apparent recovery, as he found himself unable to get on the field at Dortmund, even with the reserves.

"The thing that got me the most about the injury was that I was so close, on the brink of breaking in," Gyau told Goal. "The season before that I was making my debut at Hoffenheim, then I went to Dortmund and broke into the first team. Then I was playing with the national team. I was making the rosters weekly for Dortmund, and then I got hurt.

 

Horrible story, but did Donovan have a "farewell match"? Or writer just doesn't know what that means?

 

Yes, he did...

My brain refused to accept that, I guess.

 

Cheap-ass US Soccer using a shoddy cheap field...ruining this guy's career path....and then leaving him out in the wilderness while he recovers on his own while playing other young unproven players like sargent who have done less than he has......

i think he should be included in this group of players that is playing in these upcoming games...if only out of doing him right....but i think he should be there anyway.

 

Heck, 2014 MLS was the Donovan Farewell Tour. Lando made a point of destroying the guys who actually went to Brazil for the lulz too.

Adam is right, those cheap "temporary grass" rolls should be banned. They're a danger for anyone who doesn't know how to move on them. Gyau was using his turbo speed that game and paid for it.

 

came on the 80th minute as Duisburg lose yet another game this time 2-0.

 

left out of the Cup game for whatever reason.

Subbed on in the 69', just after Darmsadt's first goal. Game ended 3-0 Darmsadt.

 

this team seems like relegation fodder, 3 games played and 3 losses for 0 pts, terrible start to the season.

 

Time to start Gyau.

 

Every time he starts doing well, he gets a year-long injury. So in his case I'm not sure I want him to do that well.

 

Joe didn't dress today. Very disappointing start to the season for him.

 

the team has gone 4 Games=4 Losses and 0 pts.

whether that benefits him or not, who knows.
