This is a beauty from Josh. lovely work from Sargent yesterday that will never show up on the scoresheet https://t.co/R38nGVRPdN— scuffed (@scuffedpod) April 8, 2021
Gotta feel for the defender, Josh had perfect position on him and there was absolutely nothing he could do once he turned his back to Josh. Nice work there. I think Josh has gained some upper body heft and strength based on what I've seen lately.
If it wasn't for Dike and his superhuman strength we'd be discussing this more. I actually look forward to seeing both of them out there at the same time if we're chasing a goal.
Can we just add that to his stats as an assist for the nancies who say he doesn't produce enough counting stats? That was more impressive than most goals. I just watched the first half, and it was probably the worst I've seen him play, kicking the ball off his feet out of bounds or to the opponent at least 3 times. Glad to see he had at least one positive moment!
I still have the same skepticism about "top" Bund striker, but that ball not going in the net was an assault on redheads everywhere. Ow. Great lay-off.
We need a xRp stat (expected remote positive influence) for when a team wins with our guy on the bench.
With 5 goals and 2 assists he's the highest-ranked American goal-scorer in the Bundesliga this season (#40), above Hoppe with 5G/0A (#44), Reyna with 3G/4A (#70), Brooks 2/0 (#117), Adams 1/1 (#145) and Timmy Chandler 1/0 (#169). Only Leon Bailey (6/6, #22) is ranked above him from all CONCACAF players in the BuLi --although, truth be told, there are not many.
Considering all the HYPE regarding Bailey, you'd think he was in double digits for goals and assists.
