People pointing to Jozy's goal totals are missing the point. There was nothing particularly special about his last goal.
It was teed up perfectly and he shot it right at the keeper. It just happened to be hit hard enough to deflect off his arm and in. It could have deflected in any direction. He hits that same shot 10 times it goes in maybe half the time.
While he may or may not have an above average sense for making those shots, it doesn't excuse the rest of his shortcomings. Whatever formation we end up playing in 18, we need the strikers to help pressure the ball and move defenders around, make good diagonal runs. He isn't very good at any of that. He can't dribble the ball for more than 15 feet without great difficulty. His assets are his size, ability to physically occupy defenders, hold them off, turn and fire. While there are teams that would help the US beat, almost none of them will be in Russia in 2018.
Guys like Wondo miss from 3 yards out, guys like Wood hit the post more than he should, Dwyer disappeared for stretches in the three games he's played. Dempsey is old, and Morris is green. I don't really know what Agudelo is. They all have faults but Jozy is the least adaptable player of the group.
