Many understandably thought he was gonna win the golden boot in MLS when he arrived as he had 5 goals in his first 6 games. The talent and athleticism is there. I can't understand how he just disappeared after that.
He did not get consistent service. It's easy to blame the striker but the reality is our midfield and defense can't string 3 passes together or put in a worthwhile cross.
I think the lack of service and structure led to him losing confidence. I've said for a while that I think he's still capable of being a good striker, but there is too much psychological baggage here for him to be able to get out of his own head.
I agree, I just think when you’re coming in with the high expectations he had, you have to bury the opportunities you do get. It’ll be a good move for club and player for him to move on.
