Boyd and Gomez doing well
2. It’s Antigua and Barbuda for goodness sake
3. Did anyone watch Verbeek, Jozy’s manager, this year use the carrot and stick method to get the best year out of Jozy ever?

This is not a big deal. If B & G were not doing well or if it was a better opponent, maybe Jozy starts.
As it is let the man sit and get antsy to play. It’s good for him.

Take a promising young player and show him his spot in the lineup isn’t safe. Doesn’t mean he isn’t the long term answer. Just a little motivational technique. Could be wrong, but it seems plausible. Make Jozy prove something, just like Bradley did.
