@sunechograeme that's good. Happy to see him playing well.

When Sunderland Echo journalist Graeme Anderson decided to slate Jozy Altidore during today’s game against Everton, he very kindly tagged the USA striker to ensure he saw his appraisal.

Altidore wasn’t playing in the game, but Anderson wanted to emphasise how ineffective he had been recently in comparison to Connor Wickham.

At half-time, he wrote: “@ConnorWickham10 has contributed more in first half than @JozyAltidore has in his last three appearances.”

In a bit of an awkward exchange, Altidore responded.

He said: “That’s good. Happy to see him playing well.”
