San Jose Earthquakes 2020 Post-mortem Team: Goodson

Goodson is a miracle.

When the Brazilian signed for San Jose Earthquakes before the 2019 season, I remember looking up his stats before arriving so I could write the news and be amazed at how much he played. In 2018, he played nearly 4,500 minutes with Avai, which is a truly phenomenal number considering MLS players nowhere play nearly 50 matches in all competitions per year.

Although he was not a regular in 2019 with Quakes, having played in “only” 27 matches in the club’s regular season, he was a regular in 2020, missing only the first two games of the season while recovering from injury.

Here are the Godson statistics in 2020:

I think he really found his foothold in 2020, and he’s getting more and more consistent in his game with the game. In his first season at MLS, there were times when he seemed to not be up to speed at play, but he just needed time to adjust, and was the most common engine room for earthquakes.

One of the ways Judson’s game has become more consistent is that he cut his yellow cards in 2020. In 2019, he scored 10 in 27 matches, which means he had to suspend two matches due to backlog. Last season, he had only four whistles in 21 games in the regular season, which means he was never stopped. So the team didn’t have to worry about getting a stupid reservation and then missing out on the next match.

He was clearly not a force in the attack, nor was he expected to be, but he was an elite in his defense. Godson was in the 99th percentile among midfielders in both tackles and pressures in every match, and was elite in all defensive actions except perhaps in the antenna, which is not very surprising considering he is one of the shortest players on the field at any time.

So Earthquakes got a good idea when they picked up the godson, and very quietly had a great 2020 season for them.

He is now 27 years old, so presumably he is nearing his climax as a professional, although one should give the warning that he played very heavy minutes in his career and thus his climax may have started a little sooner than many players. However, with two seasons under his belt in MLS and more comfort with the Matias Almeyda system, Judson has become an indispensable player for the club, someone who cannot be easily substituted in the squad. And while the club did the reasonable thing and gained another defensive midfielder, Eric Remedy, as a lockdown / player rotation option to keep Godson refreshed, I think we expect the Brazilian to play a heavy load of minutes again if he remains healthy and out of the suspension problem.

I think the good news is that Earthquakes’ midfield appears to be in great shape, with Goodson putting on the role of the Destroyer, Jackson Yewell in two-way duties, and Remedy in a struggle to get rid of it, meaning the club can look elsewhere to boost the team. At this point, Judson will be starting out on most MLS teams, let’s put it this way and maybe that is as good a compliment as you can give. He doesn’t perform flashy plays, but Goodson is an essential part of a team looking to do bigger things in 2021.
