19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[vincent]

I love his energy. Given his fitness levels were likely far ahead of his teammates, I am a little surprised he has seen so little action so far.

Think he may start against Forest.

Dare I say he has similarities in playing style to Gabriel Jesus

 

[mccity]

Very, very tenacious.

Finishing left a bit to be desired tonight, but at least it wasn't due to a lack of confidence that we've seen with so many other City players lately.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Hes a nightmare for defenders.

 

[supersonicblue]

Got that Tevez like tenacity about him, can imagine he’s horrible to play against. Was impressed by that pull back on De Jong, great awareness to make a tactical foul.

Looks the real deal , typical Argentinian energy and never say die spirit , he is going to be a star in a blue shirt , he is a goal poacher and a great alternative to Haaland or could even play off him , he will terrorise premier league defenders.

 

[SJT]

Yeah, to say he works hard is an understatement, Haaland better have a word with Foden to get them supplies in, or this lad will be in sooner rather than later.

442 with Haaland and him up front they will shit themselves.

 

[Keeper!]

We may well have signed someone very special in fact he could well prove the signing of the summer and seeing we bagged the Viking that could be some statement.

 

[super_city_si]

There are a lot of goals in this lad when he settles. Very impressed with him so far.

If we ever play a 2 up top he would revel in the space that Haaland would create

 

[BuzzedLityear]

His pressure makes defenders make mistakes and allows him to always be in the right place to capitalize on balls in the box that aren't properly taken care of. I'd love to see what a 442 with him and Haaland would look like.

 

[BlueMedic]

To be honest he's been very similar to Jesus for us, fantastic work rate, pretty good at everything, yet should've scored 3 with a couple of pretty easy chances wasted.
I really liked Jesus, so suspect I'll really like Alvarez.

Would be nice to get him into the team with Haaland to see what happens.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Just hope he gets played enough or he might do a Torres.

Imagine Jesus stayed and we went with a Jesus Haaland Alvarez front 3.

That would have been a pressure cooker for any defense.

With our little energizer bunny Bernardo playing AM right behind that attack line. That would be crazy, I don't think any team would handle that pressure.

Could have called 999

Jesus is playing very well currently - but he rarely/never played this well in our side over years and years.

Perhaps Jesus has upped his game at Arsenal - but more likely he's having a statistically unlikely good run of form.\

There's a good reason why we let him go.

We are talking about his pressing, he may not have played well in some games while he was here but I can't think of many games where he failed to cause problems for the team we played against.

I think its much simpler.....

He is playing for a manager who has 100% faith and confidence in him,and is playing him consistently as the team focal point.He has also given him the armband,which speaks volumes.
