19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[Tevez City]

I like the lad plenty,he is spilling over with positives.....but i'm not convinced he fits our style/needs.

If Haaland isn't available, who will replace him ?

Knowing Pep, Alvarez on the bench and Cancelo false nine or something.

World cup winner sits on bench shocker

World cup winner was bullied off the ball by Iwobi and Godfrey who did not have 1 min at the WC as soon as the WC winner stepped onto the pitch.

Welcome to the Premier League.

FFS, give the lad a start and 90 minutes. And then play him again, and again, until he settles into the team and the system and brings his River Plate and Argentina work rate and goals to the City team.

He's a talented young player, but ultimately we're never going to build the team around him when we have the best striker in the world who's a similar age. If Alvarez wants to be a permanent fixture, then he'll have to learn to play in a system designed to get the best out of Haaland. There's nothing to stop them becoming a lethal strike partnership in the future. But with that, we might lose some control over the ball in midfield, so I'm not sure Pep would go for it other than in the odd game.

if pep is not able to make use of the best talents in the club maybe he is not upto the job of being the manager of the club? surely foden and alvarez are better than grealish and mahrez
