19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

Haarland, Aguero, Alvarez.......it wouldn't have mattered who was up front last night because we are far too slow and predictable in our build up play that the Centre Forward usually gets no service whatsoever.

The Forward gets so isolated because unless Mahrez plays we are virtually playing with one out and out forward.

…and Mahrez is also isolated out wide .it’s a shit plan.

Criminal not to introduce him in the last 20 minutes.

Criminal not to introduce him in the last 20 minutes.

Couldn’t agree more.

At this point, I'd just prefer Pep to play him more.

Anywhere really, ideally right behind Haaland for game time, but to sub him too, or on the wings.

That work rate and ability is useful anywhere across the attacking options, even if you have to be suboptimal, he needs to develop chemistry with the team.

Very good tonight. Still pressing and winning back the ball in the last minute. Excellent replacement for Jesus.

 

[Gabriel]

Positively frightening how much energy he has. He’s been playing almost non-stop for what feels like forever now but shows no signs of slowing.

 

[Andouble]

Love the guy

 

[super_city_si]

Caused mayhem. His energy second half was infectious.

 

[abu13]

Needs to keep his place now.

 

[city warrior]

Energy + pace + quality. He deserves to play more, and maybe today's formation is the best going forward adding KDB for Gundogan. Our press looked much better.
