19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

Great effort by him tonight except wasting two clear chances.

Liek any other striker he needs playing time, even Haaland struggled for a few games missing very clear chances. In the meantime, i think both he and Foden should be key players for the team, their effort on and off the ball is great.

I expected better from the 7th best player on the planet to be honest

Not his best showing but still made a nuisance of himself and contributed superbly to putting the ball in the net.

He'll always struggle to display his best,just like Jesus,while he is in and out of the team.

So if he had been voted 20th best you would be less disappointed? Come on, don't take these awards so seriously.

Apologies - it was my attempt at sarcasm !! I take absolutely zero notice of any individual football awards.

I think he has been good for us this season… actually did think he wasn’t that good last night. That miss after about 20/25 mins wasn’t pretty.

Dont think he made much space for himself last night, i like him and thor together

Been saying for ages now, to pair him and Haaland, and a poster told me it would be a 'liability'!

Some people have set players they think still perform miracles for the team and some of us see what new energy brings. JA is the latter and a snapshot (when not having an unlucky day) and positioning like the GOAT Sergio Aguero, which we need as Haaland gets marked out all the time, these days.

We need more options on the pitch.

That’s enough about your sexual fantasies. What about Saturday’s team selection? ;-)

 

[skillman]

He's tailor made for a second/deeper striker alongside a partner. While Haaland would thrive off having one too.

Need to make it work. We'd go from methodically predictable to completely bamboozling opponents I reckon.

C'mon fella, seriously, you're doing this?
