19 | Julian Alvarez - 2022/23

[Love_Each_Day]

Clever player and a step up on Torres but they need to sort out his running posture. Apart from injury risk he might get faster if not hunched over so much.

 

[TFC]

2 assists and a goal. Take a bow son.

 

[shroom]

odd that many of a player's highlights are tier 1 harassment ...

He's been playing like that since he was a young lad, he could get injured just like anybody else, but he knows his body, he knows how to run, if you look at his performances at River Plate you'll notice the intensity with which he plays every game, he never stops running and when you think he can't run anymore he always surprises you with another great run.

 

[Salford in the City]

Proved what he can do when he gets a quality assist like the one from Kev tonight!

Got to be patient with this lad, as I think when he really settles in, he'll be a real asset to us.

Did Paul Dickov go on a lads holiday to Argentina around April 99?

Insulting to Alvarez ;)

This kid is leagues above that , class act, and he has that wonderful Argentinian attitude.

6 months mid season golfing holiday on the horizon?

If he's half as good as Carlos we will have a star.

 

[oldius]

Lovely performance and a great attitude.

 

[ScottSinclair]

If he's half as good as Carlos we will have a star.

Tell you what, he reminds me much more of Carlos than Sergio stylistically, but he seems to have more of Sergios easy-going attitude

 

[shemnel]

that was an awesome 2nd half he had.

 

[01cravend]

Both his assists came from him winning the ball high up the pitch. He has that quality that was my favourite of Gabbys but seems to have more calmness and incisiveness around the box. Brilliant 2nd half and hopefully a glimpse of what's to come

 

[Pep Guardiola]

Yesterday in Manchester, Sampaoli to Erik Lamela: "eight years and you dont speak english, motherfucker. You are a thief".

This in front of everyone.

Sampaoli is a master.

 

[JewelZee]

Agree with this. He’s not shown very much at all. He’s got a lot of improving to do to get anywhere near Jesus’ level.

I'll call bullshit...

 

[Complex Simplicity]

Looks a bit out of his depth currently. I do wonder if he'll be out on loan next season.

Some people talk absolute breeze.

The lad is a class act.

 

[upb78]

Yeah me too haha. Besides, why would the club want to sell GJ if he was such a great player with such great level? And GJ didn't even have Haaland as a competitor back then. Don't get me wrong, GJ is a very good player, but let's not get carried away so easily.

 

[asahartford1]

Very good last night. Centre forward for Pep is a hard gig. Little support and few early balls, ( Kev aside).
I hope he plays alongside Haaland in some home matches, especially poorer deeper teams( most are).

 

[Legal Alien]

Ran his arse off, constantly made excellent runs first half that were ignored every single time. Takes a great attitude to not get disheartened by that and carry on. Pressed constantly, forced so many turnovers, lovely bit of play for Lewis' goal, excellent tenacity for mahrez's goal and a very calm and well taken finish from a kdb silver service. Deserved that.

Once this lad settles in properly and really feels like he belongs we will have a gem. Want to see him given more chances out wide when Haaland is fit, I think he can do what jesus did for us out there, his energy, movement and pressing could be a refreshing alternative to our static wingers.

He's been making those runs in every game he's played but doesn't get the ball.
The same thing happens, to a lesser extent now, with Haaland.

I know the new players have to adapt, but i also think the older players have to adapt too and realise that we have natural finishers in the team now, so put the ball through to them and see what happens.

But anyway, well played Julian you have an exciting future.

 

[super_city_si]

Knows how to finish. Great to see him keep his calm when in a one on one. Give him those passes and he'll score. We now have 2 lethal finishers.
