To me he looks the real deal but gets stuck too late into games where the shape and intensity has gone leaving him less chance to have an impact.

I thought that the club talked about that specific issue when he arrived? He's not had a break, so they were aware that they didn't want to push him too hard.

Still, I agree that he's behind others to start, and with the postponements we've not yet had to rotate - the two starts he's had (at Forest and in the Barca friendly) were the only weeks where we've had three games.

That's all going to change now, as it's 11 games in 39 days, so I expect we'll see much more of him.

Hope he gets to start at least one of the next three matches. Spoilt for choice at the moment with our front three right now though!

Keep him on his toes, like some have said, he didn’t have a break after his season in Argentina finished. He will have a big part to play in the second half of the season.

Give the big fella a rest against FC Copenhagen , great game for Alvarez to start.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Wouldn’t be surprising though, he’s mustard

Whenever anyone uses that word I think of Brick Top.

 

[Cambijao]

Needs to be playing,otherwise we will have another wonderful talent not quite reaching his potential....ala Jesus.

I may sound harsh, but Jesus was absolute dogshite up-front.

There's a reason why Pep prefered a false 9 last season.
