Anyone comparing Alvarez to Mbappe needs to have their head examined. It's not even funny. There's being supportive and then there's just being plain stupid

why shouldn't we? both are upcoming next gen players who competed in a world cup. mbappe has the entire psg and french team built around him so he gets a lot of output. I am sure if pep built the team around alvarez he would have a higher output than now. besides mbappe is not some complete player like messi and has a lot of flaws in his game compared to alvarez. besides you think mbappe will be some great player in south america or england, I don't think so.
 
Mbappe gets disrespected because of the way he’s behaved at PSG (I hated it), his supposed arrogant attitude and the fact he’s French.

He is the best player on the planet for me as of now the way he can change a game, create and score goals at will, beat players, outright pace is second to none. He could play in pretty much any team in world football and put up crazy assist and goal numbers.

He’s one that will only be truly appreciated once he retires I feel.

Personally, think he's a better overall finisher than Mbappe, especially when considering variety and his weak foot.

Mbappe simply has unrivalled physicality to get him in more positions to get more chances that Alvarez will never reach (nobody in the world can tbh).

WOW, that's some serious blue tinted bullshit.

Alvarez is a wonderful talent and already a quality player but Mbappe is on another planet as a player at this moment.

no he is nowhere near the best player in the world. if he plays in a less than ideal team he will not put up the numbers. mbappe in epl will be found out easily. he is a one trick pony. KDB as a player is levels above mbappe

He played for Monaco and was the best player on the pitch against us 6 years ago at the age of 18 getting 26 goals in 40 games across all competitions including 6 in 9 in the champions league, also his record at european/world tournaments show his calibre.

People can slag other leagues off, ligue 1 is of course low on quality but likewise so are the majority of sides in the EPL outside of the top 4, I’m not having it that Mbappe wouldn’t have a field day against teams such as Bournemouth, Soton, Palace, Forest etc. and also your KDB shout who is obviously incredible and definitely up there as one of the best as of now but would he have the same numbers playing for Everton? His assist tally for a start would be nowhere near what it is now, would he also be able to roam around dictacting play without the likes of Rodri next to him, not a criticism of how great he is but it certainly helps doesn’t it.

Great players usually play for great teams (stating the obvious) which in turn means better players around them, leading to more set pieces, more assists etc. you can’t use playing for an ‘ideal’ team as a stick to beat a player with.

I’m all up for debate and willing to be proved wrong, therefore please take nothing personal and I’m not saying any of this with spite genuinely but calling Mbappe a one trick pony is silly, it’s just simply not true.

But all that side opinions are like balloon knots we all have em’ so as I say nothing personal up the Blues and happy remainder of Christmas and new year sir.

Brilliant post. The kid was 18 when he played a starring role in kicking us out of the UCL. Alvarez would go on to be a very good player...just not at the Mbapppe level and that's fine with me, he doesn't have to get to that level to be a great for us.

Mbappe is an absolute beast. Fantastic player would score and make goals wherever in the world he played. He scored a hat trick in a wcf for gods sake. He can turn on irrespective of the occasion and looks like he feels no pressure whatsoever.

The hat trick had 2 penalties!

Totally silent in the game apart from that 2nd goal. Invisible really.

That guy Kolo Muani played in half the game and had a bigger impact!
 
I don't know why folks are acting as if saying "Julian's finishing is better than Mbappe's" is some outlandish thing to say.

Have your ever seen Julian miss a clear one on one option? I haven't, and I've seen pretty much all of Julian's professional's games so far.

Nobody is saying Julian is a better player than Mbappe. That would indeed be a ridiculous thing to say given what each have accomplished so far. But just in terms of finishing? I don't think I've seen a forward with a better ratio than Julian. Give him a one on one and it's pretty much a guaranteed goal.
 
The joy is that we get to see just how good he can become. Comparisons are futile, until he plays regularly in the PL and top-level competition. The signs are there, and his performances in Argentina and in the World-Cup suggest that we could have an absolute gem of a player. How wonderful that he is ours. Personally, I think that he is an almost perfect counterbalance to Erling, and, together, they can rule the world....Mwwwwaahhhhaaaahhhhaaaa, mwwwwaahhhaaahhhaaa!
 
cant wait for this lad to be back....said before the world cup that for me he is as exciting as Haaland and nothing Ive seen since has diminished that...

hopefully we will at some point get to see both him and Haaland starting in the same team on a regular basis
