19 | Julian Alvarez - 2023/24

[lancs blue]

Gets a lot of abuse on this forum

Sums up too many BMers I'm afraid.
We looked much sharper when he came on.

Nothing special but he offered much more than doku & made life much harder for Utd

Thought he was good today when he came on. Picked up some great positions and was brave on the ball - and got an assist!

Thought he made a real contribution when he came on.

Made a big difference when he came on, darting into space, giving and going. He helped up the tempo.

I know I said he shouldn't be starting, but I really wanted him to start this game over Doku. Felt he would've been the more stable option in tougher games.

Came in and changed the game. Well done Julian.

Give him a run on the left. Terrific cameo.

Yet again he makes a difference

15 goals and 11 assists says he’s one of our most effective players

Don’t think he particularly changed it. We were battering them before that and had many opportunities. Was happy for him to come on. I don’t think Doku started due to his form. It was because with him on the left we could have our better players in their best positions. If Pep is gonna try Alvarez on the left fair enough but doesn’t seem to want to do that. So currently the balance of the team is better with him on the bench. He’s also a great option from the bench if we need a goal.
