There are times where it felt like he wasn’t on the pitch

You're talking about Haaland right?

You're talking about Haaland right?

You could say it about all 11 players today to be fair

 

[TrentGrisham]

He wasn't good... but he still should have stayed on to try and preserve a point over Haaland.

 

[Beanhead]

Probably should have kept him, but I didn’t think he did anything. There are times where it felt like he wasn’t on the pitch

This.. I love the lad.. he’s proper talented. But if I were to put my house on a player doing nothing all game only to hit the onion net it would be one guy and he’s rather large with a top knot.

Alvarez works harder than anyone chasing lost causes. Its a waste of such a talent when he has to do the running for Haaland who is stationary. He will get burnt out as seems Bernardo ,Foden and in the past Aguero who had thankless running to close down defenders only to see the ball going sideways and backwards when we do get it.

 

[Passarella]

Jorge D'Alessandro ex Argentine player but now a leading Spanish TV commentator says on the programme El Chiringuito that Julian is the new Alfredo Di Stefano a truly huge comparison.Like 'La Saeta Rubia' he is from the River school and is a playmaker cenre forward rolled into one with a huge engine.D'Alessandro goes on to say Alvarez will be the best in the World.

¿Cuál es el precio de salida de Julián Álvarez?

Aunque su valor de mercado es de 80 millones de euros, el club azulgrana cree que podría lograr su fichaje por una cantidad inferior

Here's the only solid scoring chance Julian had last night - mostly he was in harass and support mode.
He also sold a dummy well to set up Messi for a goal.

Tim Vickery has a semi for our King Julian. Again he's saying he's more than ready to take over the Messi role in the national side.

I wonder if Pep is thinking about different styles for the team depending on who he puts up front?
