19 | Julian Alvarez - 2023/24

[super_city_si]

Pep has overplayed him. He will regain form and people will be eating their words. He's lost now, though. Bobb would have done more today.

hes top quality but hes in a bad run of form and i think hes absolutely gassed. The last 2 years of non stop look to be catching up with him.

needs a spell on the bench

As I've said we have no other options, that's why he's starting

totally agree. We can cope with a smallish squad if the players are top notch, but the recent recruitment has seen a serious drop off in quality.

 

[Haaland94]

One of the best, most talented young players in the world, being totally overplayed and played out of position. People calling him shit and not good enough are just wrong.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

Needs a bloody good rest. Looks burnt out.

Hopefully KDB will be able to play enough soon enough and Julian can get some bench time to clear his head. He can come off the bench when it'll benefit both him and the team.

He played well first half working hard but he definitely has lost a touch or two

 

[TrentGrisham]

The amount of unnecessary fouls he gave away yesterday was driving me mad. He's exhausted which is extremely concerning given he was rested midweek and the season is still long. There was a moment in the 70th minute where he was walking right in front of Pep, and I was sure he was going to be taken off at that moment. Of course, Pep didn't.

I‘ve thought that we’ve lacked a cutting edge since KDB got injured, while Alvarez is clearly a very good striker, he doesn’t have that killer pass, I’m surprised Silva isn‘t playing in midfield as he was a good replacement when KDB was injured in the past!

We have bought a few new players this season and they’ll come good in their second season, very few new players fit seamlessly into Pep’s system!

He's not exhausted, he's a top player with only 23 years old, he was rested for the UCL game, the team is playing like shit, not just him, that's the reason.

Yeah maybe.
Something is wrong though. It looks as if he forgot how to play footy. His goal threat is completely gone. Wonder if there are any personal issues.

I wish Micha Hamilton had been on the bench
