19 | Julian Alvarez - 2023/24
- Thread starter MAG
- Start date
Scored against Liverpool last season, Madrid in the CL, others as well. Haaland is not great in the big games as well. We are generally worse this season in those games, not just Julian.How many goals and assists against the top teams in the league ? 0 against Liverpool, 0 against Arsenal, 0 against Villa, 0 against Spurs, only 1 assist against the rags.
Pep needs to rethink his approach about control if he wants Alvarez in a deeper role even with KDB being back from his injury.
today was really visible when up against serious press, lack of time to make passes, lack of space too, Alvarez were passing with like 56% accuracy that is piss poor and then lost the ball in duels as well a lot.
asking him to play deeper or left wing is too much for him to deliver. Pep wants to give him game time clearly lot more than to someone like Nunes or Kovacic.

Cash in this summer. How he gets picked every week is a mystery. Nowhere near elite level.
He was played out of position. He's a striker not a winger or left midfielder.

He is a striker not a winger sell him and the viking has no backup
Haaland will be gone before we know it. Summer 2024 is the time to get another striker in. Alvarez ain't the ticket.

There are games it makes sense to play him. Liverpool away isn’t one of them
Unless he’s playing striker. Does not have the control to play midfield. We ALWAYS look wide open when he played there.

He did a great job for us earlier in the season when we were without key players but we cannot now keep shoehorning him into the team when there are options who are quicker than him in pace and thought and he is also leaving us too top heavy

Harsh that. Shit today but he's a great player.
