Ricardo Alvarez

[Besnik]

:thumbsup:

I think he was better than Milto and Palacio, but because he didn't scored in his 2 chances you guys are so hard with him.

i don't really care his wasted chances.. because we've had other chances wasted as well, but his game is kinda annoying, and sorry but your argument was bs

 

[Pajo]

his game is annoying? :howler: Sorry bes, but bullshit reason to "hate" on him.

He is not some world beater, but nowhere near as bad as some want to say. I just hope he stays injury free, his main problem while he is at inter. He will start playing better at some point, and get injured afterwards.

 

[tuadi]

I like this kiddo..

even though he is sluggish, the most important thing is he had contribution in "changing" the way we play in the second half..
we don't judge the player only from his speed.. that's ridiculous.. tbh

 

[Besnik]

pajo, please cut the crap with that 'hate' shit. why the fuck would i hate an inter player? seriously man, he's just not good enough and one good pass or a good shot doesn't make him a good player. The game is not only black and white.

like i said, he needs to improve on almost everything of his game, decisions with the ball, running with/without the ball, ect ect. he's far from being ready to be an inter starter.

 

[Pajo]

I said "hate". Does punctuation mean something to you? It's just an expression...

I neither agree or disagree with you since im not in a mood to debate, i was just pointing out your sentence "his game is annoying"

 

[Aurimas]

The fact is, when he plays, he is the most discussed player here, regardless of his performance

 

[Sqnalkel]

For the 10000000000000 fucking time, we didn't paid 12M for him.

he did good move in his 1st miss, but the 2nd one has to be a goal. I don't think his place is in the attack at all, he need to play in the MF.

His finishing in one-on-one has always been horrible and will always be horrible, I've been saying this since before we bought him that's why I've always wanted to see him play as a CM, his tackling and positioning are pretty good, his work-rate is solid too. He could play as an AM but still think his best position is CM.

I thought he made a difference when coming on. He ran a lot and showed the ability to beat a player off the dribble which is something almost no one in our squad has.

People really seem to have very different opinions of Ricky. But I have to say that it was very difficult to watch Ricky's play today as a matter of fact it has almost always been. He is such a limited in so many aspects. I really can understands why Besnik sees Alvarez play annoying.

I couldnt understand why we bought Alvarez in a first place but I really tried to believe that he could improve and find his best positition. He hasnt play much recently so I maybe he can improve when he gets into full match fitness but I starting feel that it would be better to sell him now when we still could get some cash out of him.

 

[.h.]

like him or not, it is a FACT that he got the first? or second? most assists last season, despite all his injury problems.

alvarez,sneijder and maicon all had 5 assists last season

 

[Sqnalkel]

He tied for first with Sneijder. Also look at his stats this year compared with Sneijder:

W. Sneijder
Avg. Passes: 247/(360/90) = 61.75
Pass Success: 86.4%
Key Passes: 14/(360/90) = 3.5
Dribbles: 3/(360/90) = 0.75

R. Álvarez
Avg. Passes: 74/(101/90) = 65.9
Pass Success: 91.4%
Key Passes: 5/(101/90) = 4.5
Dribbles: 4/(101/90) = 3.6


He also contributes a lot more in defense than Sneijder, his tackling is superb, but he really needs to improve his decision making, he still takes much time sometimes and ends getting dispossessed stupidly. In Italy you need to play faster because defenders won't give you much space, also he needs to use his body more to protect the ball, he's 1.88m and he still gets beaten by small players a lot.

Everyone wants to exaggerate but this went a little bit over.

 

[Grammarcioni]

If he had scored one of those two golden opportunities today, I would think a little more of him as an Inter player. As it stands, I'd much rather have somebody else on the pitch, someone with two feet.

I'll wait to see Alvarez as a starter in a proper role before we judge him too harshly.

It's like Coutinho. We know the skill is there. But if they don't start, they don't perform. The type of players they are, if we giive them twenty minutes and assume they will fit in...it's just not going to happen.

They are the type of players they need to help dictate the pace of the game from the beginning. Strikers and midfielders destroyers can be added at the 80th minute and look like they started the game. But creative players...I don't think as much.

 

[Pajo]

True enough.

Tho, Ricky has done much more for the team than Cou. Not saying he is better or something, and he SHOULD do more since he is 4 years older.. Just saying.

I don't feel confident about Branca getting good money for him if it were to happen. I would be more enticed by the idea if it was something like 20m plus Alvarez for James Rodriguez or something.

 

[snake]

20m plus Alvarez for James Rodriguez or something.

Alvarez + 6 million.










Sorry had to...

 

[Sokrates]

I am still convinced that this guy can become an important player. He is one of those players who need the full support from the club and fans to perform good.
Forza Ricky!
