Benny Blanco 21 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 He was actually decent yesterday won the majority of the balls in the air. He would be fine if teams lump the ball in the air for the full 90mins he can cope but his positional sense is suspect and has no pace. He's not as bad as everyone is making out and is just as bad as Martin at the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thought Alves was decent. Others were at fault for the goals and he was largely solid enough. I agree he's becoming a scapegoat. Still my first choice centre back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great by any means but nowhere near bad enough to deserve the criticism he's getting on here. In fact, he was the best of the 3 CBs we had on the pitch yesterday. Cardoso and Alves seem to be the scapegoats of choice for yesterday. Bates is probably fortunate he got injured as it seems to have taken the attention away from just how bad he was at their first goal. Yet I've seen umpteen people on here claiming that the 2nd goal wouldn't happen with him on the pitch. I think the criticism aimed at him is worse due to the level he’s played at , I agree fully with it though , turned out to be another shambolic signing and I can’t wait to see the back of him a few months on from thinking he’s exactly what we need couldn't wait to see him in our shirt when we announced his signing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger ranger 922 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thank fuck this forum doesn't pick the team, after reading about 6 weeks of pushy post about how good Rangers were, only to be brought down to earth by the same old failings, it's a team game btw.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Alves won everything in the air against them, Cardoso who I had high hopes for is a complete liability and should be shown the door. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowX 146 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Tin hat on here but I thought Alves was solid, dealt with everything in the air and his distribution is assured and efficient. Also thought Cardoso did ok under the circumstances... hasn't played since October right? if we were so worried about CB coverage Aiden Wilson shouldn't be out on loan.

TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 He deals with everything in the air because all that requires is him to jump while standing, soon as he has to track a man or has someone running at him he’s just as bad as anyone else He’s pish, would be our 5th choice if everyone as fit and we had kept Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,776 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I've been highly critical of him overall, but I thought he was pretty good on Sunday. Like others said he won pretty much everything in the air. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewaj3 1,444 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I agree I thought alves was alright, one of our better players on the day to be honest. I think the 2nd goal if we had a faster CB than him, maybe he could have done more.. however the fault still lays with cardoso for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
