It’s Newcastle. Jake Forster Caskey looked good again then too.[/

When JFC ever looked good ?

He’s the most talented player we’ve literally ever had.

I don't see anyone "big him up". He played well, got MotM, and rightly deserves the plaudits

But apart from that...

Now look, is it Al-zar-tay or Al-zat #askingforwarren

What a lovely welcome.

Well, he did say as he came down the aeroplane steps, “Christ it’s hot!” and then in the taxi, “what are those stupid looking animals with the huge back legs, I prefer sheep”. So I think he got away lightly.

When he didn't play. Any time he didn't play he was our best player and it was perplexing he wasn't on the pitch.

At the time there was quite a bit of racism toward the English. I guess in the 80's there were quite a few coming here and be honest far to many were whining about how much better some things were back home. Its much better now, but there is no way I could get away with calling myself and Aussie (not that I would want to), if I was from any other part of Europe, sure, but not England. I am saying England as I think the Scots dont get the "pom" tag, certainly not the Irish, the Welsh I am not sure. But anyone with an English accent north or south is a Pom and a whinging one at that.

HAHAHAHA thanks for that I am actually laughing out loud

Have you not lived in England recently, meeting the visiting Aussies? Christ I find it hard to believe that the English could have matched their constant whining about how great paradise back home is.

Yeah, it's not an Aussie's best quality.

Spotted this on his Wiki page just now:

“Alzate is a diving cheat made his Football League debut as a second-half substitute for Sandro Semedo in Orient's 4–1 defeat at Stevenage on 28 February 2017.”

Palace goons do you reckon, or someone with a grudge against Orient? Anyhow, how can it be removed?

 

[Guinness Boy]

If saying he is ' a star in the making' per OP isn't bigging him up, what is?

Talented, confident and MotM on his Premier League debut. Why wouldn't you big him up, unless you are a GIGANTIC MISERY.

Edit it yourself - anyone can edit Wikipedia pages.

(He does seem to be a diving cheat however. We can't turn a blind eye to our own if we criticise others)

 

[Algernon]

He needs to learn to cheat better. Mahrez' legs buckled before (heavier) contact with Foster and it hasn't even been mentioned. Alzate needs to get closer to any goalie before slinging himself to the deck if he wants to convince refs he's been fouled.
Or sign for a big team.

I f*****g hate the cheating/cheats in games. It turned me away from football for at least ten years or so.

 

[nickjhs]

Anyone remember a young lad coming through in the 1970s? Everyone was raving on about this youngster bought from Burton Albion for a set of kit. He made his debut against the giants of Hereford! He didn't do too badly. Can't remember his name but he was MAGIC!

Hmmm I remember singing a song about him when I was a kid in the North Stand, " he shot. he scored, he must be ......" now how did the rest of it go.

 

[Dunk&Disorderly]

Really exciting prospect, looked great in preseason and have been eagerly anticipating watching him play since Orient fans were raving about him on Twitter when the news of his transfer was posted.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think the bigging up was by saying that he was MOM, granted he played well but was no better than Stephens (my MOM) or Mooy but there is no doubting he is a great exciting prospect with more to come. Just keep ours and his feet on the ground.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Delighted to see prospects like Alzate finally make the first team - huge potential.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Apart from his obvious ability what stood out was his ability to deal with the physical demands of the PL...a couple of Newcastle players just bounced off him.

Manquillo, I think, was sent flying when they went shoulder to shoulder near the touchline.
