He is so f***ing reliable.

Fills me with confidence whenever he has the ball, or whenever he is tracking back.

You just know that 9.5 times out of 10 he is going to do the right thing, even if the odds are against him.

Amazing awaresness of what is around him, and amazing composure on the ball.

Candidate for Player of Season so far.

All of that, and he has a particularly fantastic knack of doing a quick turn away from trouble, or to create space.

IMHO he is very overated as we are looking for a youngster to heap praise on as we are one of a very few teams in The Premier that he would get into. Ideal sub but not starter at the moment perhaps he will progress.

He is still under the radar re getting into other teams to be fair,and why wouldnt a football forum heap praise on a player who deserves it.
And I have to disagree regarding being over rated.
This boy has been played in all sorts of positions on the pitch and hasnt once let the team down ,which in my book makes him very under rated.

a galaxy far far away
He describes himself as an attacking central midfielder. To me he looks like a defensive midfielder. He should be competing for a place with Stephens and Propper.

BTW, I think Alzate has been brilliant in his breakthrough year

Which do you consider his best position and one where we do not have better options?

he certainly isn't a right back!!!

play players in the correct position. Alzate has good technical ability and operates best in a central/midfield attacking role imo. He has quick feet and the ability to beat a man and open things up for others.........the kids a blessing, so play him where hes effective.

Good job you aren't Steve's Grandad. He is a stylish and skilful player who has performed brilliantly in a range of positions. What more could you reasonably expect from such a young player?

has performed brilliantly is an exageration as he has done the job expected when required with fleeting good moments, no more no less

Blimey BG has he shat on your dinner or something?

He is easily the best prospect we have that's come through so far.
