[Albion] Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s new wonder kid (Signed 17/06/2022)

[JBizzle]

Super goal. One we've seen he's well capable of repeating. I just wish he'd occasionally take the sensible option and play the pass more often (like he did vs. Crawley). You'd never want him to lose that element of his game though, because so few of our players have a crack from range and it's a real skill.

Goals like that are amazing to see

 

[Simster]

What a way to get a 90th minute equaliser too.

Yes, but let's gloss over the fact that another of our players got sent off 7 minutes before that happened.

After being reduced to 10 men to boot

Yes, but let's gloss over the fact that another of our players got sent off 7 minutes before that happened.

Paraguay weren't actually reduced to 10 men. Diego Gomez was shown a red card for an altercation on the bench with Bolivian substitute Adalid Terrazas in the 83rd min (Terrazas also saw red for the incident). Gomez was subbed off in the 65th min.

Ah, hadn't realized! Hardly a screamer in that case

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

get behind this lad. Gold Dust. He wants it too badly almost is the problem.
I love him as a player.
20 years old ! dont forget that.

You're completely right to make this point.

To me, it beggars belief that someone should have to make it, but I'm glad you did

 

[Hugo Rune]

Did the Bolivian staff/subs actually kick another ball onto the pitch to get the game stopped during a Paraguay attack? If so, they are cheating ****s! Brilliant that Enciso made them pay.

Thank goodness the ref didn’t stop the game.

My son (Enciso is his favourite player) did comment that he had too many celebrations though. I think he reeled about 5 different ones off!

 

[US Seagull]

Exactly this, his enthusiasm just needs focusing. Julio is a terrific player.

Love he's enthusiasm on the pitch. He plays like nobody has ever told him not to do certain things. Like a coach would probably say he should have passed the ball to somebody else rather than take a chance on scoring a worldie.

But Julio doesn't do that. He thinks he can score from there and he's going to take the shot God dammit. And he's not wrong.

It certainly looked like it came from the direction of the technical area in the video clip of the goal.

 

[Freddo]

Worth noting the game was played 4000 metres above sea level. That’s some home advantage for Bolivia!

 

[Official Old Man]

90th minute. What did he do for the other 89 minutes. Nah, don't buy him.

Indeed, some context here: https://archive.ph/WmbIE I believe Bolivia haven't lost a game at home since October 2023.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Want him to come good however the problem with these infrequent screamers is it installs the belief he can do it every time, which is an area of developmental focus (decision making)

Saying that I saw he had another mazey run and actually squared it to a colleague who f***ed it up, so in the other hand, you can’t blame him!

 

[Triggaaar]

get behind this lad

I'm sure a large majority of us are.

20 years old ! dont forget that.

It's easy to forget.

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

Finally got that wonder goal out of his system! Hopefully it'll help him settle, because he is a game-changer.

He scores so infrequently he needs to roll them all out when he does!

I've not seen anyone not 'getting behind him' the big issue for him is going to be lack of minutes. He's currently behind Pedro and Rutter, and on form/impact rightly so. It doesn't mean he's not good enough just that he's going to get very limited chances to show it unless we get an injury (which we all hope doesn't happen).

Selfishly I want him to stay because the chances of us not getting an injury to one of those two is slim IMO. For Enciso it would probably be best to go on loan.

A loan with a recall option would be best, if that is possible anymore?

No it isn't, only in the transfer windows.

In which case KEEP. Nothing should stand in the way of the 25/26 European tour.

 

[Stato]

90th minute. What did he do for the other 89 minutes. Nah, don't buy him.

For 45 of them he sat on the bench. If he manages one goal every 45 minutes for us over the rest of the season, I'd put up with it.

Am I right in thinking that Gomez was sent off after he was substituted? Anyone know the context? Was he kicking off about the penalty?

 

[warmleyseagull]

Thought the commentator was somewhat over restrained. Could have said "Jolly good goal" or something to show his emotion.
