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

[edna krabappel]

Thought it was pretty bold of RdZ to bring him on at the moment he did. What is he: 18, 19? Never played a PL game before, is a creative attacking player, and he's thrown into things when we were trying to see the game out. Got to admire the head coach's cojones for that move. It worked out well, as it meant we started to stretch them again after sitting back for a while.

 

[Sea Cider]

I think the 2nd shot he had actually ended up helping Gross score. Mendy was all off balance.

Looks a great young player for sure.

'Ended up helping' gross!? His shots literally and directly led to the goal!

I thought the same thing. Same with Sarmiento. Bold subs

I know. I watched the same game.

My point was that had he passed to Gross rather than having that 2nd shot Mendy would have been better positioned and may have made the save.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Love his selfishness! Very different to what we have at the moment!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Enciso was the right sub at the right time. He gave the Chelsea defence problems. Great cameo from the lad.

 

[nwgull]

Was an absolute PITA to Chelsea for the 30 mins he was on. Made seeing out the 3-1 (until he initiated the 4th) far more comfortable with him defending from the front. Brilliant debut.

 

[Swansman]

Trossard was not best pleased with not receiving the pass when that chance came calling

Was more difficult than it looked. Thiago Silva used all his experience to enforce that the timing of the pass would have needed to be perfect or it would be offside or intercepted by Silva.

 

[The Wookiee]

Definitely needs experience - should have passed to Trossard in one chance, and Gross for the goal (but lucky that it rebounded to him anyway) - but also it's nice to have a striker who is hungry to score goals.

Lots of energy, made a few niggly fouls and got in their faces which I imagine is what he was instructed to do. Excited to see more of him.

Tiago Silva would have cut out the pass to Trossard IMO

Exactly what we were saying……very ballsy sub and Julio didn’t disappoint.

 

[Invicta]

Looked really good, pace , decent close control and likes s shot. Looking forward to seeing him again.

 

[trueblue]

I imagine the response nationally would be “bloody hell, they’ve found another one!” Fantastic impact & a great shot on him.

 

[brighton_tom]

Thought he made a good impact. Looks a decent player. On one occasion he didnt track back to defend and Mac Allister looked to give him some strong words, but other than that was very decent.

I also spotted this - Mac Allister is just getting better and better. Every aspect of his game - he’s a future captain. Hopefully with us!!

Yeah - saw that. With Lallana off the pitch, it was impressive to see Mac step up and give the bollocking out (Julio deserved it having left our whole left side unguarded).

However, the lad (who is just a boy) has a big future with us. You can see it already. He is going to be very special.

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

He looked pretty strong which is a really positive sign that he'll succeed in the Premier league.

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

0-2 regrettably

What stood out for me was his confidence.

What stood out for me is how he looks like he's bulked up since coming to England.

Not that waver-thin slip of a lad I thought we'd bought from South American.

He's a greedy bugger mind and should have slipped in Trossard for the first attempt but I didn't go mad at the time because we were 3-1 up. If we'd been losing or needed a winning goal, I would have been more than a bit pissed with that selfishness

 

[stss30]

Looks to me like he has bags of raw ability! As other's have said, he'll need to learn to be less selfish in certain situations/better decision making, but he's still very young. I was very impressed with what I saw.

100% - he’s much stockier than when he first arrived, and even since playing at FGR in the cup.

 

[GrossTurn]

Agree with those above saying he looked like he could definitely hold his own (physically) out there.

Also for someone who is apparently 5ft 6 he certainly does a good impression of someone a fair bit taller?! Not sure that’s accurate. Would make him just 1 inch taller than Lamptey.
