Edson Alvarez - Solid in defense Alvarez recorded seven tackles (four won), two clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton. Impact Alvarez was all over in the defense Tuesday, registering seven tackles, two interceptions and two clearances. He continues to be solid in the holding midfielder role, starting in the club's past five matches while notching 15 tackles, 10 clearances and four interceptions. However, he will have to look to improve on his attacking play, as he has been virtually invisible moving forward this season, only having one goal on 10 shots and two assists on four chances created.
