2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

Just hope that Moyes saw enough to start him against Wolves and not bring Doucoure back in.

Me too. Thing is it's not a straight swap. They have different strengths. Moyes has to think, do we play this way, or that way.

Reminds me of Gerard Delefeou the way you lot are creaming over him.

Does that mean you still want Lindstrom to play?

I think Moyes will bring Doucoure back in because of his energy (for 60 mins then he’s goosed) and his pressing, and because it’s an away game.

Yep, I’d play Alcaraz when we don’t mind a football match breaking out, play Doucs when we are looking for a bit more wrestlemania.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Got that Argentine passion and fighting spirit. Not perfect but deffo needs signing

You can’t expect perfection for £12M and there are not many perfect players if any——Messi’s not very good using his right foot!

Wayward shooting tonight.

Yes, it's great to see a player confident and willing to shoot. Not every shot goes in or is on target - seems silly to have to say it.

In the match threads there's a weird attitude that every player that isn't 100% perfect all the time is garbage. It's so weird

Once the game opened he was the most dangerous player on the pitch. He seems less effective currently in compacted areas, but at 22 he has plenty of time to adapt all round. Will start most games next season if we sign him.

Yeah, I was hoping he'd have more of N'Diaye's ability to turn and go past players in those tight situations, but he didn't really do that yesterday. Played fine for me, but nothing "special" and his shooting was poor. Some promise there tho, and would still rather have him in that position than Doucoure (although that is a low bar atm!).

Hopefully we can get a decent right winger in the summer and we'll have 3 decent threats behind the striker.

Gonna say the same.

Last night it was comforting to see the team no panic on the ball in an away game against a very good side. And Carlos was a huge part of it

he carried the ball well and did turn a couple times in midfield. N'diaye is one of the best ball carriers in the league so that is a tough comparison. Excited about Charly but he will need to improve that final ball and don't see why he can't

He covered for O'Brien the whole game, till he went off - they had a player who was fast & caused O'Brien problems ....

He reminds me of richy without the goals tbh

We’d win the league with that.
