2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[TheBigIguana]

Thought he was unlucky to leave instead of Doucoure tonight. Understand why you might want Doucoure's energy in the team, but why not drop Doucoure deeper and play Alcaraz as the 10?

Or you could just put Doucoure on a plane and parachute him into the Sahara and then have anyone else play instead

Can already tell £15m is a bargain, you don't get squad players that good for that amount these days. An easy addition and I hope we just pay it instead of doing anything stupid

Thought he faded a lot in the second half after a decent first, which is a bit disappointing really.

Yea just like the way he ran 50yds on the right when Harrison broke away. A pass to him then would have been a different story. Play him as No 10 best passer we have in midfield.

Don't like seeing him out wide. There was an opportunity to test Curtis Jones tonight but ww didn't take it.

The only one capable of testing Jones last night would have been a fully fit Ndiaye, sadly that wasn’t to be! Agreed that Alcatraz needs to be inside and involved more!

Thought it was plain wrong myself mate, Alcaraz was easily the better player on the pitch last night.

Doucs is like a bad tooth takes ages like a Dentist to pull him out of the game ,,,,

Suffering so we can jam Doucoure in the team

I’d just like to see him get a run in his actual position to see what he can do. Now that Mcniel and Ndiaye are coming back there’s a chance we will. Though, I’m starting to think it’s in Doucoures contract that he has to start when he’s available so maybe we won’t see it.

Horrible out wide, maybe the occasion got to him.

Too many poo the bed in this game.

I thought he looked good in terms of his own game taken in isolation, but he just isn't a wide player and it was very obvious. I can't really blame him for that, it clearly doesn't come naturally to him or suit him, but I thought did well doing the things he should be in the team to do.

Yeah, it looked clumsy and uncomfortable wide.

Got the ball in some good positions, but it was when he drifted central.

Needs to start a load in that central posistion, Doucs is gone, so let Alcaraz have the mins.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Shame he never got the shout from Branthwaite for the header, was a gift and a half.

You're advocating using a parachute mate..

 

[Blue Smoke]

Little bit worrying moyes saying he will play charlie based on the activation clause. Suggests he is not yet considering him as definite summer purchase
