2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[mahermi1]

I'm not advocating we retain Doucoure.

He's been ok for us, but we can do better. It's not a choice between him and Alcaraz. We need two players better than them.

Alcarez is better than Doucoure, much better, he is Doucoures replacement.

Dav —-have we got two attacking players better than him?

Ndiaye and we need to bring in a couple more.

Should be. But look at the deja vu of Moyes shocking cowardice in team selections.

It's almost like we're deliberately trying not to trigger his obligation

…which suggests Moyes isn’t convinced.

…which suggests Moyes isn’t convinced.

If you look at his career to date it seems like most of his clubs weren't convinced.

 

[Thomasc]

Looking like Moyes isn’t a fan.

He's looked OK. I wouldn't be in tears if he never signed at this point but hopefully more to come. Really should be getting played ahead of Doucoure.

He's not the only one. I think the issue is we have so many players who can't control a football or find a decent pass that as soon as we see a player with a modicum of ability we think they're amazing. He's been ok, but nothing special.

He scored 1 and assisted 1 against Palace
Laid 2 cracking chances for Beto against Brentford
Laid on a cracking chance for Beto against Wolves
Should have been a match winner against West Ham

When he's central, he gets involved and makes things happen.

Absolutely scandalous that he's not getting picked behind the striker when all of the above shows that when he's in and around it centrally, things happen.

It’s the opposite of cowardice to keep picking a player the fans want dropped.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Picks up very silly yellow cards. At 15m I think I still want him but more needs to be seen from him. Playing on the wing in a team that long balls & only hope is picking up the second ball is not his game.

 

[jonnyg]

Silly booking but it was pretty funny watching him block that quick free kick. Arsenal's players are the softest bunch in the league.

….spot on, we’ve brought in too much mediocracy and are delighted with a player who can look after the football. That last minute missed chance at the Gwladys St end that he dragged passed the post was his big opportunity to earn a deal.
