2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

That’s fine, but there’s no reason why we can’t have creativity and height. I’d suggest having a physical presence is more important in the ‘deep’ midfield to go with Gueye than have it behind the striker…

Garner hasn’t been exceptional this season, Tim has shown glances but needs consistency. We need a physical CM for sure, I just don’t want that in place of a 10. We need both on the pitch, not one in the other’s spot

I don't think Doucoure fits this either, but if you look at many of the ACMs Moyes has had (Cahill, Fellaini, Soucek)-all good in the air. Alcaraz doesn't fit that.

Once his stamina is gone, Tim tended to give away the ball so easily in dangerous area. Tim lacks defensive awareness. Probably 4th/5th choice CM.
