2025/26 Charly Alcaraz

[BigBeto1]

What a player. A really selfless number 10, happy to just get it and give it with the minimum amount of touches required. Love him

Now that is what I call a 10.

Not the crap ive been seeing.

Made a massive difference grabbed the game by the scruff of its neck

Man of the match.

I actually thought in terms of the ground he covered he was similar to KDH. We just missed someone putting in that shift in the first half. Barry didn't look interested and Ndiaye didn't look capable of doing what Alcaraz could.

Has to start. Play KDH further back instead of Gana.

Man of the match.

Absolutely... brilliant...

 

[hetion]

Incredible the difference watching him pass forwards from central areas - don't think anyone else did that all game.

 

[bullybeef]

Made the difference by playing with intent and confidence.

Nice one Charly.

We can just not play KDH the same as we could have just not bought him to start with. You don’t have to compound errors!

And this.

Whatever he did or didn’t do in Moyes’ mind, I hope it was all erased today. Instant game changer. His presence made so many opportunities and turned the match around. I think he should start ahead of KDH. Or at least with him. But he should not be a bench warmer.

Would be genuinely interested to hear from Moyes as to why he hasn't played so much. There must be something he's not doing in training/tactically.

Provides so much tenacity, he can definitely affect games in our favour from the bench (if not the start).

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Good cameo from Alcaraz today. Did his case no harm at all.

 

[BigBeto1]

I like KDH but the same as Iv felt since last season, Alcaraz just brings us proper balance.

KDH tends to take too many touches. I’d be open to playing a 433 but kdh shouldn’t be undropbable

 

[preposterousvelios]

Such a throwback of a player. He really is the classic number 10.

Needs to play now, well played
