Given his position on the pitch he's remarkably not in the game much...or at least in it to be influential.I like Dewsbury Hall, as he's a clever footballer, but I do think we lack a bit of directness and goal threat despite playing "better football" with him in the team.
id like to see us give Alcaraz more of a go especially away from home, where he played a big part in us getting points in the back end of last season.

When you play there i that position you have to make things happen if there's nothing on around you.True today
I read somewhere this week an article with him saying something about being braver on the ball even knowing there may be mistakes. On 13 minutes at 0-0 he had a good chance to shoot in their penalty area. He chose to roll it left out wide which contradicts his interview. I do not think he has previously played in the 10 role so why now?He can't play as a 10. Has nowhere near enough quality for that position and it stops him using his ability to arrive late in the box.
This is why Chelsea probably got rid, he is one of those players that is ok but that's it.So far I've been hopeful for him, especially as early on he added a lot of composure and has a good first touch, which is something we'd lacked previously.
Today early on he was linking well with Illy but then drifted to the left leaving Illy to take on three defenders on his todd and then drifted out of the game.
I've resolved that he's not an attacking midfielder, but in Moyes' rather inflexible system I don't see where else he might fit.
Think the last paragraph is probably the true reason. Club have signed Alcaraz but Moyes has pushed for KDH also and needs it to be right.He's only 10 games in, let's hope he settles in and starts showing his ability.
Right now we need someone who can get us up the pitch much quicker than we are now.
In transition Alcaraz can do that much better than KDH. He carries the ball much better and braver on the ball.
The 10 has to be willing to take a risk, to do something unpredictable.
Moyes prefers KDH over Alcaraz. I can't see why (stubbornness, justify the fee whatever) but it's all so predictable.
Frank worked us out pretty easily.
