2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[BigDunc'sFod]

Did you read what I put Joey? I put that patto fked up, I was addressing that Charly boy started their move by losing the ball first but he wont get the grief for that but patto will get pelters, and hey presto... time for bed old boy FGS lol

Probably because he did the hard work, got all the way back, won the ball, then proceeded to pass it right back to the fella

….inconsistent in possession but a lovely weighted pass for the Beto chance just before half-time, be interesting if he links effectively with Barry.

 

[DrEFC]

Wiki has him at 5'9, I'm not having that

No, he's definitely taller that Seamus ect. He's taller than most would imagine.

 

[EGWToffee]

He’s a rough diamond with bags of ability going forward. I really like him

 

[Gilbert..]

No issue at all with him. Thought he was very good first half. Couple of blocks away from scoring. And his link up play was fine.
The 2nd half needs an inquest not just for alcaraz. But for Everton as a team. He lost the ball for the 2nd goal but you shouldnt be conceding when you lose the ball 80 yards up the pitch. Theres lots of work for the opposition to still do.
He's a major player for Everton this season.

He's heads above what we've had in the midfield over recent years, he'd run that much in the first half that his legs had gone early on in the second but his fitness will come over the next three weeks. Also running around in near 100 degree heat can absolutely knacker you out no matter how fit you are, hence why Bournemouth replaced their whole team. If anything the lack of subs will have helped the fitness levels of our first 11 but the lack of subs should definitely have shown the management just how desperately we need to build the squad quickly before the season start.

and then looked surprised when it was twatted past him into the net

Went close a few times and decent at linking play, but still doesn't look fit. Idk why he's been in preseason from day 1.

Thought he was alright today and worked hard.

If Moyes drops Alcaraz then I'd start to really question him.

Have you not watched a single game of pre season or something Zat?

Wasn’t up to much today. McNeil showed more when he came on and I think Moyes will go for McNeil to give extra defensive cover on the left. Charley doesn’t do this for us in my view

Moyes already indicated that he thinks Alcaraz is better coming off the bench as an impact sub. That's an important role for a club, and something we've lacked for a long time.

Ran into a couple of blind alleys but otherwise I like how involved he gets in our build up play. Just needs a bit more actual output this season.
