An assist and scores the winner in his full debut, nice way to start.

He didn't look great for much of today but I remember Arteta, Pienaar and Fellaini taking a while to settle and show their class.

Assist and goal on full debut, when does that ever happen for us
Yes Arteta was written off quite early
Hopefully he’ll be an Arteta / Pienaar type of signing. A skilful genius who just needs the right home.
With Alcaraz, N’diaye, O’Brien, Chermiti, Garner and Iroegbunam that’s not a bad start….

Good players though they were, I hope he has more goals in him than either of them
Needs to ditch that dodgy high skin fade. But apart from that, looks a player.

I thought he added something today, never switched off and made things happen.
Early days.
I like him.

I think there's Tim Cahill, with better technique, and not the same aerial dominance here.
Alcaraz' best skill, according to many, is timing his runs late into the box to score. That is pure Cahill. I'm not sure Timmy would have threaded today's ball through to Beto quite as perfectly, though. The finish from the goal mouth scramble today had all the hallmarks of one of the many times Cahill opportunistically utilised his anticipation and desire to bundle the ball over the line.
He seems to also have the high work rate, determination, passion and commitment to pressing that Timmy possessed.
Equally fiery, Cahill was very adept at toeing the line between aggression and not being sent off. Whether he will be just as successful in finding that line is another question. I note Carlos was sent off for Southampton in a "friendly" v Lazio.
His style suits Moyes' tactics, if he can be half the player Cahill was, we will have found a rough diamond indeed.

A massive upgrade on Doucoure it appears. He can control the ball and make a pass, he looks like he is a player with lots of running as well. Early days, but, I can see him becoming a fan favourite here.
Now come on let’s not get carried here but he’s the natural successor to Messi.
I saw shades of Rivaldo out there today, with a hint of Figo.
But maybe it was just me.
