2025/26 Charly Alcaraz

[The Blue Watch]

I wanted to see him starting more games, but yeah, he has been poor. I think he’s probably best used as an impact sub, his decision making is poor when he has too much time on the ball and coming on against tired legs and when the pace is a bit more frantic suits him

 

[LiamMadrid]

I like him but god that was awful. So loose in possession, you just can’t be doing that.

It's really not good enough in any job. These guys are well paid professionals.

He looks good but in the end I think he is very limited and very inconsistent

 

[maccavennie]

Thought he was a little better 2nd half but 1st half was absolutely appalling

 

[EGWToffee]

I’ve been one of his biggest supporters. However, it’s not for the want of trying he’s just got no composure at all and he’s looked way out of his depth, especially tonight.

I think there’s a player in there somewhere. He’s just very ADHD.

 

[Clarky cat]

Really poor this evening, improved slightly in the second half.

 

[jazzy]

Wasn't alone but he was shocking tonight

 

[Tony Hibbert's Wife]

For the majority of that game I genuinely didn't realise he was playing.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Threaten to take away his mate if he doesn't straighten up...

 

[MACCA75]

I can’t even defend him anymore tbh. Totally different player to Doucoure yet he also makes the simple part of the game look incredibly difficult.

 

[TheBigIguana]

The sloppiness is annoying but he has to keep playing for the very simple reason that when he’s not out there (and also Ndiaye isn’t) no one shoots. He had three of our five shots today. Against Chelsea he was the only attacker with a pass leading to a shot. Like it or not we need someone on the field that will give us some semblance of a chance to score.

He also makes passes that land the team in trouble time and again!

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Let’s hope that puts to bed why we are starting KDH as 10

Annoying? It’s damaging us.

As is his inability to know where to position himself off the ball or press effectively.

He looks like a squad player, I’ve never seen the fuss at all I’m afraid.

 

[everton1953]

Awful performance, and to think some of us were wondering why he is not picked more often. I know, he wouldn't get picked if certain other players were available. He needed to stand up and lead by example but failed miserably.
