Such unhinged takes on this thread , Alcarez should be our number 10 he creates chances when we're not playing against one of the best defending teams in the EPL. Posters on here are so reactive
Not reactive from me mate.
Check my post history.
I don't rate him, haven't for a good while and nothing I say is inconsistent.
He's a liability with possession. He can run, he works hard, he carries the ball into open space well, but he has no football brain at all, he runs out of ideas often at the end of those carries he makes and he never has a picture in his head. I get very worried when he picks up possession in deep areas because I know he's likely to give it away.
He 1000% shouldn't be in the first XI, he's simply nowhere near good enough to be considered to be a first team player.
I accept he has uses in certain game scenarios, but there's nothing reactive about pointing out that he is bang average (in fact below average) for a team who are trying to actually play with the ball a bit.
I'd sell him without hesitation in the summer
