2025/26 Charly Alcaraz


Obviously crap.
He has 10 passes leading to shots from open play the entire season. He is entirely too cautious of a passer to be a #10.

The other option is to change the system and I’m happy to go to the Moyes thread and discuss his sacking at the end of the season with that in mind.

The XA does not lie.

But let's fill the team with players who'll lose the ball witlessly and open us to the counter. That was an Iwobi classic as well.

The site I use (and used, before fbref lost opta data) has Alcaraz much higher than that. Not interested in investigating the difference, but what’s important here is over half of KDH is from set plays. Which does matter, but we can find someone to take a corner and he’s not actually good at it. Open play is where we stink.

On that we can agree. Personally id rather find a better partner for Garner long term than Gueye. We never control games.
 
Alcaraz isn't anywhere near Fernandes. Thats my point. See, put me on a footie pitch and I'll see a pass and most likely arse it up.

This is Alcaraz. Its lovely he'll try to be progressive, but the execution sucks. Utterly pointless, thus an idea ball at best.
But you are comparing a player at 31 with expertise confidence, with top players around and the starting spot assured.
At 23 Bruno was sucking big time in Udinese and Sporting.
Give Charly time and minutes on the pitch and we will judge him appropriately

Idea balls are the best, It's become a stat of it's own reciently, love an idea ball me.
 
I'd like to see him get more minutes when our better players are on the pitch, not to replace them as a sub, or get minutes when they are injured.
Kdh alongside garner with alcaraz as a 10. Or garner as a 6 with kdh and alcaraz as 8's.
Then I'll properly judge him.
Strangely enough, if our better players are on the pitch to my mind that means there's even less reason to be using him
