2025/26 Charly Alcaraz

[Taifi gorm]

Always passing progressively by putting the ball slightly in front of the receiver so they can continue to run forward

One of my favorite players in the squad, no idea why he gets so little time

That in bold.

I’m at a stage now where I’d happily just punt Moyes.

Charlie has always given his all. Is he perfect, no, but then again none of our squad are.

He 100% should have had a lot more minutes, that could be said for most of the bench.

Poor squad management.

And exactly the same last year away to Palace where he scored AND assisted to orchestrate an excellent away win. This was a midweek game.

Guess what then happened? Yep, staggeringly back on the bench that following weekend and wasn’t seen again for an awful long time. Rohl had his best game away to Villa this year, immediately dropped again and hasn’t been seen since. He was forced to use Patterson when injuries piled up, he played well, we looked balanced with a natural right back playing right back, but was soon dropped when others returned and hasn’t been seen since. Etc, etc. Harrison another.

We all know Moyes by now surely. No matter how well certain players play, they won’t keep their place if his favourites are available. But his “favourites” can stink the place out for weeks on end and run in to really poor form, and they stay in the team regardless.

The likes of Alcaraz, Rohl, Harrison, Dibling, Patterson need to pressure their agents to get them moves this summer because none of them will get a fair chance here whilst Moyes remains.

Has Moyes done well to get us where we currently are from where we were when he came back in? Undoubtedly yes! But I can’t stand him or the way he does things and I’ll be delighted when his second stint is up.

We can add Aznous little cameo against Sunderland and him saying after it "Seamus told me to be patient and I would get my chance".....not to be seen again

I like Alcaraz. Always have done.

Its quite obvious every manager he has had has dumped him is most likely because he doesnt listen to instructions well. If that is the case how do you handle him other than a super sub?

 

[Neiler]

Always felt he was bought, to sell on at a profit.

 

[Blue Neon]

I've always liked this guys attitude. Always has an eye for goal. If Beto's not available or can be subbed on for him around 70mins, I'd play him right down the middle even if it mean't a feet to chest game plan and bin Barry.

 

[maccavennie]

We would be so much more of a threat if the middle 2 were KDH and Garner, Alcaraz in front of them and a striker in front of him.

It’s why Gueye needs to leave. As long a she’s here managers will just blindly play him and Garner in the double pivot every match without trying anything else.

Hard to sell him at a profit when no one has seen him play for a year.

 

[Vaughan]

needs more minutes, he makes things happen

 

[Eagle Eye]

He also has a good understanding with Beto and brings out the best in him. I think the shouts to play KDH alongside Garner and play Alcaraz off Beto are the right ones tbh.

Alcaraz is not only good going forward but he can defend too. Probably out most under rated player

Don't the rest of his squad listen to him either ? Because most of them hardly play either.

He would be a super-sub indeed if he could do anything when not being brought on until the 86th minute. If your bringing a sub on they need at least ten minutes to get into the game usually, and you would want them to have at least 20 minutes to try and impact the outcome?

 

[Richard Alex]

100% agree mate.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

still think he’s got loads to offer, will probably need another club to show how good he could be.
