Because he was cheap and we needed bodies. Moyes has 11 players he wants to play in every match, and if they aren't injured they will play every match, except cup games which he doesn't care about. If we're keeping Moyes, which seems pretty nailed on, there is no point in building a squad because all you'll get is a lot of underused players sitting on the bench or in the reserves depreciating in value. Just let him have his 11 players and then tell him he can bring in 7 free transfers to bring on for 2 minutes or be forced to play through injury thereby giving him an excuse for every defeat. Alcaraz is pretty poor btw so we should sell him if anyone wants him
Suspect there's a few players we'd see an instant increase in performance levels for if we got a new manager in (Alcaraz, perhaps Dibling, Aznou).
Like with Dyche/O'Brien, Lampard/Doucoure, some managers really do let their ego get in the way of getting the best of out of their squad. It's akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I've always thought the best managers (e.g., Ancelotti) are able to be more diplomatic and pragmatic than that - by focusing on making the most of whatever they have regardless of the politics of narrative and control.
Some managers must like the option to blame what they haven’t got for any short comings rather than explore what they have got.

disappointed he didn’t do more when he came on as a sub in the 90+4th minute.
This was a diabolical sub, barely time to kick a ball at least he did have a direct impact even if short lived.
I think the way Alcaraz 'looked' when he went on was very telling, like he was
over the time he had on the pitch. Same mate,

Said it after the game mate. He cost us the game because he took a shot instead of passing to Barry. He passes, we win 3-2.
Most of our players don't pass. They'd rather take a shot than making a pass. We must have the worst finishing around the box in the league.

The fact he didn’t give his usual goal away was a positive.

Agree with your point. But then Moyes would complain about not having the squad to compete.
But Alcaraz is a very good technical footballer, i really like him. But the issue like you say, no one gets a chance unless his main 11 is out.

Or the bonus structure weights goals disproportionately in favour of assists.
