2025/26 Charly Alcaraz

Feared for him under Moyes. For one playing him out of position. Like he did at leeds. Or not playing him at all.
He's being completely wasted imo.

I think the whole reason he was bought was that £12m was as cheap as it gets these days. Probably deserves a go at the weekend just to try something different.

moyes hand is forced. kdh is suspended no?

He is very different to KDH. Either looks for the striker or looks to shoot.

Should be playing when we're chasing a goal.

Definitely a option that should be used when chasing a goal. He is probably are most direct midfielder

He's the kind of player who needs encouragement and confidence from his coach. And honestly, I don't see that. We'll see the next game, but don't get your hopes up too much.

Pretty obvious that Moyes doesn’t really fancy him - hence only a 2 year contract. I hope he gets (and takes) his chance next week.

Well he will have his opportunity on Sunday...let's hope he takes it and show moyes that he should be starting...but KDH has been good to be fair...problem is other areas of the pitch.

He did that a handful of times last season and Moyes kept sending him back to the bench followed by spending big money on the position in the summer.

Yes. Should’ve been on at the 70 minute mark the last 2 games. Moyes is allergic to subs again.

Charly needs to start I know his last appearance was mediocre so was almost everyone's at the wolves cup game. Needs to more game to develop a rhythm.

A player bought to be sold for profit. But how do they expect that to happen if he doesn't play

signed on loan, first new face in, then signed in full first. How much encouragement and confidence does he need?

Just more time on the field. That's enough.

Moyes alluded to preferred changes if the wolves second hadn't arrived. The side was rotated in both the LC games. One worked out, one very much didn't.

Damned either way. The CM balance needs addressing, we're like a mindless flock of lambs there atm, no one knows when to hold or cover or move the ball on quick. If N'Diaye was knackered last night then Patterson or Coleman to provide cover on the flank was essential to help out O'B. But then he's attacked for taking the foot off the gas and surrendering to a point. Damned again.

Weakness in defense could be masked by a powerful attack. What happens at one end has repercussions at the other.
