2025/26 Charly Alcaraz

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Game changer

 

[zook]

Great watching a player who has that competitive edge and obvious desire to win. Unfortunate lad to not have had more game time this season. Plays with urgency, always looks to play forward and can get himself and others into dangerous areas.

 

[hetion]

Quicker than you think, has that passion and fire to win, love him personally.

I'd also forgotten how speedy he is. AND how young he is. Still think its deeply weird how short a contract we gave him.

 

[Lanolin]

Made a massive difference today, looked like he really wanted it which was great to see.

 

[Ged G]

Changed the game when he came on. He was our best player.

Shout out to Pickford who kept us in it early on.

Undoubtedly. You somehow come to expect it from Pickford.

Typical South American/Argentine mentality. And ability.
Hoping he's gave Moyes something to think about today. Because he needs to. Talented player right under your nose and you've started him once this season. And chucked him out wide even in that.
Got a lot of time for Moyes. But he's f,kin this one right up.

Made a big impact along with Beto to get us back in the game second half. He really seems to only thing about going forward with the ball as opposed to sideways and backwards which is nice to see for a change.

 

[Frenk]

I thought he would start today, glad he came on and made the difference.

 

[jceverton]

No one’s going to convince me that KDH is an upgrade on this guy. Has also got a good understanding with Beto. They both need to start consistently.

 

[the golden visionary]

Id start him at 10 drop hall back and put garner rb

There is certainly a case to be made for Alcaraz starting games when Beto is picked as the striker, they just seem to click together for some reason.

 

[Papa Shango]

No one’s going to convince me that KFH is an upgrade on this guy. Has also got a good understanding with Beto. They both need to start consistently.

The problem is we have 6 players for 5 positions there. Grealish, Alcaraz, Garner, Dewsbury Hall, Ndiaye and Gueye (By that I mean if you are playing Alcaraz you probably have to move KDH back which means you lose Garner or Gueye). So no matter who is left out someone will moan about it.

That's before even thinking about McNeil and Dibling (and Tim Iroegbunam suppose who was great today).

Nice problems to have for once.

Honestly his lack of minutes has been criminal. Would agree entirely with this.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Btw lads this is what it’s like to play with a number ten and not a second box to box midfielder
