Antolin Alcaraz

[scratchnsurf]

More than a few posters seem to be overlooking the strange attempt at a clearance early in the second half, that a better striker than Jutkiewicz would have punished us for with maybe a game changing effect?

You seem to be overlooking the fact that any half decent keeper would have come and claimed that ball.

Confidence player.

He's got some tidy feet and is positionally good. I can't judge someone in that wind bowl on the weekend, anyone see Lukaku jumping for a header about six feet from where the ball actually came down.

From a tough start until now, the perfect opportunity with Stones crocked and Distin on the outer, Alcaraz has to grab this opportunity.

Well, you'd rather have him start gaining his confidence and form back against teams such as Villa and Burnley rather than the top of the table teams.

Overall, I'm very pleased with his contribution so far. He's stepped up for us when called upon.

We all know Stones is that new exciting car that everyone is buzzing about.

But Alcaraz is an old school 4x4 truck with a I'll spit on your face type attitude.

Robles?

I can only presume you didn't see the Lille game.

I did see the Lille game, and I saw a toothless team who don't score many goals, playing a lone striker at home. The work Distin had to do was negligible compared with the pacy young Ings and Arfield bombing on Alco and at Jags

Alcaraz out ‘long term’ with a shoulder problem, Roberto Martinez confirms. More soon.

Everyone saw that coming isn't it

Have to admit I didn't anticipate Bony piggybacking on Alcaraz damaging his shoulder, anymore than I saw Stones damaging his ankle ligaments from a simple jump.

Crystal ball is playing up a bit.

He said this week that we didnt need to go back in the market for a cb. I wonder if he'll change that view now?

Let's hope RM and distin kiss and make up or were knackered

Well, if Stones stays on schedule for return then I doubt it...unless he's bluffing.

 

[Ring master]

An Everton player injured,and long time out,whats new with injuries and efc,can we not just get someone injured for a week or less

Stones and Jagielka and Distin until May I would not wish for.

We may as well get one in January, because sure as eggs are eggs we'll be looking for one in the summer.

Alderweird on loan would have been perfect, sadly Southampton koeman has a boss eye for a player, him Tadic and pelle in for 20 mil

Not so sure we will be Dave, think Martinez sees Barry moving into the left CB role with Besic taking his place in midfield whilst we wait for Galloway to come through.

But perhaps Nastasic on loan in Jan - he's not getting even bench time at City,
