Antolin Alcaraz

[Ameen]

Solid at the back, didn't really put a foot wrong.

 

[Eggs]

....I told everybody that the lad I know on Wigan's 1st team backroom staff said this lad is real quality. He couldn't believe we got him on the cheap and also couldn't understand why the rs didn't go for him ahead of Toure. We want Jagielka back, but this bloke looks the part. Big test against Stoke.

Didn't really see it today but he's good in the air too.

 

[FTY]

Solid, very solid. We've got a good squad here like.

 

[Lien]

Came in for his first proper game in many months and did well. Few risky moments but overall few complaints. Played.

 

[MartSlinger]

Alcaraz in actually being good shocker.
I know a lot on here said he was, but others chose to ignore that and focus on him playing for Wigan, and because he did, that instantly made him poor.

 

[MartSlinger]

Double post. My bad.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Did well today, a lot more composed on the ball than Jags.

 

[Azzurri]

Very, very good today.

It's like having Zidane at the back when he gets the ball.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Very good player. Good defensively and our best cb on the ball.

 

[davek]

A player immediately denounced as "rubbish" by the clever people proves to be impressive?

That doesn't sound right.

 

[Tony Mendez]

Very good on the ball today.

He's a bad tit though.

 

[Zatara]

Didnt really see it today to be honest, loads raving about him but seemed not to have much positional sense--comes with games I suppose.

Load of arsenal fans in the pub doing my head in so couldmt focus on him.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

The reporter over here said during the first half that Alcaraz just didn't look comfortable. I just thought 'WTF'?

Impressed with him today

 

[flibbyflob]

Did better than I thought he would after so long out, was comfortable on the ball which we expected but thought he'd be rusty and he wasn't.
