2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[knowing your history]

The creativity of Ndiaye paired with the attacking style of Charly up front and center is an exciting prospect. Bring on Arsenal.

Both need to get their fitness up. If so then it could click nicely v Man. City.

Dwight might also be back in contention for that.

I agree, not enough 40 yard hat tricks for my liking

Can't understand that you think he was totally anonymous. He was our only threat going forward along with beto.
Harrison was utter rubbish as was doucoure.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Has talent, but not completely 100% convinced. Is he effective? As in goals and assists and leading counters? Hasn’t had chance to show it with a run of games in the middle. But Onana was uber talented but had almost zero affect on scorelines (other than losing midfield runners).

Need to be sure he affects results in the way Illy does. Lindstrom has load of talent but can’t unlock it to make any difference.

I want him to turn out good, and would trigger the bargain price anyway as we could probably sell him immediately for 5mill profit. And we need more exciting players with a bit of vision.

When you don't receive many passes there isn't a lot he can do. When on the ball he is quite creative and looking for positive passing. He is one of very few we have that does that. I am sure Moyes will be telling players to get the ball to him and Ndiaye as soon as possible. They carry basically our only threats

 

[Del-boy]

He can carry the ball at pace. Something nobody else can really do. Has to be playing in the 10 though. Wasted out wide.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

His weight of pass and assured manner on the ball is night and day compared to some of our attacking players.

 

[Strumpet]

This. He's not a winger and CERTAINLY isn't a left winger.

Playing number 10 in our team is a really tough ask. Full backs don't provide enough in terms of options so the whole attack just ends up looking isolated and easy to mark.

Having said that I hope he gets a run in the last few games. Better than the alternatives.

Agree on the first point, not had anyone who can carry the ball like that for a long time.

I think with better players he'd be quality and I still think there's more to come

 

[witchdoc187]

Thought he played well always looking to go forward. Hard when we playing so defensive. Big favourite of mine

 

[Furey1878]

Thought he was unlucky to leave instead of Doucoure tonight. Understand why you might want Doucoure's energy in the team, but why not drop Doucoure deeper and play Alcaraz as the 10?

I'd honestly rather drop Doucouré, play Alcaraz in the attacking midfield position just off the striker and bring Ndiaye in on the left wing. Maybe bring Iroegbunam in for Garner while we're at it?

 

[Zatara]

Has to be in the 10 with Ndiaye out wide...every single game.
