Alcaraz

he played on the left side of a back three,truthfully irrespective of what i said earlier -he was at fault for the second goal,and for me not covering enough for the first one but that was santa cruz’s fault,
he was beaten in the air by doyle alot from long balls but defended corner / free kick high cross balls quite well,his ball control was awesome when he had it and his passing was simple and blooming good if im being honest, he looks a proper footballer,
he didnt make a great number of tackles but cut out alot with his reading of the game on last nights display i couldn’t tell if he has any pace but if you read the game as well as i thought he did you can get a way with that.

the million dollar question can he do a job in the league for us -on what i saw last night he looks no worse than any we have in defence at the moment and better than some.

do you think i could apply for bensons role as central/south america based somewhere in the florida keys[/quote]

nice 1 loudmouth.

What impressed me was that when Paraguay were pressing, and the other backs were going forward too, he held his position well, sometimes even moving back to provide that cover against breaks.

I think sometimes we have been left open from our backs pushing too far forward and forgetting their primary role – to defend.

I thought he looked fine.

Hard to judge in one game though.
