David Moyes can’t put a foot wrong right now.
There’s no need to get the calculator out, Everton are safe and he’s more than delivered on the objective of ensuring the club will be playing Premier League football in their new stadium next season.
If I dare to pick a fault with ‘Moyesiah’, I would love to see more of Carlos Alcaraz. Having covered Everton’s last two games against Brentford and Wolves, for me, the Argentine is the most exciting player at the manager’s disposal right now.
Alcaraz, a.k.a Charly, is a proper number 10 – always looking to create or provide a positive action in the final third. What has stood out most is his composure and decision making during the counter attack. He’s able to travel with the ball at speed, hold off defenders, and then slide a pass through to Beto, who only has the goalkeeper to beat.
Had Beto’s hot streak not dropped down to a lukewarm in recent games Alcaraz’s assist numbers would be up to three, to go alongside his match-winning goal against Crystal Palace.
They say ‘never fall in love with a loan player’, well the midfielder already has Everton fans singing his name to the tune of ‘Give it up’.
Moyes and the board have the option to make his switch from Flamengo permanent this summer. I’ve made my feelings clear on the matter, and for anyone still in need of convincing then just check out the wholesome content of Alcaraz alongside his ‘translator’ Jack Harrison.
