Everton have been transformed under the watch of David Moyes after he made his return to Goodison Park in January.
The Friedkins have been proven right in their decision to sack Sean Dyche with results failing to improve under the 53-year-old.
Everton fans could only have wished for a start like what Moyes has brought to Merseyside.
In what has been a staggering transformation, Everton are now seven games unbeaten in the Premier League since Moyes’ first game against Aston Villa, which ended in defeat.
The differences between Dyche’s time at Everton and the current regime is there for all to see.
And it is apparent the Moyes effect is not going unnoticed around Finch Farm with what Carlos Alcaraz has just admitted.
Carlos Alcaraz praises David Moyes’ Everton welcoming
Since arriving on Merseyside, Alcaraz has received help from Jack Harrison in settling into life back in England.
The Argentine now has a number of appearances under his belt in an Everton shirt as he aims to secure himself a permanent move to the club.
In an interview with the club, Alcaraz has hailed the 61-year-old manager for how he has welcomed him to Finch Farm.
“Moyes is a great person, he’s a great manager, he gives me and my teammates a lot of confidence, but maybe more so for me as the last player to arrive in a team that is already set up,” said Alcaraz.
“He has given me a lot of confidence, as have the coaching staff and obviously my teammates. He’s a great person and we’re very happy to have him back at Everton.”
Alcaraz wants to sign for Everton permanently after his solid start to life back in the Premier League.
And it is apparent the help he is receiving off the pitch is certainly taking the pressure off him when he puts an Everton shirt on.

Everton players are thriving under David Moyes after Sean Dyche
The comments from Alcaraz show a stark contrast to what some Everton players experienced after signing for Sean Dyche in the summer.
Jake O’Brien has taken aim at Dyche’s treatment of him after he made the £17m move in the summer from Lyon.
Dyche did not give the Ireland international an opportunity in the starting XI; a decision which he must now be regretting.
Under Moyes, O’Brien is thriving at Everton in the right-back spot, having finally been shown some trust from his manager.
Had Dyche still been at the helm, who knows how Alcaraz would be fairing on Merseyside, if he would have even joined in the first place.
