Alonso was a reason we lost today but mainly because of that second goal where he was flat-footed on defending. He played well otherwise I thought
Now misses by our 2 best scorers, yes, but shit happens.
Truly shit performances were Azpi and Willian. Willian is horrific, so is Pedro. They are both simply too old now, and Wilian, other than one oki year, has been shit for ages.
Marina doesnt scout, BUT she sure as fuck owns that £65m turn-down on the Barca offer, she sure as fuck owns the refusal to toss in ten or so million more to make the Martial Willian swap happen, she sure as fuck owns the Alonso renewal, etc etc etc.
If Alonso, Azpi, Wilian, Zouma, and Pedro are still on the team come August 2020, she should be strung up like the old Tyburn Tree was still around. I cannot mentally take 21 more months of seeing them trot around the pitch wearing our kit.
