The point is Alonso has been shit for us since 2017 and still ppl find ridiculous arguments to defend playing him

How many games does Alonso have to cost us before he is relegated to the reserve team

Some members here wanted to play Alonso over Chilwell bc Chilwell rode the bench for England at the euros 😂

That looked saveable

Can just as well turn this off now not gonna end well for us

Alonso been absolutely useless for almost his entire career

Thank you Alonso

There is the necessary urgency in our play but no quality will be another frustrating afternoon

Passing to Alonso is an auto turnover

I know Lukaku is all big bones and muscle but in his xxl Jogger he looks like your chubby homie and also moves just as clumsily lol

Just Alonso and RLC coming in to our CL winning lineup. Will be interesting to see if we will be able to break through their lines. No unnecessary rotation this time understandably. Huge game

Agreed. We looked like the real deal but our play hinges on very few players showing how overrated our depth is. Take out Kante and Chilwell and we are an ordinary side. Subtract even more midfielders and confidence we look like absolute shit despite having the best coach in the world. We can only hang there with the best aka Mancity if we play out of our skins and assume the underdog role, being tight at the back and play on the counter. Our controlled, methodical, possession based play is not on a very high level if we are honest. Our attackers are average and we rely on Chilwell and RJ making runs in behind to score after Kante wins the ball high up the pitch. lampard was right to some extent. We actually don’t have the squad to play for the very big titles consistently. The fact that we still won the biggest of them all was down to TT finding the perfect formula and us embracing the underdog role perfectly. Now we are champions of Europe and everything changed. Everyone wants to beat us and we struggle with the pressure and expectations.

We have seen that Timo is not one of those strikers who just need that one goal to break the duck to then to go on a scoring streak sky high on confidence. He is a sensitive guy and he will need a lot more good performances and goals to reach his Leipzig form. Still even on form he is a highly frustrating player. You saw this again yesterday. Despite his 2 goals he shot straight at defenders or made bad passing choices quite a few times still, Leeds are arguably a good side for him to playa against. I just hope he gets a bit more direct passes into space instead of the usual slow ball cycles

4 poor performances on the trot. We are lucky to only have lost once. Still if the rot continues we throw the season away altogether. We just can’t live without Kante, kovacic and Chilwell. Lwb is a mess whoever plays. Same goes for midfield. Can’t really see us winning even one more game without all three

Wouldn’t mind that. We were head and shoulders above them and they are hardly any better now. Don’t care too much tbh Just hope we are in better form once we play them

At least 2 goals looked offside today

This is not happening. at least we can concentrate on the fa cup come next year lol

Alonso has been even worse than Saul since coming on

Our most technical attackers on now. Should give us a little control. But sarr vs dzyuba will be the worst

Almost gave me a heart attack with that

Nothing good has ever become of bringing on Alonso

How did we give control away again cant believe this saul and sarr is match made in hell down the left, making everyone nervous we can thank Kepa for being still in the game

Lukaku looks to damn ponderous in defence. Like treading water

He has to pull sarr, absolute liability

Barkley was decent, still gets pulled. Cho understandable midifield changed completely again
