It is amazing how biased people can be, For instance, in our match against spurs, Alonso was clearly one of our best players and still there were people in the forum posting how bad he is. I don't mind the bashing since the guy pisses me off more often than not, but when he is playing good, the least you can do is acknowledge it instead of moaning for no reason.

I agree. On Whoscored after Willian 9.2 Alonso was our best rated player with 7.8.

But if the first choice gets injured and Alonso suddenly becomes temporary first choice...? Between Alonso and Emerson, I'd rather keep the latter. Has more years left in him than Alonso. Besides, we need competition and Alonso isn't going to provide it.

I kinda agree that for backup Emerson is the better choice. Not because of he will provide competition but because he is just ok at everything hence it is easier to use him as backup. 

But if our new lb is not a nailed down starter material, I much rather have Alonso. With Alonso you need to compensate but at least with Alonso you get contribution offensively. Now that Emerson has played regularly, I can safely say that it is not even close.

Really? Think it is well established by now that Alonso is useless in a back 4 and if we want to get more out of him, we basically need to switch to a back 3/5. Otherwise, we would basically be playing with fire in hoping the "good" Alonso turns up. It's amusing some people bash Azpi for his poor offensive play and yet are somehow okay with Alonso who is so SLOW and immobile for a modern full back. Stats don't obviously tell the whole story but here's a comparison between Alonso and Emerson (and Chilwell for good measure).

Also, Alonso turns 29 on Dec 28 and is on big wages. If we can get it off the books to open space for others, then all the better.

You don't have to play back 5,if you play a good defensive winger as lw and have a very good defensive right back. So Alonso can play almost like a wb. That what I mean by compensate. Or if you play opp that have very little threat from their rw.

With Emerson you don't need to compensate but he offer very little in both. 

Your Stat is pretty much on team Alonso. He has same goal and assist as Chilwell with half of his minute. I don't even need to look at stat to compare Alonso vs Emerson. It is pretty clear this season.

But it is stupid to handicap yourself for someone who is inconsistent and prone to making defensive errors. We want to be right up with the very best - Liverpool, Man City etc - and yet want to compensate for average players.

The fact that you only focus on the Alonso's goals and assists says it all, because those are the only stats favor him way more often than not. Other stats show Emerson matches or betters Alonso's contribution.

What is pretty clear this season that Alonso is rubbish in a back 4 (always is), can't be trusted defensively, and got binned for like 8 straight games prior to last weekend.

Update: 

With Alonso starting in the PL: 7 games 7 wins. 

Without: 20 games 6 wins 5 draws 9 losses. 

From 100% to 30% when he doesn't start. 

4 at the back or 3 doesn't matter. Our best option. Another Frank's misjudged.

He played ok today but you can clearly see that he has such a low level of football IQ

Prepare for Conference football in a few years' time people because we're gonna lose every game when Alonso is gone...

Took his goal briliantly today. Have to admit maybe its time to bring him back to starting XI. After all he was a part of the team that made that winning run and did well against Spuds both times.

Emerson is a disappointment this season and Azpi just can't play LB.
