WB is a tiring position - Alonso should be rotated + kept away from big games. Whatever watfords plan was didnt work though did it, The man being tageted helped with assists maybe they targeted him because now bare with me here its a big brain thought.......they knew he was a threat!??

I ask because if we do then teams are just going to target CHO as whilst he is quick, his defending isn't great. Additionally, considering he was targeted, shouldn't Alonso get credit for dealing with it reasonably considering the pressure he was put under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHO has been our most dangerous winger recently.. It would be quite a shame to make him play wingback, not to speak about his defensive skills. Alonso or Dave are better options IMO, let Callum play in his natural position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really get this. Look at the positions Alonso gets in and you'd make a case that CHO can be effective in those areas too. Alonso has never been great defensively nor positionally. Just a body for set pieces really his only defensive trait. Rudiger and Kante/Kovacic make up for Alonso's lack of pace and defensive awareness. Dave at LWB is just comical and will negate our left flank even more. Either recall Maatsen and have he and Alonso as our options or CHO and Alonso moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork 1,794 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I would play Ziyech at LWB ahead of Alonso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they knew he is slow. And he didnt deal with the threat at all. We conceded a lot of chances from the left flank. Watford's wastefulness in attack makes no difference to Alonso's performance at the back. Solution to Chilwell injury is to rotate Alonso with CHO. Play CHO in the important games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Proved his worthlessness once more. Absolute cancer. Nevermind the goal his poor defending cost us, 3 times he could have crossed to a better positioned team mate, 3 times he shot into the stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,490 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 No choice but to continue playing him but I really wish LWB is addressed ASAPÂ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 He had his moments here, but he needs to go. He simply doesn´t cut it as a WB. He clearly lacks the pace and general athleticism for this role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 He had a strong game against Madrid. He works better pinned up front in a high press because he's not the one chasing back. All he needs a time machine so someone could tell him he aint a RB/RWB, but a striker! would have made 3x as much too. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Looks like he’s off. Low key one of the best strikers of a ball in recent Chelsea history. He was pretty bad apart from that but was a pleasure seeing some of those goals and shots Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you rolled back the years I wouldn't mind keeping him, but he's over 30 now and slower, so probably time to move on to a slower league. His direct free-kicks were also always dangerous from that right-hand side, always seemed to hit the target or get close to it.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Ashley Cole left 8 years ago. After him we didn't have better player than Marcos Alonso on the left side. bohops, Blue Armour and King Kante 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kante 1,643 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Never understood why people hated him so much; yeah he had limitations but equally he had some top traits. For me he looks like he is off, if so I will wish him luck and thank him for his service. Beigl, Fulham Broadway and Tomo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 He was a very frustrating player and I am glad to see the back of him. He scored a few nice goals but way too few to make up for his disruption of our play with his terrible positioning and lack of pace DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason Conte tried to replace him immediately, his first year was his best in a Chelsea uniform.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Thank fuck. Nice one for the odd goal here and there but thank god this dinosaur of a player has gone. Slow, lethargic, headless and arrogant. Bye bye. 👋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
