Both crosses that lead to the goals came from Alsono side if Azpilicueta was out on that left wing-back position against Eriksen he wouldn't have got the space to cross them balls Blaming Alonso for both goals would be kind on Matic and Cahill.

Even yesterday he put in a few excellent crosses. It's his pace and defending that are subpar and not good enough against top sides. He's passable against decent or poor sides where he isn't facing top quality wide players that can expose him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beigl 1,387 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 To think we had Filipe Luis who got treated like some tier3 playerWe couldn't get a better replacement for Cole, but it wasn't meant to be, because Mourinho didn't trust him. Now a FB in his tier would cost much more in todays market. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even a better player than Alonso? He made one league appearance for Watford, one. He played a couple of games as full-back for Mourinho, wasn't anything special there, and now suddenly he is an amazing wing-back? This is mid-table club stuff.

dimmas 131 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 At least kenedy has more pace, speed, athletism, more energetic to our left side and posses good technique aswell. At least give it try. Maybe kenedy defending is very doubtful (alonso not so good when comes defend too), bu kenedy probably much better when supporting attack. i mean seeing pedro play at the left side like yesterday, pedro have pace and willingness to take on defender is really much more helpfull to free hazard. I like alonso as player, but actually seeing alonso week in week out, doesnt have any pace to recover when he out of position is sad because that is really hold back our team.

Didn't say he was a better player but has more potential than Alonso imho , if we can't get a upgrade for Alonso in the January sales use Kennedy as back up ,was the view...simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a good LWB is more than just having pace, speed, athleticism and energy. You also need to be intelligent tactically and does Kenedy possess that? It's debatable and Kenedy barely did anything special as a LB. So, what makes people think he'll suddenly be a good LWB? On top of that, is Kenedy considered to be tall? Only 1.82m and last thing we need is having 3 short defenders in the back 5 and leave ourselves exposed aerially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Some people think Roberto Carlos was one of the greatest. But they don't watch enough Chelsea games. Because if they did, they'd know history has been re-written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
