Hence why he has 3 assists this season and Azpi has 2. No target man most weeks. No desire to play through the wings. Everything comes central. Predictable. Easy to defend. No variation. I mean even Morata scored 2 goals when CHO decided to cross the ball in from wide areas.... Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Emerson, Zappa and Azpi all have around twice the success rate playing with the same players. Last season he managed a pathetic two league assists as a wingback while Azpi managed 6, from crosses, to Morata. Alonso’s stats for crossing look bad because he’s bad at crossing, not all these excuses. Bosnian Blue, Alabama, Mana and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Chelsea could avoid paying €9m to loan Gonzalo Higuain until the end of the season by sending Emerson Palmeri to Juventus on a temporary basis.

Should be useful to filter out some of the more toxic posts, and to reassure one's sanity at times: like Alonso had a good game against newcastle despite the usual negativity on here.

Problem is that the stats and vids can be misleading. If you're checing out say Moratas Whoscored out and look at Goals scoed you would think 9 in 1200 mins (20 starts, 8 subs) plus his strengths and weaknesses hes a really good player. And Youtubes best ofs make any player look great. Alonsos weaknesses dont mention Jack about him being slow as a turtle and can't put a cross in.

Alonsos weaknesses dont mention Jack about him being slow as a turtle and can't put a cross in. so are the reiteration of the same points about his known weaknesses, which are indeed quite obvious. On the other hand, folks just don't see what he does, only what he does not do. Watch us play and see where the ball goes? Is it Azpi carrying the ball into attack? Where does the ball go when Jorginho has a player on his back? His passing is actually quite impressive, which fits the way the team play like a glove. The guy had a perfect assist to pedro last game - why cross when you can pass to a player in the box? Of course it is better to have a "proper" left back who will produce 10 good crosses for our midget attackers. We are going in circles on this thread though... same points back and forth.

I can solve this all Alonso is shit as a fullback and we will probably never win a trophy with him there. He had one good (not even a full one) season at wingback 2 years ago. Last year he was semi-shit, and this year he is full stop crap. He literally has the worst cross completion percentage of any full time player in the top 5 European leagues and his extreme lack of pace opens us up like a cheap tin of beans when he saunters forward to lob in yet another shit cross. It truly speaks volumes about how crap Emerson must be if he cant bench this donkey. Sarri is delusional or trying to gaslight when he says La Tortuga is close to the best fullback in Europe. That is simply pure, unadulterated bollocks, 100%. ja1, Clockwork and Johnnyeye 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Only way we can know if Emerson truly is so bad that he cant bench Alonso or if Sarri is just blind to the donkeyness of Alonso is if Alonso gets injured for a long time. I'd bet that Sarri would play Azpi there instead of Emerson. Johnnyeye, Vesper, Unionjack and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However many times you call a player "shit" - and one who actual had an important contribution into our last silverware - it is still just one opinion. "extreme lack of pace" is the same reiterated point 100x over. One that nobody disagrees with. I personally think you are delusional and Sarri is a very good manager, but that's just my opinion.

I will take my chances, and I feel confident I will be the one (along with millions of other Chelsea supporters) to be proven 100% correct. Sarri as a very good manager is entire yet to be proven. ZERO trophies and he has our club on tenterhooks in multiple areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
