Marcos Alonso

But no back up. Kenedy isn't any better and this is exactly what I am talking about and have been since last summer, the lack of reinforcements.

Pedro would be much more useful in that position compared to Alonso

I'll rather have azpi play LB than Alonso there. We have enough centerbacks now, conte should push azpi there and reduce one tactical problem.

It's like Ivanovic is still around. Would have been fun to see Ivanovic and Alonso playing as WBs for us.

It'll be carnage on the wings lol

Right now I can't believe Kenedy woudl be worse than Alonso

Alonso playing like hes still playing for Sunderland or Bolton upgrade needed for LWB role

Honestly, I would rather put Azpilicueta at LWB and bring Christensen into central defence. Not ideal, but his lack of pace and his defending of late has been poor.

I'm still surprised that the club had no alternative targets for the LWB role apart from Sandro at Juventus.

Exactly, we may as well shift to a back 4.

Something like Rudiger - AC - Luiz/Cahill - Azpi until we find reinforcements.

What a great goal he scored I thought. Volley from such a tight angle, even the best strikers would miss from there more often than not. And his overall performance was also much better I thought, the resting period did well for him.

His shooting technique is superb, must be said. Only top thing about him.

I am already fearing what Salah will do to him.

Agreed, he doesn't need another manslaughter charge.

Not trying to be an 'I told you so' but I just hope my previous comments about him being overrated (*was overrated as I now believe people are starting to realise how average he is) are qualified now. Scroll back 3 pages to when I first mentioned it and it's full of the usual fallacies about how great he is going forward, or that he's a great technician. A travesty he's ended up being our only option at LWB. Absolutely no surprise most teams target our left side these days.

I hope an asteroid breaks his foot & he only ever plays for us in a charity match, in dedication to Ivanovic, fully immobilised by the asteroid 

I'm with you ^^^

Really average this guy, it's so blatantly obvious he needs replacing with much better quality.

Masuaku today caught my attention against City. His close control while dribbling and ability to beat the press single-handedly was very impressive, something I can never expect Alonso to do. We should sign him in January because we don't have anyone to rotate with Alonso anyway (He's better than Alonso) and downgrade him to the bench next season with hopefully a top class lwb.

My sentiment regarding this fella will always stay the same. Decent player, should never be the actual starting LB in the team though.
