Marcos Alonso

In the PFA team of the year, what a way to silence the haters he has here. Clearly underappreciated on here.

I agree. Whilst he isn't exactly a great player, there aren't that many better LWBs out there. Meanwhile Moses pretty much escapes criticism altough he clearly has a worse season than Alonso.

I’m so happy you guys here are rational and don’t actually think Alonso has that TOTY spot because he’s an amazing player. 

[robsblubot 3,545]

yes we know better than to value goals and assists. How silly of them!

We know what's really important in the game.

 His reputation outside the club actually far exceeds him or the stark reality. The casuals only see the highlight plays such as the free-kicks and the odd goal he scores but they don't see just how basic and mediocre his game is. Just goes to show how few people actually watch matches before having an opinion on anything. Most casuals who have opinions on Chelsea players or on any other  teams' players excluding their own generally don't know what the fuck they're talking about. This is why I can't take such opinions seriously. Anyway, congratulations to the guy but its funny how one of our players that defines this new era of substandard quality makes the PFA team. 

Its also one of the reasons why players like Hazard are severely underrated by opposition fans. Because he isn't exactly the 'goals and assists' type of player

Hoping this increases his value a little bit and we can offload him to one of the big teams.

Nah we appreciate Alonso. We all know that he is a decent player but if Alonso is the best left back this season, then the other left back are just horrible.

I think we all know he won because he is pretty good at freekick but other than that I don't think he has been spectacular this season

Same here.

In terms of potential and natural talent Emerson is head and shoulders above Alonso and has not put a foot wrong so far. I understand that Conte wanted to ease him in but now that the season is done why not give the fringe players a chance?

Scenes when Conte plays Zappacosta or Azpi at LWB instead of Emerson...

I guess that didn't work well, hardly silenced anyone on here. I'll repeat the popular opinion: He's there only because of his goals and free-kicks. Since when have we started taking TOTYs as a measure of greatness anyway? Most times they are farcical.

Just look at his thread it is always quiet and the fact that this only 50 posts were written in there is a testament to that.

Anway, I hope Emerson can put in a good performance tonight, we need good competition at the WB positions.

Its always quiet because most fans choose to trash him every time he plays in the match thread.....even when he isnt the worst guy on the pitch.

That most probably has something to do with his awful decision making. Guys like Bakayoko, Cahill or even Pedro get much more slated.

Cahill's thread is nearly as empty as Moses to be honest.

 

Most threads these days are empty because the traffic is down massively on the site due to places like reddit killing traditional online forums.

Haha b2b would prob be the least fitting position for Alonso given his lack of pace.

left midfielder or left DLP however would be almost indistinguishable from lwb. Many players in the past made the switch from wing to middle as they lost pace.
