Marcos Alonso

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Bertrand/Telles on deadline would be great but its never happening. 

Seems LB and striker will be priorities next windows unless Morata and Emerson step up big time.

Deserved a goal...

I can't see Chelsea sell him now especially when we can't replace him ATM 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I wouldnt disagree with trying him as striker haha. Actualy has decent movement and finish, often looks goal-thirsty aswell.

No I cant either. Cant see Emerson getting a look in any time soon neither. He will become Sarris Ivanovic

Look. Even the fuckin Star can see hes our weakness

Chelsea vs Arsenal: Ex-Gunner backs Unai Emery’s side to exploit weak Blues star

ARSENAL can bounce back from their Premier League opening day defeat by exploiting Chelsea’s weakness down the left.

. Bellerin most of the time, out of like 10 bad crosses he does, he'll do 1 good one.

I would like to see CHO start to have another go at Bellerin. Cant see Eden starting but the last 20 mins again.

I really want to get Kovacic getting some time too.

Yeah would not try to exploit azpi’s defensive weakness that’s for sure.

now the same could be said of every attacking fullback. RM Marcelo would be the perfect example as he can’t defend to save his life (way way worse than Alonso).

that does not hurt Madrid though. The system takes care of that or atshould - that’s why the manager also makes the big bucks.

Even the Dogs on the street know our weakness is Luiz and Alonso that will need fix in January or next season

Can't see it mate. Sarri likes them both.

I think Marcelo makes up for his weak defending with his world class open play attacking that Alonso cant dream of replicating. Take away set pieces from Alonso and he ain't contributing much to chelsea. But he's the best we got for now so we have to make do.

[Vesper 29,081]

Emerson, AC, and Kovacic, are really key players who need to step up and take the starting places from 3 inferior players, Alonso, Luiz, and Barkley (Barkley is only one who could come good). As for CHO, he is just going to have to scrap for playing time, as Sarri clearly thinks Willian and Pedro can still perform at an extremely high level.

I do not know why Sarri hasnt played Emerson more, as when he is fit and playing to potential I only rate Alaba, Alex Sandro, Marcelo, Mendy, Alba, and Lucas Hernandez as being clearly above him, with Telles on same level as he is.

Alonso and Luiz are massive defensive weaknesses.

Sorry guys I really disagree with the notion that he is best we have in that left back position...Emerson is clearly and million miles better than him...when the games start coming thick and fast whereby we play average of two games in a week....Sarri will see the massive weakness we have in Alonso...I pray he doesn't learn it the hard way...Premier league can be cruel and ruthless...soon teams will start targeting his side coupled with time bomb waiting to explode we have in Luiz...we are in for a race ride...

Honestly hope it doesn't come to that. It'll cost us points. I just don't know how Alonso has convinced Conte and Sarri that he's anywhere near better than our other options. Unless Emerson is really terrible in training.

Heh matter of opinion. For me Marcelo is very Overrated. He does well for real. Does not do a thing right for Brazil. One of those flashy players who look better than they are.

alonso is very underrated here. His contribution over 2 seasons is as clear as day to me. His stats show an important player for us regardless of style or preferences. Remove him from the team and 7 goals (plus a few assists) go poof. Can the other one make up for it? Maybe maybe not... not for me to decide.
