Marcos Alonso

[lucio 5,418]

he's probably Sarri's smoking buddy and they are getting pumped up on cigarettes together ,

[whats happening 1,525]

i dont think i ever hated a player like i hate him. worst thing is that is not even entirely his fault.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,159]

Oh Marcos... i dont even know what to say anymore...

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

Well and truly getting the Ivanovic treatment. And deservedly so after a performance like that. 

[Arlen Correa 161]

He's got skills. But is a pick-up game player imo. First goal he waited until the last second in their free kick to abandon his position and was pointing to Hazard to mark Silva, while giving his back to the playing and walking casually to the center of the box.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

He should be in prison after today's performance...

[DDA 9,690]

It's simple, he just isn't Chelsea material, he is mid-table material at best, oh wait!!!!

[Jase 43,479]

5 hours later and I'm still wondering what got into Alonso's dead brain to defend so narrowly for this free kick!

Left back has to be a priority in the summer, ten years ago i would have been able to suggest loads of options but i don't follow football outside the big 6 enough these days, someone in the mould of Robertsen at Liverpool would elevate our attacking play.

I will be incandescent if we sign no LB this summer but as for right now we have to lump the fact Alonso will carry on playing because the alternative is worse, sadly.

[Special Juan 27,429]

He has just signed a new contract, he isn't going anywhere, and this where the club have no fucking clue what so ever.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Alonso and his poor decision making. Hazard is available in the open space and yet he decides to play a wasteful cross in the central zone

[Special Juan 27,429]

He is absolute shite of the highest order. Another mediocre player who is way out of his depth.

[Vesper 28,861]

Marcos Alonso showed he's simply not good enough for Chelsea in one moment v Man City

Chelsea are facing yet another crisis following Sunday's 6-0 defeat away to Manchester City.

Losing by a six-goal margin meant the Blues lost ground in the race for the top four and dropped below Manchester United and Arsenal into sixth.

Maurizio Sarri's role as manager is now under threat, too, and a lot of the players have been accused of not being good enough.

Individual mistakes plagued Chelsea's display at the Etihad Stadium as Marcos Alonso, Ross Barkley, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Cesar Azpilicueta all made errors leading to goals.

Alonso failed to track Bernardo Silva for City's opener, Barkley headed the ball straight to Sergio Aguero for his second of the game and Kepa should have gone better for Ilkay Gundogan's strike.

That is just so shocking to see. Sarri's football is all about creating spaces and then making those type of thru balls.

Why does Sarri does keep choosing this fucker? Is Emerson really even more shite in his books? Then why didn't he tell the board to buy a new left-back in January? Honestly, if he prefers Alonso solely because of his height then please play David Luiz as LB, at least he has the vision and skill to make that pass

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

We are a 5th place club personal wise. That is just more proof of it. Lack of technical ability and understanding. 

You can moan all you want but the clubs (bar Arseanl) ahead of us have superior players. 

[El P. 1,354]

I am sad when I read that someone thinks that he was the best LWB/LB in the league in season 2016/17.

No, he wasn't. He just had great season, but it was more a result of great circumstances for him, not because of his qualities.

Through history a lot of shitty players had great seasons. We all know Kalou and Bertrand won f*cking UCL as starters in final. Same shit here.

Shallow perception of football is one of the big things that are holding us down. He needed to be replaced long time ago. Conte knew that, hence he pursued Sandro for two seasons straight.

Be sad all you want... just please don't try to rewrite history.

All players perform well in a team because of the circumstances the system provides them with. The whole reiterated point made by Eden's fans is that he will do better in a better system. No player does "great" (your word) without qualities.

Terrible comparison there too. You are comparing a player (Alonso) who had MoTM performances against tough opposition, played most if not all games in our winning season, had a record of goals and plenty of assists to show for it, to subs and fringe players who played little (kalou a bit more).

Like I said, let’s not rewrite history. He's actually started well under sarri, see manager's comments on him. And is playing very poorly, but it is NOT his fault Chelsea has no alternative to an underperforming player.

Alonso showed terrible decision making in the first goal, but I was also unhappy with Eden's nonchalant approach there - he was markiing noone. Alonso shouldn't have to tell hazard to mark the wide player.

Watch now how a few players not running for the manager will make even the good players look bad.  

In my TV City scored just as easily with Emerson on the pitch.
