Whatever watfords plan was didnt work though did it, The man being tageted helped with assists maybe they targeted him because now bare with me here its a big brain thought.......they knew he was a threat!??

No, they knew he is slow. And he didnt deal with the threat at all. We conceded a lot of chances from the left flank. Watford's wastefulness in attack makes no difference to Alonso's performance at the back.

Solution to Chilwell injury is to rotate Alonso with CHO. Play CHO in the important games.

Proved his worthlessness once more. Absolute cancer.

Nevermind the goal his poor defending cost us, 3 times he could have crossed to a better positioned team mate, 3 times he  shot into the stands

No choice but to continue playing him but I really wish LWB is addressed ASAP 

[Beigl 1,387]

He had his moments here, but he needs to go. He simply doesn´t cut it as a WB. He clearly lacks the pace and general athleticism for this role.

He had a strong game against Madrid. He works better pinned up front in a high press because he's not the one chasing back.

All he needs a time machine so someone could tell him he aint a RB/RWB, but a striker! would have made 3x as much too.

Looks like he’s off. Low key one of the best strikers of a ball in recent Chelsea history. He was pretty bad apart from that but was a pleasure seeing some of those goals and shots

Overall has been a very good servant. Was essential during the Conte era. If you rolled back the years I wouldn't mind keeping him, but he's over 30 now and slower, so probably time to move on to a slower league. His direct free-kicks were also always dangerous from that right-hand side, always seemed to hit the target or get close to it.

Ashley Cole left 8 years ago. After him we didn't have better player than Marcos Alonso on the left side.

Actually one of the best technical players on the squad, good luck to him!

Never understood why people hated him so much; yeah he had limitations but equally he had some top traits. For me he looks like he is off, if so I will wish him luck and thank him for his service.

The calls for Emerson to replace him were truly odd.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

He was a very frustrating player and I am glad to see the back of him. He scored a few nice goals but way too few to make up for his disruption of our play with his terrible positioning and lack of pace

Because he is extremely limited the rare goals do not make up for his limitation. There is a reason Conte tried to replace him immediately, his first year was his best in a Chelsea uniform.

Alonso gone...

 

[DDA 9,924]

Thank fuck. Nice one for the odd goal here and there but thank god this dinosaur of a player has gone. 

Slow, lethargic, headless and arrogant. 

Bye bye. 👋
