Picked for his height and experience my ass.His experience of constantly being run past. The height argument is just as clueless as when Mourinho kept selecting poor old Iva.

Not that his height is of any use. He still lost every aerial duel and leicester had one free header after another on their fks.

I swear this picking a player based on height started from the second reign of Mourinho?

Absolute nonsense that managers would prioritize height for defensive situations even if it means sacrificing impetus in our attacks! How could Tuchel think that having Alonso and Azpi as our wing backs would be great for our attack?

I could understand his way of thinking if Leicester had ginormous players in their team but they haven't... Ndidi being the exception.

N'didi is 1,81.

fofana, evans and soyüncu are all around 6'2 but alonso is no good in aerial defence either so why bother

Even if they did, I always still find it ridiculous. You don't see Guardiola suddenly start playing tall players against teams like Burnley, West Brom etc, do you? It's not as if Chilwell is weak, a dwarf and terrible at defending set pieces/crosses either!

And once you start tweaking your line up, the magic disappears. We should be focusing on our own game and not paying so much respect to minnows.

Tbf that is just how a low body fat level looks like. No serious mass gain visible, just a favourable lighting angle. It is natural for guys with a high caloric turnover and fast metabolism to lean out a bit in summer. He will look just as scrawny  in his kit next season as he always does.

I prefer ottermode over bulking. Swimmers have best physiques for me. Pitt in Fight Club also. And it is more difficult to get it, you have to do a lot of cardio and nutrition is most important.

Depends on the amount of muscle you want to carry being this lean. Most guys with average genetics can’t support any meaningful muscle mass with body fat this low so just look like twigs in real life  and only good on camera . Otter Mode really only looks asthetic on shorter men IMO whilst taller ones can pull off bear mode better. but from my personal experience it is probably healthiest and best for all year round performance to aim for 10-14% body fat and and weight of height in cm -100 give or take 3kgs depending on the size of your frame. 

also one should not  compare oneself too critically with actors or professional athletes who spent years with personal trainers, chefs and most likely peds  to achieve that look for just a specific timeframe. 
swimmers also have a wide range. Look at Ben proud, the 50m butteflier. He almost looks like a professional bodybuilder and is on serious gear whilst some swimmers physique like Ian thorpe’s every man can achieve easily. 
I have been doing fitness for 10 years. The Alonso look is probably what I had in year 2 but I admit he looks better there than i did bc he is a bit shorter than me and just so tan lol. I am white as chalk all year even after Caribbean vacation. 😅🙈

Inter is so stupid my man. 100m and Alonso rejected. 115m accepted. That first offer is like 140m.

They sure must biting themselves for this. 15m is indeed a really low valuation for Alonso.

His fitness advantage over all the international players really comes in clutch right now. he does not even look like moving in slow motion atm and reached a few balls that i previously would have thought are beyond him.

I know he was on good scoring runs before, but these were 2 of the best games I ever saw from him. On this form he surely is worth a lot more than 15m and given how slow Serie A is, he would set it ablaze on current form.

Really hope he manages to maintian this run for a long time before he inevitably reverts to his usual self.

Can’t fault his attitude and professionalism under Tuchel.

this prime alonso can compete in Seri A until 2-3 years later,,inter really mess with their chance to sign him....
