Marcos Alonso

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Can’t believe anyone is still defending this fraud 

[Alabama 1,992]

Just get this fraud outta this club...

Alonso is terrible...

[chelsea_4_eva 1,161]

Yeah we really need a backup, we cannot afford to play Alonso game in game out. 

[NikkiCFC 8,061]

He created sitter for CHO. Didn't cost as a goal. We still had many chances. 24 attempts. Should not take corners over James and Ziyech. For what are you blaming him? 

I liked Pulisic as wing back so I expect him to start there but on LWB, keep Reece on the right.

Offered more than most against watford, helped with assits, Getting a lot of very harsh criticism.

Alonso is a lot of peoples scapegoat. He gets criticism regardless of his performance or whether prior to his return he had been injured.

 Teams are targeting him regularly now.

Not really. Did well for the goals but Watford targeted him for a reason. WB is a tiring position - Alonso should be rotated + kept away from big games.

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!??

What is your solution with Chilwell out? Play CHO there? I ask because if we do then teams are just going to target CHO as whilst he is quick, his defending isn't great.

Additionally, considering he was targeted, shouldn't Alonso get credit for dealing with it reasonably considering the pressure he was put under?

Agree. CHO has been our most dangerous winger recently.. It would be quite a shame to make him play wingback, not to speak about his defensive skills. Alonso or Dave are better options IMO, let Callum play in his natural position.

I don't really get this. 

Look at the positions Alonso gets in and you'd make a case that CHO can be effective in those areas too. Alonso has never been great defensively nor positionally. Just a body for set pieces really his only defensive trait. Rudiger and Kante/Kovacic make up for Alonso's lack of pace and defensive awareness. 

Dave at LWB is just comical and will negate our left flank even more. Either recall Maatsen and have he and Alonso as our options or CHO and Alonso moving forward.

I would play Ziyech at LWB ahead of Alonso.

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. 

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

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

[Strike 7,263]

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