Tbf it was his cross to Giroud.

Touche haha. 

But honestly, his crossing in general is horrible. And like I mentioned, he rarely does it. 

[Special Juan 27,512]

Walking abut the field on Saturday, and still one of the most bog average players to have ever pulled on the CFC jersey.

Apart from the cross, he's partially to blame for the two goals.

As Wisey pointed out for the first goal we conceded, he showed no interest in tracking back to help out defense.

And for Southampton's second, he showed no interest in putting a challenge at the far post.

The FA will be doing us a favour giving Alonso a ban sell him in the summer he's not good enough to be wearing a Chelsea shirt

Marcos Alonso has been charged with violent conduct following an incident with Southampton's Shane Long, the Football Association has announced

This was the only way Emerson was going to get a sniff.

Who's to say he will? Conte has played Zappacosta at LB before

Not surprised by the decision but when you see some of the incidents - some even worse than this - the FA have allowed to slip by in the past, then this really is a farce.

Was coming.. Surprised wasn't seen at the time though!

I think Conte is picking Alonso week in week out for his contributions last year. A show of loyalty. Alonso probably sucks him off too.

Agreed. The amount of red card tackles I've seen on our players go unpunished... From Tottenham alone this year there were about 4. 

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

In the PFA team of the year, what a way to silence the haters he has here. Clearly underappreciated on here.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

 His reputation outside the club actually far exceeds him or the stark reality. The casuals only see the highlight plays such as the free-kicks and the odd goal he scores but they don't see just how basic and mediocre his game is. Just goes to show how few people actually watch matches before having an opinion on anything. Most casuals who have opinions on Chelsea players or on any other  teams' players excluding their own generally don't know what the fuck they're talking about. This is why I can't take such opinions seriously. Anyway, congratulations to the guy but its funny how one of our players that defines this new era of substandard quality makes the PFA team. 

[Miki-Liki 405]

LOL, what a joke. Apparently scoring a couple of goals from free kicks is enough to get awards and be seen as a great player.

The FA is trolling us.

Its because the amount of goals hes scored from his position. Cant be any other reason, hes a good player but team of the year maybe a bit much but in all fairness look at the top teams: Delph playing LB for City every week for months because of an injury to Mendy after like 3 weeks, Ben Davies for Spurs due to Rose's fitness, Ashley Young/Luke Shaw for United, Kolasinac or Monreal for Arsenal, Andy Robertson for Liverpool (I really think he should have been in contention though, as a Scotsman its great to see hes grown into one hell of a player, he played basically non professionally when he was 17/18 now hes playing CL football in the matter of like 6 seasons)... its hardly an outstanding pool of competition. At the likes of Southampton, Everton, West Ham who everyone probably expected to do quite well this season... the likes of Bertrand, Baines, Cresswell.. theyve hardly had good seasons I mean just look at the state of Southampton and West Hams defensive records as it stands.   

[Vesper 29,170]

The main reason he got this was because the overall state of Left Backs in the EPL this season was horrid.

Benjamin Mendy was injured and out for the year very early. 95% sure he would have won if not injured.

Man U and Man City mostly use backup MF's as makeshift LB's (Ashley Young and Fabian Delph, with Man U not playing Daley Blind)

Danny Rose was hurt for ages and shite when he came back for Spurs, his replacement, ben Davies is nothing special at all

Sead Kolasinac has been a semi bust at Arsenal, he barely starts anymore

All the rest left in the EPL are worse than those already listed

EXCEPT one

Andrew Robertson at Liverpool, who has been a revelation. One could make a case he should have won, but he didnt start much for the first part of the season.

We are on the exact same page.

Funny to see him of all players from our squad get selected. I'm sure Robertson would have been chosen had he been a starter all season.
