Marcos Alonso>Ricardo Rodriguez

RR has higher successful take ons plus a better hair style. We are making the wrong choice here!!!

He is very underrated, even more because we are into him. If United or City were after him, he would be described as the next big thing on left back ... 

Did you see him play?

I would say that he is more suited to play 3 at the back than left back

Just keep Azpi at LB.

I've been thinking this for a while lol. Think we should just leave Azpi as a our #1 left-back, he's good enough both on the defence and attack despite being right-footed so I don't see a massive deal in that. Just get a right-back in now lmao.

Azpi is perfect to stay on the same flank as Eden anyway - Since we know the Belgian isn't the most defensive minded player lol. We should get a competent right back and remove Ivanovic in that way with Kante covering.

Dele Alli played for MK Dons and John Obi Mikel is playing for Chelsea ... playing for certain club doesn't make you a good or bad player !

It's because his name isn't Ricardo Rodriguez........

Watching him play right now vs Chievo. Looks like he is playing CB.

You mean Anelka and Gudjohnsen?

[AK-3001 286]

Just saw the second half. 

 

Alonso Was playing as an LCB in a 3-man defence formation. 3/4 Aerial duels won in the second half. Lost count of the interceptions and clearances, but did well and seems to be a no nonsense defender, clearing the ball whenever there was pressure. That could also be because he was playing LCB where the scope of dribbling and taking chances is low. Doesn't seem slow at all for someone of his height. 

 

Could be a very decent signing for us.

Yeah, he looks like a CB for me. He reminds me of Vertonghen so much it's not even funny.

What is Chelsea thinking there ? New CB or LB ?
