cfcs most wanted 657 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I was watching YouTube videos, cause I know nothing about him, didn't look too firm on the ball even in a video meant to praise him. Still it was just a 5 minute clip, I hope he turns out to be good, we definitely are in need of a better option than Alonso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 EMERSON PALMIERI’s move from Roma to Chelsea was the best deal of the January transfer window, according to super agent Federico Pastorello. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/915703/Chelsea-News-Emerson-Palmieri-Transfer-Agent-Federico-Pastorello Supermonkey92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he has scored a number of goals since joining us and some of them have been key to us winning but if we put them aside, what does he contribute? For someone who plays in a key position in the 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, his general contribution in open play is non existent. Can't win 1-on-1s because of his snail pace, link up play is average, hardly provides telling passes in final third when given the chance to do so. Has only 6 assists in 68 games for the club. Even Azpi has matched that number in the league alone this season! Not to mention, Alonso is hardly the most solid defenders around either. Can be caught napping at times and will definitely lose any foot race if he's being forced into one. I think it's the other way around: Alonso is described around here as a terrible player, who can't defend and can't attack. So, people like me are just saying he's actually a good (to very good) player, who can attack (unless scoring goals is not attacking) and can defend (unless winning several aerial headers in our box is not defending). I posted a video showcasing his long range passing and overall good technique in his thread a while back. If people think it's not consistent enough, or still not good enough, that's absolutely fair. Just denying his obvious and numerous attributes is silly in my eyes. Anyway, Palmieri looks good indeed.  (still need to consider the level of the opposition though) Barbara, Amblève., Tomo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 decent debut. One great assist and a couple of decent runs. looks a tidy player and not easily outpaced. Barcelona comes too early for him though. the wes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 He beat his man and got an assist. He now has equaled alonso chelsea total of beating a man. ja1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I think Telles would've been more impressive on the surface (more pace/stamina/action), but more of a liability (having nowhere near the game-reading intelligence Emerson has.) I think Alex Sandro would've been a peg below the level he's been for Juventus, it's just the nature of players who leave tight-knit clubs, and cost 4x that of Emerson; despite not being twice the player, nevermind 4x. One big thing I like about Emerson, which I liked about Ashley Cole, that I wanted more from Filipe Luis & many players since - is running into positions to produce, instead of taking part in a game of everyone being rooted where they stand, expecting miracle-passes to win the game. jernej93 and Alabama 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej93 569 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 He should be our starting LWB but Barcelona will come to soon I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 90 minutes vs Barcelona and I'd expect Emerson to create 2-3 goal scoring chances. Alonso, I'd expect at most 1 or 2. Defensively, who knows, considering Emerson's fitness and whatnot. But I'd play Emerson. Baptism of fire. Fully bleed him in instantly.

Alabama 1,992 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Who cares if Barcelona is too soon for him.... We are a big team... Enough of this small team siege mentality...we should be starting with our strongest options and take the game to Barcelona cos on paper they are the favourite...atleast he is pacy can create goal scoring opportunities make runs behind opposition defence and provide another treat down the left flank....anything bar fitness issue... I like throw him in against barca jernej93 and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Good game from him, it won't be long until Alonso is reduced to being a second-half substitute/free-kick merchant  Supermonkey92 and ja1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I hope he's slowly pushed into our starting XI. His mobility alone makes him a more adequate WB than Alonso the wes, ja1 and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 One match against Deadwood Hull and people are convinced. Chelsea fans have the board and signings they deserve because they are fast to worship mediocre players and even faster to blame the coach, board, and players themselves after a couple of bad displays... Let's play the guy against Barcelona!!! Seriously? nachikethas and Amblève. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's play the guy against Barcelona!!! Seriously? Nobody is worshipping him... His skill sets and style of play is what we have been missing in all the mediocre wingbacks we have... That has been one of our greatest undoing this season... Ability to do the basics as a wing back or pathetic snail Alonso who offers nothing than free kick... Who will u chose?...no point telling me Alonso is the better cos we know it's all going to end in tears... Whether he is gonna be a world beater I don't know and don't fucking care at this point....doing the basics as wing back is enough for me.... bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 We have no chance against Barcelona....Conte will go with the pragmatic approach and Barça will beat us....i picture the scenario similar to our game against City... So in my opinion anything bar fitness I will throw him in... Let's take the game to them... Enough of us getting outplayed by opponents in Stamford Bridge... He is one of the players I feel can keep the ball and at least offer some kind of threat down the left flank... Alonso offers Noooooothing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
