Emerson Palmieri

[LAM09 7,043]

The fact he's been excluded from almost every (if not all) EPL match day squad is unbelievable. Sarri can't persist with Alonso & Azpi for the entire season.

Sarri doesnt wanna rotate.

He'll be experiencing more days like Saturday, then.

What was he on for like 5m? in that short time he showed more than Alonso did in 90m. Absolutely sick of Alonso.

remember Alonso was on the field, so Emerson had the freedom to go forward. Not saying Alonso is great but Sarri sees them in training.

This 'Manager X sees Player Y in training. So he knows better' argument is really getting tiresome and silly...

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

Sarri is smoking the crack pipe too much, if he really thinks Alonso is a top fullback than Sarri needs counseling and fast, maybe lay down the tainted tobbaco

Agreed. 

Just because these millionaire managers made it in a very competitive market, have the best assistants and coaches the money can buy, and spend all day watching these players in practice cannot possibly compare with the opinions of random folks in a forum. 

however, I do see how such a silly argument could become a deterrent for debates in a forum.  

With the false nine system, a more traditional LB like Emerson is useless. Who is he going to cross the ball to? One of our attacking midgets?

As opposed to a lb with  horrible positioning, bad tackling, no pace and who can only pass the ball back  to Hazard but scores a wondergoal every blue moon?

I dont think Emerson is going to change our team at all. Perhaps weaken it defensively, although we are already weak on the left side.

Emerson is a very good potential. Pacey, energetic, has a good left foot, exciting player. Just needs a bit of experience and playing time to improve tactially and in positional awareness, Remember this lad had only one full season in Roma before that horrible injury.

He could develop into a good full-back if he was trusted more, even when he makes a mistake here and there.

Unfortunately Alonso is seen as A. Cole mark II

Emerson is 24 years olx. Has beem playing professionally since 2011. Alonso may be shite but if Emerson is a prospect does that make Bakayoko a prospect? Not a chance. At 24 you should have more tactical understanding than what Emerson has unfortunately. That game against Derby and the Europa games he looked very naive at times. He may be worth a shot in the short run with Alonso's form but he wont be a key player here. 

A year at Roma 3 seasons ago doesnt change that.

Recommend you check Alonso’s stats on passing.  Not really going to discuss his passing, my choice.

Regarding the rest, consider that you cannot possibly be right about all of it. Because if you were right, then Alonso wouldn’t be playing for a top club and a top national team.

his positioning is fine. He’s caught out of place because he is an left midfield by role. Consider that he wouldn’t play if he were not following what the managers wanted would he? Quickest way to lose ones position.

appealing to logic here, but I know it’s a lost cause.

regarding Emerson, both conte and sarri are right: Alonso is twice the player.

As if Emerson is defensively weaker than Alonso.they are both equally shit. Alonso is taller so can help out aerially but Emerson is way quicker and can recover. 

Offensively however Imo Emersons technique and pace is way more valuable than the occasional free kick goal.

There are nunerous examples of absolute shite players playing regularly for top clubs and national  teams..esp when those have rather poor squads relative to their peaks and leftback is traditionally a position that does not have quality players in abundance.
