Alonslow is Sarri's first choice LB.... This is a problem. He will be crucified in the EPL against any fast player

Yeah, it's really worrying. Sarri doesn't seem to fancy Emerson. Alonso in a back 4 is so fucking risky. Something we may see on display today.

Not a chance. Aubameyang just needs to be consistently running in behind through Alonso's flank, Ozil will eventually find put him through on goal.

I think coaches are impressed with his shooting technique and freekicks and think he's a great technical player that should start.

My concern with Sarri is how well he will adapt to Premier League. Alonso as a left back could have been fine in Serie A but in higher tempo PL with lots of pacey wingers yes it is quite risky like you said.

Quick, give Chelsea armband to Cesc. Cesc is Chelsea captain. Awkward.

Looks like Alonso is first choice LB.

Is this Cescy as CDM?

See ya after the game maybe guys.

I am calm about Alonso starting, he has been the number 1 choice for the past two seasons. Sarri is going to give him an opportunity, it won't be long before he realizes what we all know about Alonso.

Or maybe Emerson just isn't actually that good and Alonso is the better player/lesser evil?

Where is Musonda?

Still would have thought he'd start Emerson in one or two preseason games to get a proper look at him before making that call. We've seen evidence of Alonso getting spanked for pace for the last couple of years. 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

No, no, obviously Alonso has Sarri naked picture. That's why he should play.
