I mean, you are talking as if what Sarri is doing is a godsend and our team is playing sexy football. Nope, not saying that at all. You are the one talking as if the Manager did X, things would've been better. I'm just pointing out that neither one of us know that. Quote Pedro and Willian are 30+ year old players. That have passed it. If the next manager doesn’t see that, then he won’t be lasting long either. It’s idiotic that you know these players aren’t good enough, but you persist playing them. Maybe Pedro would do better on a different system. But in a Sarriball system? It ain’t working. Maybe they are, but there are plenty of players playing at high level way past 30. It still does not make CHO a solution at this level. Once again, developing a player who may be committed to leave is not in our best interest. Quote And it will be Sarri’s downfall. How can Alonso be better than Emerson? I know you are going to say something like “trust the manager” but, that trust is gone for me. Alonso has been playing shite for a season and a half now. Throw in the towel. I've seen Alonso play Very well in the past and I've never seen Emerson play well. Again, lets not rewrite history, Alonso had MoTM performances in the recent past. Emerson? My point remains we know nothing of Emerson, but managers (2 so far) and coaches there seem to think Alonso is vastly superior, since Emerson barely even rotates. Which makes a manager trying to recover the player not that crazy to me. Quote Yes, it will surprise me. But if this said manager can work with Willian, Pedro and Alonso... and we have a solid system of us scoring goals and Alonso not getting exploited time after time...you’ll not here a word from me criticising the manager. In fact, he pulled off a miracle. These players are sought after by other big clubs. William has had good games recently. They are not as bad you make them. When the system is not working everything and everyone looks bad, throwing youngsters in the mix rarely works. Quote The what if scenario. Why do you want our potential future to play that awful? Are you a fan of Alonso or something? But let’s play your game. I’ll put my hands up and say I was wrong if these two turn out to be even more shit then Willian and Alonso. However, I don’t see this happening at all. Hardly a fan of Alonso (don't think I'm a fan of any player), just don't agree with the hate he gets around here. Us not seeing it in our heads can be very different from when things happen on the pitch. I'm sure some thought we'd defend better with a "proper" LB against Bournemouth, but then things were all the same. I'm not claiming that Alonso would've done better, I'm just questioning the *assumption* that Emerson is the better player without any evidence other than wishful thinking and a handful of games against the weakest opposition.
