He was very good there. However, there have been some hints recently that he has had personal problems off the pitch. So, some of his form/confidence could be down to that also. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso is whole other level, but this guy is same level as Emerson and Zappacosta - players who we bought cheap and never became more than 3rd choices.

Sterling, Koulibaly and Cucu. I would sell all of them and just bring back Maatsen and Colwill. Fernando and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny now isnt it? And when Cucu was linked with us and City it was pages and pages of “Cucurella is a very good option” “he will displace Chilwell” “our depth at LB is best in the league” and whatever else OTT shit it would be. And now I see many of them same folk saying Cucurella is a dud signing…. shows how much they know. Alonso had his faults but at least you knew what you were getting most weeks. With Cucu its nearly impossible to expect anything reasonable. Barring that Dortmund game, he hasn’t done well but I think a proper coach will extract more out of him and a lot of others here (Sterling, Cucu, Chilwell, Kovacic, Mount if he stays, Felix if he stays, James etc). Whether he was ever going to be worth the moneys one thing but there is still a reasonable player in there with some coaching and development. ^ And was he really a Tuchel signing? As in one he pushed for specifically? I doubt it. He didn’t want to let Alonso go initially and the impression I am getting is Tuchel only let it happen when he knew he would be part of the deal for Aubamayang, who he specifically wanted.

But you're right, without Cucurella doing what he did, that option isn't there and no counter attack is available within the time frame it would have taken for the team as a unit to shift across to that side of the pitch. Unfortunately it's not a one off, it's pretty much an every game thing and his decision making and ill discipline has cost us a red card and a goal across the 2 legs which arguably have been the key moment in both games.
