Just read a comment, sorry can't remember who it was from but it said Emerson was good when he came on, he should start ahead of Alonso. I've honestly had enough of everyone hating on Alonso and preferring Emerson. He only played 5 mins! How can you say he deserves to start off that performance.
He didn’t do anything special all I remember was him miss placing an easy pass. I agree we should give Emerson a chance but I'm sticking with Alonso as he has been good all season, a few mistakes by never the less, good. Until his form drops massively and Emerson actually impressed me I’ll always say the same thing.
It seems as though fans just don’t like Alonso and want anyone to start above him. Remember the Liverpool game? Emerson was dreadful, always out of position. Then the next week we played them again with Alonso and he was a lot better.

Wow. Do you actually rate Alonso as a left back? I think a lot of fans overlook his inability in defence due to his scoring ratio. Let's not forget he wasn't signed to be a striker. Most of times he is in a no.9 position and is constantly out of position.

Emerson v alonso is one that rumbles on. Emerson does alonso on pace but Emerson dives in. I think Emerson will take over eventually. I don’t think alonso has been consistent this season. However I read he has hit the woodwork more than anyone else this season, 5 times. Funny how fickle we are. Those five go in and suddenly nobody is questioning alonso selection.
Funny how 6 inches makes someone a bad player.

Not saying he deserves a go after 5 minutes we’re saying for the last few 5/ 6 games alonso has been Terrible end of look at the game play.

I judge defenders on defending and not goals. Whether he’s hit the post 5 times or so is irrelevant if he can’t defend.

Omg. Did I just read someone judge on Alonso on posts? Even if he had scored 5 that doesn't cover the cracks in his defending as a left back. Nicely said Kante.

But he hasn’t been terrible. He’s been decent some games he’s not been great but neither has our whole team. Some games Azpi hasn’t been good but no one wants zappacosta to replace him? Emerson has looked decen. in the Europa league. Calm down everyone. I admit he should have a chance in the prem but if Alonso is playing good football and playing wellagainst the big prem mins why replace him with someone just because they looked good against Vidi.
