We missed Alonso tonight

[carheex]

Yep, there is no better match to show exactly what Chabbi does for the team. I know it goes unnoticed by a lot on here and those numpties won't even have contemplated that the fact Xabi was out contributed to our kick and rush performance but those of us who appreciate good football know exactly how big a difference Xabi would have made.

Good post.

here we go again....

Saying "Portugese Cheating ****" is like "Cheating Indian ****" etc etc. If you said that on the streets during a football match or something, you'd get the **** kicked out of you

By portugese or Indians?

by cheats?

I can't take you seriously. You have no clue about football.

Notice that when Alonso doesn't play a game, he's either horribly missed because our passing game was ****e or he should be sold as soon as possible because Mascherano was having a blinder.

There's never a middle ground.

true, he is quality and gets a lot of stick, a lot of which is unjustified. Thought we could have done with his passing instead of SG last night, who was abysmal in the game.

What makes you think he'd have done so much better than the rest of the team? His form over the last 18 months suggests you're clutching at straws. Think about - how is putting someone who's well out of form into a team that isn't playing well going to make any positive difference?

Can you tell me what, in his form over the last 18 months has been so bad ??

Is it the fact that he is always in the right spot at the right time, making the most amount of tackles in the squad for the last 2 or 3 years running ??

Or maybe it's the fact that his pass completion rate is the best in the entire squad ??

It could be that he is the best link man we've got from defence to attack and his off the ball movement is ****ing genius ??


Alonso is priceless to the reds. Just because he is not sticking 100% of his 40+ yard passes upfield, like he did against Tottenham a couple of years ago, he is now the worst CM in the squad... His, and the teams role, has evolved over the last couple of seasons, where we no longer need him to pump 40 yard balls because we play more of a pass and move game, in the mould of Arsenal, where we build from the back. I think he has been really good this season ...

Don't bother mate.

I'm at a loss with this Carheex guy. Alonso hardly ever has a bad game.

Elronds said it for me.

I agree, don't bother.
It must be annoying though - watching Alonso play week in and week out with a strange rosy tint around him...

Can I ask you an honest question ??

Who do you really support, cause you must be ****ing with us all ??

Well, it can't be liverpool if I don't think Alonso has been amazing for us for every minute he's been on the pitch for every match since he arrived can it?!

With honest/stupid questions like that, I'm beginning to think you're actually nic83 under a different name.
