    Well, I’ve opened my gob after just two Premiership games, this may be the season of our lucky 7th top flight title.

    Amazing. Stan is obviously not on Barca or Reals advisory panel.

    He will suit those superior teams where he is surrounded.

    Back to title talk. Pls stop.
    4th may be overachievement for Sarri

    No

    We may not win the title.
    But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't aspire to.
    Our club won the league 15 months ago, if the team takes to Sarri's vision, and it is sound, there is no reason to think we cannot challenge.
    Even with Alonso and Cesc and all the other players who you disrespect with your bullshit every day.
    If anything stops us winning it will be how good City is, imo.

    It remains to be seen if Sarri knows his stuff in the PL, but if he does, why cant we challenge?

    Alonso to the rescue again this weekend, continuing to embarrass Stan ;)

    Won the pen and 'scored' the winner. Nice job Marco....

    Am I putting this ****er in my FFT or not? I put him in before the season kicked off then took him out because I wasn't sure he would play <grr>

    Another two assists against Bournemouth and should have scored too. Great player!

    I’ve had to wildcard to afford him. Such a goal threat for a defender!

    Time is well overdue for you to admit you really got it wrong. Alonso is immense.
    Do yourself a favour and admit it, or do nothing and accept you are forever a laughing stock. This from a friend.

    Another man of the match display from Alonso, assists and in Garth's team of the week 2nd week running. Though he keeps putting him in as a midfielder which is odd!

    Nobody argued about forward Alonso's ability. He can play over Pedro or Will any given day. Issue is Defender Alonso who is a liability.

    Not the point AT ALL. An attacking full back can sneak into positions that a wide forward would struggle to get into due to the oppositions defensive players being tasked to stop them more specifically.

    We've got a big striker problem at the moment so we need goals from other areas. If that means a full back chipping in, great.

    Attacking full back - Alonso is not.
    He doesn't have that engine to do Attack & Defend. Simples.

    Yet he is the leading player in both from that position in the Premiership.
