I was surprised when he started today.

Credit where it’s due, He played well and scored a great goal.

What a great goal.  Deserves full credit, and not to take away from that, but he has that in his locker.  Doesn't score many tap ins, and has some great goals we can look back on.  For all his defensive concerns, we do tend to win more often when he plays!

Don't want to say I told you so, but I definitely told you so.

He’s still a terrible left back but a fine wing back. His performance today doesn’t surprise me, I just hope to god that he never play as a left back again.

He's got Ivanovic vibes about him when it comes to getting goals. Ivanovic used to score about 5/6 goals a season as a fullback it was mad, 

That control and volley was sublime, he's got that stuff in his locker. That chance Chilwell had against Wolves, Alonso would've put that away.

The darkest of humour

Wasn’t sure about playing the back 3 against Burnley at home but it really does get the best out of a lot of our players Alonso included whilst a poor left back he’s a very good wing back and always a goal threat, took his goal lovely showed timo and the forwards how it’s donez 

Alonso has proved time and time again he is a good wing back but a sh*te full back. If he is played as a full back and makes an arse of it then the criticism  is more  on the manager than the player. 

He was frozen our under Lampard and his Chelsea career looked over but clean slate and second chance for him now. If Tuchel sticks with three at back approach then he will be getting a lot more game time.

Best position for Alonso is wing back. And I know this is controversial but I would have him ahead of chilly (for now).

he always has a goal in him when he plays LWB plus he adds more advantage to defending dead balls with his height

As a wing back I would have him over Chilwell, I think Chilwell has been piss poor since his injury and has turned into a slightly better version of Emerson. 

Back 3, we should stick with playing Alonso. 

Leicester pissing themselves for the fee they got for Chilwell...No better than what we had ffs

Well he definitely is.. was fantastic until he got injured. Moron if you think Emerson or Alonso come close in a back 4.

Strongly disagree. 

At least we get to see his fantastic free kicks again hopefully. Id say he's the best free kick taker iv'e seen for Chelsea in my life time.

What I have seen of Chilwell of late reminds me of why I never wanted him in the first place. He starts the season well, but is bang average throughout the rest of it.

Chillwell is a pussie,, one footed .. dont tackle.. and injury prone... daves a better left back .. you moron  lol

Wouldn’t surprise me if we’re all slating him in a few weeks time.

Chilly has his work cut out to oust a re-juvenated Alonso, he has clicked a good understanding with Werner down the left

I don't think Alonso was great tonight in the second half. He gave the ball away a lot, which put us under a bit of pressure at times. But yes his interplay with Werner looked good in the first half, and as a wingback he is ahead of Chilwell at the moment. Still, I don't think he's untouchable for TT at the moment.

Chilwell is not average LWB he's a good LB. Alonso is world class wing back and average LB  that's the  big difference with him and Chilwell, so unless Chilwell can guarantee you 5 to 6 goals ( and Alonso goals are normally big goals) he's definitely struggling getting back ahead of Alonso.

Lampard let his pride banish Alonso who probably would have helped him

A bit harsh to say it's because of his pride, Lampard was playing a 4-3-3 only, part from maybe 1 game this season? In that formation Chilwell is the first in line for the LB...

Alonso movement in the final third is up there with the best strikers

As much as i still miss Lamps, it was criminal to banish Alonso. At the very least he is better than Emerson. And in our last title win, and under Sarri he was phenomenonal in a back 5.

Alonso is a great LWB, he's not worldclass. It's the way he plays the role that sets him apart from the typical wingbacks.
