So Jersey number 12 has been collected from Mikel and given to Kennedy.

Mehn, Mikel is gone o.

Chelseafan1:
Baba ibeji, rejoice with your boy.

Chelseafc dey do me good lately.

Emaprince:
Another good news. Conte is doing very well.

We need kennedy so much.. I want him to impress Conte so he can take that LWB position from Alonso. Apart from crosses, Alonso na waste of space. We need somebody that can dribble and take on defenders.

With Hazard infront, that wing will be fire!!!

Alonso is a good player. He's playing in a team that has the likes of Willian/Pedro/Fabregas on the bench and to me he has done well. Its not just taking on ppl, he defends reasonably well better than Cahill and he also has the height advantage and presence during set pieces.

Cut the dude some slack.

lies.. Kennedy is not better than Kennedy biko

Of course. I agree. Otherwise, that would be very incredible to explain, wouldn't it?

bigkesh:
Kennedy is like 3x the LWB Alonso is

Kennedy is basically another Moses...This is a guy that never had a bad game at LB in a 4 man defence


Speed,Power,Dribbles, Crosses,Shots.....Abeg Kennedy is destined for that role

CFCman:
It's unbelievable that only one opposition player has scored against Chelsea in 990 minutes of football of premier league footie!
We could extend the streak to 1000 minutes against Bournemouth.

And CFC are 3 matches away from equaling Arsenal's 14-match winning run which straddled the 01/02 and 02/03 seasons.

lordfalcao:
I tire ooo, they think he is wack and conte wouldn't have sent his ass to the bench.. Kennedy can't offer what Alonso is offering at the moment

Ibime:
Kenedy can offer similar to Moses on the other side but in terms of intelligence, combination plays and delivery, Alonso is ahead of them.

His drawback is lack of pace mostly, but he is doing well otherwise IMO. Every game, he is involved in key passes, chances or attempts on target. He reminds me of Graeme Le Saux in his slow-looking but methodical approach to creating chances.

Either style of playing (Kenedy or Alonso) achieves results, but peeps should also watch the game with seasoned eyes. Alonso has his own way of making things happen without being explosive like Moses or Kenedy.

Kennedy another moses??.
Kennedy can't offer what Alonso offers both defensively and Offensively..

Ibime:
Bournemouth is the perfect game for Costa to be suspended because they don't park the bus so we'll get enough chances regardless.

As for Kante being suspended, I would play Chalobah. I might play 3-5-2 with Fabregas as AM, but regardless I would play Chalobah.

nateevs:
Balanced POV. I am yet to see this extreme awfulness that people refer to when they talk about Alonso. In my opinion, I see a very effective player. His technique, positioning/awareness, delivery and aerial presence are key points of his game. Add to that, the fact that he understands his role very well. I think he has done well so far.

I don't believe that Kennedy is better, Kennedy is just a kind of different player - an option.

Even the Diego Laxalt we are being linked is not necessarily better than both.

bigkesh:
Alonso is quite dangerous when he has time and space,something which our league doesn't give a lot of

85% of the times we have lost possession in our half when the opposition players press us is as a result of Cahill,Matic and Alonso's slow thinking and poor skill

Defensively....99% of the wingers here are explosive and that's explains why Alonso has been washed and rinsed by almost any winger he has faced.... Whether its skill or pace,he always seem to have no answer

He has a sweet left foot with a good accuracy.. That's all

I remember Alonso being a disaster in a 4 man defence against Leicester, Kennedy played that quite well against a team like PSG.....His defensive game isn't bad at all

Whether na defence or attack,Kennedy na upgrade

bigkesh:
Seriously??
Am forced to ask if you have seen Kennedy play?

Ibime:
We've only conceded 2 goals since Alonso entered the team, and we washed Leicester 3-0 playing a 3-4-3, not 4-4-2 so I'm not sure what game you were watching.

The winger I have seen wash Alonso was Dusan Tadic, not even by pace but he was making him dance skelewu using some feints. That side of the team is set up so there are few one-on-ones. Either Matic or Cahill ensure that Alonso is never on his own, and when he is on his own, he shows them inside into traffic. Alonso is doing well abeg.[/b]He works very well in team situation to amplify his strengths. Reminds me of how Gary Neville and Beckham used to work together to be effective despite neither of them having any pace.

[b]Right now, Alonso is more involved in attacking moments than Moses. Not by pace, not by explosiveness but by intelligent runs and one-twos. I'm not saying we can't upgrade, however the dude is doing just fine.

Personally, Kennedy looks like an upgrade on Alonso.
