    As I was saying MENTAL to bench him

    I wonder are people aware that VVd is out for the next couple of months, I wouldn't go near a Southampton defender with him not playing

    Costa header initially which cech parried and Alonso heads in from there

    I wouldn't think Costa gets an assist there since it last touched Cech?

    I have Costa so hope I'm wrong

    EDIT: It's been given!

    Alonso to rose on wildcard continues to sting

    Alonso is killing me. Though I'd Luiz on Tuesday. Still annoying.

    Also, no sympathy for those benching Alonso. That just seems silly to me. You have to play your expensive defenders at home IMO, especially one that's basically a winger.

    Can't say I wasn't tempted by an Alonso to Coleman but with the way he gets forward, he's a season keeper.

    With Pedro on my bench, it'll be a nervous 40-45 mins.

    Benched Alonso (sigh) but may yet be the right call.

    Not really. There are lots of solid defensive options this week that could give at least a CS return.Alonso offers plenty going forward but isn't the greatest defender in the game (rumours of a dropping a few weeks ago) and is up against the highest scoring midfielder available.
    It's only 27 minutes in and a lot can change yet.

    Costa shud have slipped Pedro in

    Pedro playing really well as are Chelsea in general
    Arsenal

    I'd have to disagree, he's the second highest points scoring DF this year.

    He's playing OOP and 6 goals/assists before todays game and Chelsea share the best defensive record in the league too meaning more points for Alonso.

    Even if they are at home vs Arsenal & Sanchez, you'd have to choose him even for his attacking threat
