As well we should. Yesterday we played Zappacosta as a left wingback, and while it's not his natural side and I really like Alonso, it was clear to see that an extra burst of pace (which Alonso lacks) is a huge asset on the flanks. Zappa played a terrific match, and through his pace he repeatedly got into good positions.
Sandro is strong, fast and skillful. And most of all he's tenacious. Again, I like Alonso. But having Sandro on that left flank would take our team to another level, especially in a 352. Hazard would find plenty of joy.

Jackson, u are SO on point with your post; precisely what I was just about to post - An extra burst of pace in that LWB position (just as we saw from Zappacosta) will do us a lot of good and will help us score more goals.

Jackson, I have to agree - I have been glass half empty about Zappacosta but he was brilliant last night.

We do write players off easily after only part way through the season. Number of stupid posts in Twitter about our new signings, people need to learn it takes a while for players to adapt to the premiership, even with an experienced wise head. For the younger foreign players it is even more difficult, not only because of playing in anew league and new team, but adapting to life in this country,

getting sandro in .
means we have four decent wingbacks in
right: moses zappacosta (dave if needed)
left: Alonso Sandro
but also means Alonso could play left centre back which i think he was originally bought for. which if u play 3 at the back, the players who plays right and left centre half to be player's that can also naturally fit in as a full back .

Looks like Man U after Sandro as well.
