Just an "out-there" musing I had today.

Some have said that they'd play Luiz alongside Kante, and I'd be OK with that too. Obviously, he's currently not available for selection so I thought, we could play Alonso in there.

Gives us Emerson on the left, which most are happy with. Alonso can do the box to box and isn't afraid of a long shot either.

Just a different look at things from me.

Problem is we shouldn't be looking at trying to force squares into circle holes. We need to either have a feeling that Bakayoko will come good and look the £40 million player we thought we were getting, or go out and find a top quality midfielder who can compliment Kante.

Don't get me wrong, having squad players who can fill multiple roles is a must in modern day football, but it isn't the solution for filling a position of real need.

If we have to play a aging CB as CM then it shows how bad this club have messed up with young players and in transfer market.

That could be disastrous or chances are slim it could pay off. It's too risky- (playing a footballer [M. Alonso] into a CM role that he hasn't played-in ever before) against a very strong opponent like ManUnited; in an FA CUP final.

Dihanio M. Alonso could posses some CM qualities in his game but it would be too much of a risk bringing him into this game to play central midfield. Besides have you considered his work rate- cos midfield is very difficult to play.
