I saw many people saying he is the most overrated player at the club BUT the one who works the hardest is often only notice when they missing, and clearly ever since that last game Alonso plays against Derby, we are clearly missing somebody ain't we?
Mascherano runs side to side alot, trying to win the ball, Gerrard moves forward all the time. When Alonso sits back, viewers think he is lazy doesn't do much, truth is he is reading the game all the time. He intercepts balls being play to the opposition strikers, takes a look up field and hit a 60 yards pass to the forwards, he links the defence and attack together, everything goes thru him. And he is our only midfielder that can have a good partnership with all of our other midfielders, he bring the best out of them. | |

I agree that he is pretty underrated.... I also realised that Uncle Ben like to kill off the excellence form of the strikers by benching them or not starting them up and instead chooses to use those who had not hit the peak of the form. While it take times for them to pick up their forms, those who are on the peak would find themsleves going down without much chance to play.
Also he would need to get rid of the deadwood players who do nothing but collect salaries to stay injuried when he should be helping the team. (No i am not saying xabi.)
