It's crazy has Alaba has stagnated as a player.
2-3 years ago, I would have taken him over Marcelo, but now, not only is Marcelo faaaaaaar superior in attacking, but Alaba is only slightly better than him defensively, so year, I'm choosing Marcelo.
Hopefully the second half of this game was a confidence boaster for Dembele with the winning goal and assist. his only question mark for me this season was not showing up in big games.
He wants to be a midfielder. BAD.
