What is Xabi Alonso...?
A deep lying playmaker or a box to box midfielder?
For me he is the former, what about you?
This question was inspired by Thuthuka who thinks everyone will agree he is box to box *facepalm*
Thuthuka. Box to box means you defend and attack, like the name says you run from box to box and typically have a lot of stamina! Now does Alonso cover any of the criteria to be box to box? No but he stays deep in midfield and dictates play while keeping defensively aware to give stability, exactly what a deep lying playmaker does, he is the perfect example of one now sit down and stop talking a load of crap!
Haha MJ I never even noticed he put that I couldn't even be bothered looking at any more of his crap, guess that sums up his understanding of positions :P
