‘I look at Estevao, e too good as player make e no play for dis team?’ Redknapp ask. ‘E be incredible talent, but how you go put am for team when you get Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro? Na dis kind problems e suppose solve.’
Estevao don struggle well well to get regular minutes under Alonso strict system.
Di highly rated attacker don play only 23 minutes dis season, with just four substitute appearances for di final minutes of league matches.
Alonso clear preference for system with three centre-backs don limit chances for traditional wingers.
Pedro Neto currently dey play as right wing-back, while Pep Chavarria and Jorrel Hato dey share di tough defensive work for di opposite flank.
For central attack, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers don firmly become di coach indisputable choices.
