		Alonso is comfortable in possession with the vision to spot passes and the ability to execute them.
		Alonso's speciality at Liverpool are no doubt his long range strikes, scoring twice from iniside his own half, from 65 yards in the 5-3 FA Cup win over Luton in January 2006 and also in a League game vs Newcastle in September 2006.
		Alonso lost his way a bit at Liverpool in the last season, his usually sublime passes were quite wayward, but hopefully he will return to his very best in the 2007-2008 season.

	YNWA.TV - by fans, for fans
		Alonso was born into football: the son of Miguel Angel (‘Periko’), a Spanish international who played for Barcelona, as well as Real Sociedad in their successive-title-winning side of the early 1980s, and who later coached the team (Xabi’s brother Mikel is still part of the senior squad at the Anoeta).
		Xabi, the most talented of all the Alonsos, was an early contender for Liverpool Player of the Season, before his campaign was thought to have been curtailed in the home game with Chelsea, when Frank Lampard’s clumsy late tackle resulted in a broken ankle.
		Alonso was mothballed for Champions League games, and it is a great testament to the club that it performed so well in the knock-out stages while he was absent.

	XABI ALONSO \| Liverpool FC \| AnfieldRed
		Xabi Alonso during his first season at the club was a midfielder with passing ability to die for, he had a flair so sadly missing in most of todays modern footballers, he also used to score a good few goals.
		Managed correctly Alonso has the ability to be a real star at Anfield, he also has the ability to score 10 plus goals a season,every season, goals badly needed.
		Xabi has been poor for a while, his form has been interupted by injuries however he needs to be given more starts along side a holding midfielder as he is always being asked to do this role when he is playing with gerrard.

		Xabi forms a deep midfield anchor with Momo Sissoko, linking the forwards with his precise passing, which has been a welcome change from the hopeful long balls of the Houllier era.
		Alonso had his ankle broken in a challenge from a Chelsea midfielder on New Year’s Day, but was able to return three months later, just in time to put in a brilliant performance in the Champions League match against Juventus in Turin.

	Goal.com - Liverpool - Xabi Alonso Adds Fuel To Spanish Rumours
		Xabi Alonso has refused to dismiss rumours linking him with a return to Spain while Atlético de Madrid coach Javier Aguirre admitted he was a fan.
		Some have speculated that Xabi would be keen on a return to his homeland to escape the squad competition posed by the likes of Gerrard and Mascherano at Anfield, but at Atletico Madrid, it's also tough for a midfielder to hold down a place.
		Whether Xabi would be happy to jump from the frying pan into the fire, or whether he'd opt instead for another Liga club, remains to be seen.

	Xabi Alonso - Off form for ages, no?
		However, if Alonso were the player we all thought he was a couple of years ago - and some of these points came up late last year, it's not just a result of injuries this season - he'd impose himself and dominate these games much more often.
		I like ALonso, he is a lovely player, but unless we get two creative genui in the attacking three, then we need a Gerrard to play the second defensive mid position.
		Alonso is a talented player who has done very little in two years and is quite easily replaceable in terms of being an effective piece of the Liverpool jigsaw.
