Alonso was missing for most of that time with a broken ankle so did he influence the side from the treatment room? Liverpool struggled into 5th place and I don´t think Alonso scored that many or had many assists.

Anyway this season is where he should be judged as its his 2nd season and i have watched Liverpools last 4 games and he has given the ball away loads, maybe you could blame the lack of movement and only having 1 up front which would also explain a lot of side and backward passes from him but I haven´t been impreesed with him.
