Like I said, at the time of me saying it we had never lost with Alex in defence. First time we did was v Sassuolo.

And if you want to get really pedantic, and sure, let's, with Alex at the back we've conceded:

8 goals while he was on the pitch. 11 appearances. One defeat.

With Mexes on the pitch we've conceded:

5. 7 appearances. One defeat.

Basically they're almost exactly the same player, but Alex won't get sent off nor get involved with stupid spats with opposing players.

In essence, remove the crap from Mexes' game and make him even better in the air and you have Alex.

As for your Alex & Mexes theory (at least you've removed the atrocious Rami from the equation at last) I still say they're far too similar and it won't work. But I stand by the assertion that our best defensive display was v Lazio, and they are one of the best teams we've played this season. And that was Alex & Zapata.
