Caught Offside: Xabi Alonso is Out, Michael Carrick is In & Liam Rosenior is Aging Men

It may have made sense on paper but in the end, Xabi Alonso was just not the right fit at Real Madrid. How much of it was his fault and how much of it were just the pitfalls of trying to coach a squad loaded with massive egos? Then, we'll get into Manchester United's decision to hire Michael Carrick as their head coach for the remainder of the season. He may be a familiar face but is he the right face? We'll discuss.

Plus, Semenyo and Cherki lead City to a first leg win over Newcastle while Arsenal manage to overcome the "Aging Men" of Liam Rosenior's Chelsea in their first leg.

And finally, Timo Werner is coming to MLS, Conor Gallagher is headed to Spurs and the Africa Cup of Nations has a final that will hopefully be better than the two semis.
