It's really funny reading that some persons are criticising Alonso after the match against Osasuna. It's just one match, for crying out loud, and it's not as if they lost the match. I could remember last season when Mbappe didn't score in his first four or five matches and critics branded him a failure. However, he ended up being the highest scorer in the league. My point is, it's too early to criticise Alonso. He's a new coach, and he's still getting to know his players and the league.
I understand you are seeing it as been too early to start dishing out criticism but on a second taught we do not have to wait the whole season to state the obvious when we can even from the very beginning, for a club like Madrid the expectations are very high and this starts from the beginning of the season, do not forget their performance at the club world cup was not too good either. You never can tell, maybe early criticism as this could influence the teams performance moving forward.
Well I think it is too early to speculate whether Xabi Alonso would be worthy or not. Only one match can't predict the future of such legendary player, we can't deny how great Xabi were as a coach in Leverkusen, he was so great despite not having big combo player like now he have in Madrid And still he was unbeaten till last of the season. Currently Xabi alonso is experimenting with different kinds of tactics and player rotation and maybe after a few matches we will see the huge difference. After so many injuries real madrid defense line is getting quite weak, some player are delivering so bad performance and due to which the Xabi alonso is still facing trouble to handle situation. Now we don't need to be frustrated with Xabi alonso performance, we need to wait for a while until see his potential.
