Do you think its just rest that he needs?
The guy looked horrible by all means, not just tired!
I think he's got to work on many things in he's game (confidence, flexibility....) He's great in certain areas and pretty poor in other areas.

He reminds me a bit of Rio ferdinand. Had a really average (below average at times) start in he's career but he had some qualities. Worked on he's weaknesses and became a better player.

There's not a single ball that Chiellini cleared in this tournament without clearing it wide and out of bounds out of stadium or you name it. That's not how you clear a ball, Giorgio.

He should seriously learn how to keep ball possession when needed and learn how to pass instead of tackling and clearing the ball in a horrible way.

Exactly, it's about using his goddamn head. It's not only about marking and shutting this player down, it's about keeping possession, helping midfielders, stop acting like a scared 6years old boy and each time you receive the ball shooting it wide out of the stadium.

Totally agreed with the views here, he is still very immature and that shows how bad we are at the moment as he is our best defender. The biggest highlight of learning he needs was in the 2nd goal i think where he foolishly ran behind Cannavaro while leaving the man next to him exposed, simply amateurish.

The fact that both him and Canna have the same defending style does not help but we will need them to work it out for next season or we're going no where.

Lets just hope they just didn't want to be there like the reports suggested and there is nothing to fear.

Saying that this tournie was a mickey mouse cups is a very poor excuse to back chiellini´s shitty performance. Is not like this was a tournie from a different dimension fo the one we are. He was shit and until something happens he will be shit in the start of the season evry likely.

He needs to improve definitely.
Cannavaro being better than him is not good.
