Reus goal because of Chiellini slip. Ronaldo first goal in big part because Chiellini and Pirlo were ball-watching instead of staying with the open man in the box. And obvious clumsy challenge to give away penalty. He was pretty much the cause of all three of our knockout round goals against.
He may have been a top 3 CB in Europe a couple years ago, but certainly not this year.
He was. And he was flawless against Dortmund after falling over to give up the goal. But Boumsong was notorious for doing that: playing an excellent 80-85 minutes only to look a fool for the few that cost us dearly.
A few years ago, oddly a lot of the English media jumped late on the Pirlo bandwagon. They seem to be doing so with Chiellini now, years after he deserved to get this recognition but was largely ignored at the time.

This is definitely a blessing in disguise for me.
For this kind of opponent where u'd be facing up 3 players who rely on their technical attributes more than anything else,its not necessary we need a strong physical CB like Chiello to combat their threat.
We need CB's who read the game better,track their runs and make timely interceptions and we have the personnel for it already.
