Well he has had a big mistake in the Chievo game and a huge mistake that nearly led to a goal (when Tiago saved the ball).
Its not just the little support he gets, its also his form. He isn't at his best at the moment.

Indeed. He should have easily cleared with that header, he missed it completely; its ridiculous because he was winning most of the header against camelface too.

Chiellini is prone to mistakes specially when he loses he's focus. But he can improve in the future (he's still young). Rio ferdinand used to hold the record for scoring own goals (not really but pretty close) in he's days with west ham but he imporved alot with years....

Chiellini: Juve deserve second

Giorgio Chiellini, the Juventus defender, believes his side deserves to finish in second place this season.

The Bianconeri slipped to third place at the weekend after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Reggina.

We cannot win the Scudetto, also because Inter were favourites since the beginning of the season,” Chiellini said.

But until a month ago our season was very good. There are still five games to play and we will give 100 per cent to finish well.

“Our objective is second place, because over the course of the year we have deserved it more than Milan
,” he concluded.

Juventus can keep the piling the pressure on Milan by beating Lecce, who travel to Turin on Sunday.

goal.com is reporting Chiellini will likely miss the match this weekend.


Anyone know otherwise?
Chiellini: «I will play against Milan»
«The recovery programme foresees my return to working with the team in the coming days to be in full force by Tuesday or Wednesday and therefore on the field against Milan. If there are no further problems I will be at the San Siro». The words of Giorgio Chiellini are comforting. The defender is aiming for the big match against the rossoneri but is no underestimating Sunday’s match against Lecce. Giorgio will not be there but the bianconeri must aim for the full points: «A match like the one against Milan has always a special taste but it is only right that my team-mates concentrate on the match against Lecce because it is very important for us to end this championship well. The words of the proprietors were significant and reflect the thought of each and every one of us because we want to do well independently from the place in the table we will achieve. Surely, we will try to win back the second place but what interests us most is ending the season well».

Giorgio then tries to explain the reasons behind the difficulties encountered by Juventus in the last period: «I think there are a number of reasons: we hoped we could fight for the scudetto and reach the Coppa Italia final. Perhaps having missed our first objective after the matches against Chievo and Genoa, it was hard to get back to the mentality which has always accompanied us and perhaps against Lazio we paid the price for the negative period. Getting back is always difficult even because we saw our primary objectives vanish quite suddenly: first the Champions League, then the championship and then the Coppa Italia. However now we really want to get back, because we at Juventus are not used to not winning for a month. We want to react, for ourselves, for the supporters and for the club».

Chiellini’s last thought is dedicated to the supporters’ unhappiness: «It is normal that they show they’re disappointment but we are the first to be disappointed. We can promise the maximum effort to end the season well and reach the second place and to start off in a better way next season».
