Why the hell do other defenders pass the ball to him on our build up play,
and more importantly way does Conte allow this to happen?!!!!
He's absolutely ridiculous with the ball at his feet. Just leave that to other players for fvck's sake :sergio:
Bonucci came forward once and he was about to have an assist. He comes forward a lot and every time it feels like he has a better chance of launching a counter attack for the opponent than doing anything useful.

I agree it's really odd this season how Chiellini is always the one to carry the ball out from the back, but Bonucci is too good as the sweeper to jumble them around. We need to stop playing through him though

There's nothing odd about it.

The opposition know Chiellini is the worst on the ball so they allow him the space and try to close down Juve's passing option so it will go to him.

It's been a pretty obvious ploy from most teams ever since they realised just how good a passer Bonucci is and that they needed to try and limit his time on the ball.

He has become kind of disapointment. He lacks brains to really become anything resembling WC defender.
He doesn't think at all. I don't mind a player with no vision but at least learn the basic things you do in your daily practice.

Luckily he's a beast defensively or else he'd be worse than the goat Motta.

He's limiting our possesion play too much nowdays, every team knows this and does that he would have the ball more. It's funny though, how he looks so akward with the ball :D

He should stop trying to be regista, just stay at your side od the pitch and leave others to create.
So many soft long balls at the opponents chest, great for counter attacks, leaving Barza to handle all by himself.

Blame the coach, not him for that. He only takes the advantage of the space in front of him.
