In his defense, it did look like Bonucci and Evra were caught out of position which forced Chiellini to try to cover too much space/players but should have done much better.

He will do more in this because we are under more direct and numerical pressure and it is a faster and more open type of football than what he is used to. Chiellini is just not as good when he doesn't have someone to directly battle against, never has been. Who was the CF for Gladbach today? They didn't have one, so he had to move and chase trickier opponents. Put a CF on him and he eats them up.

Too bad this is 2015 and defenders evolved.
