He should definitely get more playing time. There's no excuse for playing a soon to be 37 year old Barzagli, or a terminally injured and error prone Benatia over this guy. He's young, Italian, and incredibly promising. Isn't that what we want?! We want Italian talents, and yet we have one that we don't choose to play.
Time to slowly start phasing out Chiellini/Barzagli. As much as it pains it's time to move forward, and we'll only stall his progress keeping him mostly on the bench for the third season in a row. I want him to start at least 20 games in all competitions as he barely showed glaring weaknesses in his game with his limited appearances this season.
