not gonna judge him, he's been good this season bar the last few games, I don't know if you consider that Chiellini "carrying him" or just the effect of being in a solid centre back partnership with a real centre back, not a Fullback playing out of position halfway through the game ala MDS, or a Lazio backup who joined the club the day before. No doubt Barza, Bon, and Chiellini would have delt with a makeshift back line better but im not gonna judge him based on the past few weeks
