Yeah it seems like Bonucci and Chiellini really struggled given their age. They’re very easy to beat with pace, especially with how high the wingbacks get. Imo if you’re playing with Chiellini on the left side you’ve gotta make sure your LWB is super disciplined and doesn’t push up as aggressively as the one on the right - especially when we’re playing such an offensive formation.
I’m also concerned about when De Ligt comes back, where does he slot in? Realistically Bonucci won’t likely lose his spot given his ability in possession, but then do you end up with De Ligt on the left hand side?
I do wonder if Pirlo experiments with Sandro as a LCB. He’s strong, good on the ball, but seems to offer less going forward than he used to. Sandro- De Ligt - Danilo?
