Chiellini I wouldn't say is dumb, he's a bit clumsy at times but he's still one of the best in the world in his position. The errors we see are just a lack of concentration, and I think it's down to how easily we beat people in Italy and how naive our players and coach are in Europe.

It's frustrating really, we have to see something different next year but to miss a final in our own stadium really is gutting
He's clumsy most of the time and that's a huge handicap. His physicality works in Italy but his clumsiness and aggressiveness cost us expensive in Europe. Not just this year, but back in 2009 too.
We all love him, but if we have someone like him in our defense, we must compensate it with brains next to him, not with Caceres and Bonucci.

He can't be real.
Yup, read his post- match comments:

Benfica obstructed us at every turn and the referee allowed them to do it.
He gave six minutes of stoppages when we were already three in without playing, so it took us for a ride,” said Conte of English referee Mark Clattenburg.

In the first leg there was a red card and penalty for the elbow on Chiellini, while tonight there was an obvious penalty not given. The team that least deserved it went through.

down to 10 men they stopped us playing and I am truly disappointed the referee allowed them to get away with that

He worked fantastic with Barzagli, but Barzagli isn't exactly mr pace...

We could do with hummels, lamela, Sanchez and mandzukic this summer. Sell Pogba for 70

Well his right about stoppage time but even if we had another 90 minutes we were not gonna break benfica down. Lol at the first leg reference, makes you wonder if conte prepares these speeches at half time
