Gigi is worth 1000s Champions League anyways.

Freekicks for Erikson are like penalties, one of the world's best. The position of that freekick made it so difficult to predict and Chiellini should've known better, but Giorgio's not a UCL type of a player.

TBF to Buffon, the first goal, the offside trap fucked him up, Benatia or Sandro should have kept running and would have managed to block Kane maybe, but tv commentator said that Buffon should not have come out of goal. But watch the replay, the offside trap failure made the big difference.

No way you can blame Buffon for the first, he is the reason Kane was forced wide and at least had a chance of missing. Second goal is his mistake though.

Don't blame him for the first, he was left high and dry, second he could have done better, but it wasn't an simple save, free kick was in an awkward position and the wall fked him, still should have done better but it wasn't like he threw the ball in his own net

He should retire at the and of this season , otherwise he’ll ruin his reputation.

But we must not bench him , we should play till season ends .

He made it look a lot easier for Kane. I think if there's anything scezney is better at is coming out if his net. Poor performance but he was always going to be our first choice and rightly so.

This is Italy and Buffon is the captain.

Would be shock if he didnt start in these games.

But with these type of performances contract extension talks cant really happen.

His most glaring mistake was the free kick. Fair enuff.

The one on one with kane would have been difficult for any keeper as it could have gone wrong in a lot of situations. We are talking about the most inform striker in europe, so its the teams fault for letting him go alone against buff.

We all know age is getting to him, but today i would not blame him. He had even a great save against kane and stopped some dangerous long shots too

The blame should go solely to the way we played after the 2 0 and put everyone under pressure.

:agree: Don't understand blaming Buffon when the first goal was the result of some idiot giving the ball away, and the second because Chielini decided it was ok to wrestle an opponent on the edge of our area.

Sure Chiellini committed the foul, but Buffon made a meal out of that save. He should've trusted his wall (which he's regularly brilliant at setting up) to take care of the left side. Him taking a side step to the left screwed it all up for him. He's not agile enough anymore to make up for that error.
