Like what the ruck is going on here? That's Bonucci behind Danilo

 

[Bjerknes]

Poor awareness. When he played with Barzagli and Chiellini he had no choice but to sit his ass in the middle and just clean up loose balls like a sweeper. A back four or hybrid system is just too complicated for this dunce who was never a good defender to begin with.

If only we could re-sell him to Milan

 

[K.O.]

I genuinely hoped he never finds his contact lenses and get subbed off.

The sad part is that he is going to continue to start ahead of those that should start.

this is on Pirlo, then. Why he keeps playing the weakest link in the defense is beyond me

ok we are talking about Bonucci here, because he is shit and thats okay, but just look at how positioned is this teamit looks like a complete mess. Also shows ho exposed the left side is.

Pirlo's tactics in a nutshell.
Shape, form, marking, tactical awareness is non-existent.
Also look how far centrally Ramsey is and what kind of space hackimi has (a crucial player for them). He pushes a little forward and that play becomes 2 vs 1 vs frabotta who is in no man's land.

Also its such a easy passy to make, there is so much space. This just shows how unprepared we were for the game, because this is basically Inters game plan - from the defence they either send a long ball to their attacker or pass it to the Wing back. Fucking Shakhtar learned how to defend it.

 

[Suns]

I hope Pirlo uses this opportunity to drop Bonucci for good. He's so awful. Demiral needs a bigger role and Chiellini can step in as the veteran whenever needed.

 

[Juve92]

Terrible, but so was the rest of the team..

Insane... rookie defending.

 

[Bianconero81]

So, we all agree (those of us who aren't blind or oblivious at least) that he's a bad defender. However where is the passing ability, attacking set pieces, and all that shit he's purportedly good at? Haven't seen it for a while now. In fact, the young Inter defender Bastoni was the one who ended up making a pass that even Bonucci would be proud of.

That pass by Bastoni was impressive stuff. Truly excellent awareness.

As for Bonucci, I'm not going to defend him, but he's obviously not going to make similar passes in games like the one over the weekend. We were so incredibly stale, there are no runs, we never try to make use of what little space there is, etc. So where is he supposed to pass the ball exactly?

 

[Adrian]

Clearly best times are behind him...his best assets in that role were always his passing abilities...chiellini and barzagli made him look like much better than he ever was. I remember us all criticising the shit out of him in his first couple of seasons.

Has to be benched.

Back 4...sandro demiral MDL caudrado.

 

[JuvePerSempre10]

This is getting lame. He has pretty bad this season, yes. But I am sure that with a little bit more organization and cohesiveness he will improve and his weaknesses won't get exposed that much. De Ligt can handle himself because he is a beast 1v1 and an incredible athlete, but I can't think of many other defenders who wouldn't get exposed in our current setup. Besides, we don't even have a proper replacement. I am not counting on Chiellini and Demiral seems to have a reoccurring injury problem as well. So until we get a proper replacement he shouldn't go anywhere.

 

[Dostoevsky]

He's horrible at defending. The only way for him to improve would be playing 3 man defense with 2 amazing defenders next to him. That's the only way he'd get exposed less.

 

[Stevie]

I've honestly never hated a Juve player as much past or present.

Barzagli and Chiellini really gave him his career, but he's showed how much of fraud since those two aren't around to cover up his mistakes.

that's a good point actually. this doesn't change the fact that even with last year's setup, bonbon could only hold his good form until the busy calendar kicked in. so either you rest him (which we can't as we offloaded rugani and he wouldn't perform anyway, and demiral + chiellini are basically always injured), or you'll get his ups and downs.
