Bad game from Bonucci tonight. He needs to get sharper, quickly.

He still had multiple long balls that were successful. Was terrible defensively though.

Bonucci could teach a class at Harvard on how to defend

I wish he was teaching last night

I still feel like bonuccis best performances came with BBC, in a 3 defender formation.
As one of 2 CBs he often has sloppy games

 

[Tak!]

Only saw highlights, but really nice pass to Berardi.

Lul.

Defense became worse when this guy replaced Sandro

 

[MikeM]

This guy is a retired footballer like Chiellini at this point.

 

[Alen]

Individually he's pretty good lately, but the defense with him as a leader became worse. Though I'm under impression that Bentancur's absence is a bigger reason why we started letting in more goals.

 

[Karim30]

Horrible game.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Our defence has become shakier as a unit since his return.

We looked better with Rugani ffs.

at least giorgio plays well when he's available. but yeah, this should be their last season. bummer about the lack of proper replacements though.

He was gassed after 15 mins

 

[Alen]

Horrible game.

Nope. He cleared and blocked everything (leader, by far, in both categories today). It was De Ligt who struggled in Empoli. Like I said tho, individually a very good performance, but the defense looks shaky with him as a leader. We look better when De Ligt plays the main role.

I believe my eyes more than out of context stats. He’s not fit and he’s to blame in the goals.

I checked the stats after I watched the game with my eyes, and the stats confirmed what I saw. He had a good game and a terrible game at the same time. Good because he won his duels, blocked the shots, cleared everything going his way, and even saved a certain (own)goal. Terrible because he was clearly supposed to organize the defense and it didn't work.

We agree to disagree

The ball fell right in front of him and he did nothing. He is a CB. It's his job to clear it if it's at his feet, simple as that.

Out of shape clearly. He was actually performing really good in the first part of the season, I think he'll be back to that because sitting back as we are playing now is what best suit him

His body is starting to break down. Not a shock, he’s soon to be 35 with a lot of tread on his tires since he used to be so durable. Need to find De Ligts long term partner ASAP, whether it’s someone we already own or not.
