Well, i told you that he is not ready to be a starter yet, after the finisher, our second priority should be a starter CB, esp if we keep the 3 man defence.

K I'm the last person to of thought I'd say this but the guy has done well after his fuck ups. He stepped up and prOved he has ability to become better. I agree the another cb should be bought but not priority. Striker then a LB preferably better the PDC but since fullback arnt exactly a position that has a lot to choose from a formitable back up atleast.
Seeing the goal replays (I didn't watch the match until there's less than 20 minutes left in the game), I'd say there were somewhat suspect decisions from him. Poor communication with Storari and Barzagli first goal. And in the second goal Bonucci got somewhat confused to me and made a bit late decision to close down Hamsik instead of Pandev (was it?), which is odd considering he knew Barzagli was in front of Pandev as he looked right to Barzagli right before Pandev was close to him. There's no point of double marking Pandev when there's only him and Barzagli; he played too deep to make an offside trap but got out of position to close down Pandev. Either you push up (to force the pass thus offside trap would stand) or mark the wide man but he got a bit of both and being outrunned in the process.
Too bad that after good run of performance from our defense, they ended the season with a mistake which cost us a Coppa.

'Horrible' is stretch.
Played some part in the penalty, but it was Storari's poor judgement that mainly caused the penalty, he had no business rushing out when Lavezzi was surrounded by 2 defenders. It was difficult for Lavezzi to shoot from there anyway.
2nd goal is definitely not his mistake, counter attack and he was trying to close down Pandev. If any, it's Caceres who should marked Hamsik.

I didn't mean to take the credit from Napoli forwards though, they indeed showed good determination and good runs but our defense just couldn't cope with it in critical situations.

Not a mistake, it's indeed a very difficult situation but I just thought he could do better.

everybody would play better with them, as he would be less exposed, to show his true value...
Anyway, since Conte likes the 3 man defence, we must have greater depth in CBs, Caceres and Bonucci will be reliable at 28. but we need one more at Barzagli level, esp for the CL semis, Chie wont be available.
