I m very sorry that you see it like that, if you were more worried about football and less than Bonucci looks, you would be more objective...
Quoted to show you that you can also attack people personally, when you lose it. And we have lost it. It's great to talk football, and whether you know it or not, I have always respected you even though I have barely involved in discussing things with you. Never called you a troll, never approved of people grouping up to mock you, never enjoyed tldr comments and gifs because go away if you don't want to read. I am totally aware that you love Juve and what you say is what you see, but as a friend, even if you see me a hater, an enemy, I don't like your way of seeing things. It's not about Bonucci or his looks, it's about you. You are never happy, you can't celebrate. This is reason enough for me to point it out. Perhaps you hadn't noticed but I had told you this before too, that it's worrying that nothing can make you happy.

As for people, even if I strongly disagree with the way they troll you, it's not a coincidence that the majority react similarly to your posts. It's partly a herd behavior, everyone is mocking him so am I, but instead of pointing your finger at them for not properly countering your arguments, have you ever asked yourself why they treat you this way? Whenever we are pissed about a bad result, you are there (at the wrong time) to remind us that you had seen it coming all along, that you knew, that time has now proven you right. Then, despite the glorious season the team had, even though you never expected them to do this well and achieve this much, even though you were wrong when dissing the board for most of their decisions at the beginning of the season, people expect you to be humble enough to admit it, you, who have always been there for us when the things hadn't worked well for the team, to remind us that "I had told you".

I love Juve and i want to see hewr improved.
Above everything else i criticise the investment and choices that are made on the defense.
With great consistence and great detail, i m talking about everything and everyone in the same way i talk about our defense.
Before Borriello arived in our team. I considered Bonucci to be our weakest link.
Everyone had the same suspicions about Bonucci, myself included. I thought he improved his game after the horrible game he had against Milan. For a young player like him who had been always subject to the fans' criticism, it was surprising to see how he reacted. He had some very good performances in our final run to win the Scudetto and he showed huge potential. Was one of the best players of the Azzurri in the Euros.

We were all worried about the defense before the season started. We ended up with the least conceded goals. The difference between you and the rest is that we were excited and happy to be proven wrong, you not much so. Even worse, you still claimed that you were right with your predictions.

If you were there and looking anything else but DP or Buffon looks,
Quoted to show you that you can also attack people personally, when you lose it.

you would notice that he was responsible for most of our mistakes in the defense and goals conceded.
I believe that this man make us weaker, most than any other player, so spare us the BS and stop feeding the trolls, like X, who always crave for a chance to defame me.
I doubt anyone sees him as a reliable defender, not yet. No player was criticized as much he was (perhaps except for Borriello), but others can give credit where credit is due. You can't.

I can't see the video.

BTW remind us how how many times Bonucci have performed a succesful sliding taclin this season?
Remember what i said when we signed Licht? Did i critised Barzagli this season?
A coincidence? From the 5 players of our defense i criticise Bonucci the most and from the other five its Borriello, in case you slipped my posts. And with great consistency, he has been our worst player on the pitch, another coincidence??
In case you slipped my POV, heres a reminder.
So did EVERYONE else. They can see the improvements too and it's sad that you can't.

Weren't you critical of a defense of Barzagli - Chiellini - Bonucci before the season started? Did you ever admit that you were wrong with your previous evaluations?

I believe that our midfield was one of the strongest midfields of the championship.
Adding to this our pro possession tactics and we have the reason why our defense was protected that well.
Conte gave a priority to this, thats why he changed the formation and tweaked with it so many times, but only after our weakest point, the defense, was stabilised. Feel free to watch the first ten game of the season again and focus on that.
The defense was our weakest point in the past 6-7 years, in case you didnt noticed, but for some strange reason, we are not investing there.
This is my main point of criticism on the transfer directors, not everything and everyone...
Do you not think that Conte can see these things at least as good as you? Why should he try to cover the defense with his tactics and not with the players he can ask the board to buy him?

Why should I focus on the first 6-7 games when everything was only about to click in a team with a new coach, new look, new players? We won the title and we had a very good defense. Of ocurse we'd all love to see our defense being strengthened even more but I personally try to fix the team's painfully obvious problems in attack, looking for someone who can finish the numerous chances we can create. The priority, imo, lies in where that functioned least: Juve need a goalscorer. It's probably a coincidence but the board and the coach seem to have similar concerns.

In this Euro, Italy have had one of the best midfields and again managed, like Juve to keep possession and control the game, protecting the defense good enough. Buffon's WC and Chiellinis presense protected Bonucci, in the rare occasions Bonucci was exposed. His confidense also helped of course and to his standards, he did well, but what if all that protection wasnt there and we had to rely on him?
Chiellini's presence? I'm crazy about him but he was responsible for most of the blunders in the Azzurri defense. Bonucci had an overall better tournament. If Chiellini's presence can make Bonucci perform better than Chiellini himself, I'd think perhaps we've established the argument on a false premise.

This is a probable situation, for both Juve and the NT, this is a situation i m worried about, this is the weakness i believe that our opponents may exploit and rob us of important games and maybe even titles.
Is this a sin, to love my team so much and worry about her?
If this is my opinion, is it so bad to express my opinion about it.
Nothing is wrong with it. I personally can walk away when I don't agree with someone's opinion about something but there are two things I have problems with: First people who take pride in predicting the team's failures while refusing to give credit where it is due. Second people who are too arrogant to admit they were wrong.

You are wrong it is not the thing i enjoy i enjoy the most, it is the thing i fear the most, it is a nightmare coming true.
Everything i say, i say it in order to avoid this nightmare scenario, not to experience it.
Oh dear, is this even possible? How can you avoid an unfortunate scenario with predicting it?

It is absurd to make such a claim and i consider it as an insult.
Never meant to insult you. I find it extremely sad that after a great tournament Bonucci had you come here to say you were right that he was a weak defender.

You may not understand football as i do, so you better your remarks on footbalistic matters.
Quoted to show you that you can also attack people personally, when you lose it.

[Not that I disagree with what you say.]

This was a post aimed at me personally,not Bonucci, neither a techincal approach to my arguments about his faults or perfromance,
simply a personal unfounded attack and you showed that you have little idea about what i was talking about though.
You throw mud at me for no like the rest, i am disgusted that you call me a friend... how dare you, i m obvisously not your friend, my haters are your friends,
you dont ever bother to know my actual stance.
Only because I haven't discussed things directly with you doesn't mean I don't know your stance. I've been a member here for many years and I sure have read more than I write. I like you as a member and I consider you a friend, I never even intended my post to be about Bonucci. It was about you and what people find annoying about you. You can't change how people treat you but you can change your way of seeing things. Not to please people, but because it sucks to be pessimistic about everything and everyone.

And you are wrong again, when you talk too much, you increase the probality to make mistakes, you increase the probablity that soemone will take smth out of the contex and twist in order to present it in a way that makes you being wrong.
Its safer to stnad back, say mothing and only thorw insluts and criticism, like X and the new Australians do.
That too, 100% true. I find it as bad.

I have repeated time and time again, i dont care about popularity, my general stance, time on the forums and lack of presence to not football related materialsd prove that.
I only care about Juve, i suffer to her suffering, i dont want that, i want us to be better and improve, so i criticize the weakness and give credit where is due. Whats wrong with that? Is it bad, for a Juve fan, to desire his team's improvement?
Without caring if this is going to make me popular or not. If that was my priority, i would opt for a very different approach.
Agreed with everything you said there except that I haven't seen you giving credit where it's due. If you had, believe me, you wouldn't have drawn this much of negative reactions to your posts.

its sad to see him devastated like this. But the truth is that some goals were the result is his poor manmarking.

But well, all is fine.... this can only teach him and make him improve as a player. He did a good job in other games... but well hopefully this game will teach him that if he wants to be world class, he needs to be able to fight back that kind of attackers.. because sooner or later he will face players like them again.

Indeed feel for him, unfortunate such a famtastic tournament ends like that. Huge lol to read the melancholic doctor say he was carried by the chiellini who committed 3 errors that lead to goals. Love him but only Maggio was worse
than him.

Did someone earlier mentioned Hoori and balls in the same sentence? Be classy, idiots.

On topic, Bonucci was easily the best Italian defender in these Euros.

I had my doubts about him at the beginning of last season, but over the season and the euros I'm started to grow fond of Leo. You can say, I'm starting to become one of his biggest fan. :D

I have no doubt about his talent. He's on his way to becoming something special under Conte.
