Vidal tackle. Perfect timing and crucial.

would have had an assist if Genoa striker was more clinical!

 

[Rollie]

Shaky on the day, but that sliding intervention was tits. That's a game saver.

 

[Ahmed]

heart stops every time he is backpedaling towards a high ball.

Actually he's very good on 1 against 1 chances. The midfield left the whole defense too exposed in the first half, which made everything much more complicated then it needed to be.

Barzagli was worse today.

He had a mix of bad and some good. Barzagli was shockingly bad today and our worst defender on the day.

He was shit, but so was the entire defense. Our midfield left the D exposed today, and it cruelly should what can happen to us when that is the case. Our defense is actually made to look better than it actually is thanks to protection from the midfield, particularly Vidal, who is a beast. Moreoever, our wingbacks were quite average as well (not tracking back in some instances) thus putting more pressure on the D. Having said that, our defense isn't usually as horrific as this, and today they were just slow, lethargic, and failed to function as a unit. It's a good thing this happened in a game against Genoa, and not in a crucial title decider or a tough CL tie.

I'd like to see Marrone get more games @ CB; I think he'd be a revelation there.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

Yep pretty much that.

 

[Salvo]

He saved our ass with that one tackle on Borriello though.

 

[LowLife]

I watched the game in a sports bar with plenty guys who were not Juve fans and they dont even watch Serie A, they were asking to sub him out. He is such a burden sometimes!

 

[Klin]

The good thing is that he won't get benched. We even changed our formation to accommodate him in the team.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

He wasn't our worst defender on the day. Barzagli was god awful, absolute dogshit performance. I thought Bonucci improved considerably in the 2nd half. Much more room for improvement though.

And as others have pointed out, our midfield was non existant in the first half. Giacch-Pirlo-Marchisio was way too lightweight against a team like Genoa away from home, the midfield was being overrun and our defence was left exposed one too many times.

He saved our ass with that one tackle on Borriello though.

The ball was already heading to Buffon's hands. Either way Buffon would've saved it.

 

[RAMI-N]

Even though (And I'm not sure that Gigi would've saved it), you can't deny Bon that he did stop Boriello.

It's ok to critisice him as much as you want but give him credit when its due...

 

[Boksic]

Strange game from Bonucci, he did some fantastic goal saving challenges but had some awful lacks in concentration (although so did Chiellini and Barzagli).

In the first half it was like the SuperCopa vs Napoli where we played far too high a line which didn't help.

 

[Nzoric]

He was our best defender yesterday.

 

[JuveJay]

The ball was already heading to Buffon's hands. Either way Buffon would've saved it.

That's impossible to know, you can't judge just because Buffon looked like he was behind it. The ball only travels 1 yard from Borriello to Bonucci, so you can't be sure where it was really heading.

 

[Red]

He saved our ass with that one tackle on Borriello though.

He saved himself.

That situation only arose because Bonucci and Barzagli both went for the same ball and neither of them got it cleanly, so Juve were left exposed.

 

[Dostoevsky]

This guy is a walking disaster.

He'll never earn my trust, he simply makes too many mistakes (not judging based on tonight only, no).

 

[Linebreak]

Proven himself time and again not to be anywhere near good enough for the big time.

 

[WΏΏdy?]

My biggest worry abt this game and he justifies it
