Leonardo Bonucci (94 Viewers)

Ya because we didn't have a left back.

that was because we didn't have a defensive playmaker . If you had seen conte's siena their manouver always started from defenders , he likes to have defenders with good legs . It is actually possesion football that requires that and none of our other defenders have legs and vision except bonucci

Ya and that backfires if you play a good team who doesn't give you the ball all game. TBH, Bonucci is fine most of the time because of our TEAM. But he's really not a good CB.

Just look at the Euro finals vs. Spain. He looked so so bad. What happens if we face Barca/Real/Bayern etc? He gets cut into pieces by mediocre forwards.

That weird pose Well it seems you have never played football then

The pose is pretty standard, its like natural when the defender is running towards his goal but with his back to the incoming attacker to keep trace of him. The thing is that bonucci is so awkward doing it that It looks retarded, in comparison with someone like cannavaro for example, who used that kind of moves without looking dumb and getting silli yellows. Ill never forget in one game against milan, when he used a maneuver like that to stop shekvchenko in a 1v1 before gigis area. He left sheva rooted and without the ball and after that canna started the play with the ball on his feet.
That shit was epic defending.

This game cannot be used as a valid example for anything.

True, was a fucking heart breaking final, the saddest I've seen in almost a decade.

Not only that, but so many injuries and overall fatigue.

He is the same player he always was. He plays the easiest position on our team and one of the easiest positions you can play because of our possession and the two power houses beside him and he still makes tons of mistakes.

There's a reason Conte thinks Marrone can play the sweeper position. And it's not because Marrone is a great defender.

He's good in the air and is comfortable with the ball even though he still had a couple giveaways vs. Chelsea. He's good at last second slide tackles after he's caused the counter attack or has been skinned.

He is not a traditional CB in any sense and if we ever move from 3-5-2 I question whether he will even be on the team.

So it's just a coincidence that Juve's defence looked horribly insecure when playing Siena, with Marrone in Bonucci's place?

You mean David Lulz?

Forget the almost. It was the saddest

Yeah I wouldn't use that Spain game as a barometer to measure Bonucci's defending. That was an extremely tired and injury ravaged team playing against quite possibly the best international team in history. I think any team in Italy's place would have struggled. I also think most people forget Italy played with 10 men for basically half of the game.

 

[Osman]

Both Chiellini and Barzagli had a worse game then in him in that final, especially Giorgio. Selective memory is a bitch.


And oh, I so do not want to see Marrone start as a CB in a game that will have our defenders tested quite a bit, was shakey enough vs relegation battling team who barely attack.

 

[Juve_fanatic]

His agent said that he will be available for the Milan game....

CdS has bonbon in their line-up. Is he going to make it?

4 shots and 33% possession. They were all over us, yup.

But is it really something to be proud of when the defence looks worse when a 22 year old CM is playing your spot? Like that is some sort of barometer lol.

Bottom line is Bonucci can't stop anyone 1 v 1, he can't play the Barza/Chiellini roles where you press your man all game. He can't man mark. He shares the same characteristics of a midfielder except he can win aerial battles. ERGO, Conte is using another midfielder as his sub.

[NinjaPoggy]

why is he injured?

 

[frick]

Because he's not a bionic man.














































Or because he has a fever.

A mere fever couldn't stop the hero that is Leo.
