Leonardo Bonucci (60 Viewers)

[Suns]

One of the best defences out there, defence goes bunch of games without letting one goal in(with Bonucci being part of almost every second) and being main reason why we've won 2 scudettos in a row.. and now we should sell him?

I'd say Chiellini has been a lot worse than Leo this season. Does he cop the same backlash? Nope.

Sometimes I wonder if too much gets put on his shoulders, having to be the central anchor in a 3 man defense, and being the one primarily responsible for bringing the ball up from the back.

Bonucci is incredibly protected by the other 2 CBs. He basically does no man-marking and very rarely gets caught in space. He just has to sweep in behind Barza/Chiellini and pick up loose balls. His job is so easy that we once had Vidal doing it and last year Marrone was his back up FFS.

The fact that he still manages to get beat so easily and to make so many mental errors is really quite deplorable.

Barzagli covered for him magnificantly today, what a beast.

That's because Chiellini hasn't been worse and Chiellini's one of our best defenders if not the best. Unlike Bonucci, Chiellini is always tasked to mark against the opponents best man.

That's obvious for the non-biased fans out there.

It's not easy when you're used to playing with Pirlo and all of a sudden you're responsible to bring the ball from the back, especially with a man down for most of the game.

Shut up.

Please show some decency. I know Cagliari would.

Seriously, on one-one-ones he just looks atrocious and plain awful. No confidence, no clue, nothing. Basically he's only useful when we're in possession, to do a coupla long balls/decent through passes, but even most of those turned out sh!tty tonite..

Chiellini has been really bad on occasion this year. He just has more of a cache amongst the Juve faithful

Sometimes i really wonder if people witness the 'DEFENDING' or see how good a defender is with the ball.I do wonder a lot.

You're on top of them

Yep.

 

[baggio]

Barzagli covered for him magnificantly today, what a beast.

Makes you wonder though, Barzagli is probably also the reason why Bonnucci is still allowed anywhere near the pitch.

 

[Trequartista]

The irony

You accuse baggio of being a biased Quag fanboy but you're exactly the same with Bonucci.

Chiellini has awful ball playing skills and that's what people notice at times, missed easy pass or two, but his defending is of the highest level.

This is pretty much it. He is really comfortable on the ball, but by no means is that the sign of a defender who should be starting for a club like Juve.

 

[Xperd]

Chiellini's criticism comes from the fact he's really retarded in possession and surges forward like Lucio at times only to lose the ball.But his 'defending' actually has been good or atleast improved a lot since the early part of the season.Much better than Bonucci.
