Awful today, but to call him a "joke of a player" is absolute nonsense. We're way past that. He's developed into a great defender for us, and have been for some time. But yeah, in this particular match he was indeed woeful.
Let's not overreact. He was incredible the last 2 years. And for most of this season so far. 1 bad game and you want him sold...? I suppose we should have sold Chiello for the two penalties conceded and the red card against Sassuolo?
Yes he has been fantastic last season , but fuck it he made Borriello look like Suarez , almost cost us 3pts , and yes i know he is important for our gameplay , he used to be worse and improved, so he'll improve again,but today he was super bad .
You can see within minutes of a game when he is going to have one of these days, when his head is not in it he's a waste of time. He's been great for us but today was appalling. That OG was ridiculous.
That exact same situation with Boriello, also happened two or three times against Sevilla and every time he was beaten to the punch, only for Buffon to save his sorry ass;
So... yeah he is dumb at defending.
