No he'd be a great player in Serie B he's quite literally the Italian Maguire
quite literally not. not a defender, not overly expensive, never was called world class by anyone (still waiting for those quotes by bjerknes, will he ever stop making shit up), never was given an armband, still very young and plenty of room for growth, never was considered a leader. and loca won the euros. arry: zeru tituli

he's out of form after coming back from the injury and shouldn't have started this match. criticism should stop here at the moment.

He was rubbish. How many times did he hold the ball for too long, knowing that a Milan player was running up behind. It happened several times. You'd think he'd have learned after the first. I had high hopes for him but this club just has that effect on talented young players.

I want to see him under a different manager, but he lacks some fundamentals to his game. His lack of mobility on the ball is an obvious one.
I don’t remember him lacking those fundamentals when he was at Sassulo. I think Locatelli just like Vlahovic is confused about his role and the style of football Allegri is asking the team to play. It doesn’t help when most of your midfielders are asked to play as wingers while the strikers are often dropping back to play in the midfield.

then it makes even less sense. bonucci in his prime was twice the player that oaf ever wished to become. and contrary to popular belief, i don't think that barza and chiellini carried leo's ass, i think they complemented each other nicely. he always had this weakness with 1v1 situations, which is especially risky when we play high, so he should have been subbed out for the 2nd half here, but that's on allegri.

the biggest problem with bonucci is that he's past it and still has a long contract thanks to fucking paratici. you don't give players vast contracts that expire when the player is 38. and he's also a starter at this age. sums up the club nicely.

No the biggest problem was bringing him back in the first place, its no coincidence he was shit at milan and that was how many years ago now? You can't blame age for being totally incapable of doing the basics, being absolutely square on in any one on one situation is just not acceptable at this level, sticking his arse out or being a traffic cone last night just shows he's a error waiting to happen, bonucci will always look half decent in a back 3, its the only way it masks over his incompetence

kulu and bentancur also looked lost and didn't know what to do with the ball when they here.

i am not going to trash any player playing under allegri. he has proven to be a fraud as a manager
Vlahovic - one of the best young center forwards in entire Europe

Bremer - best CB in Serie A last season

Kostic - probably the best player in EL last season

Locatelli - one of the best young CM's in Serie A prior to joining Juve.

All of them looked lost and confused. Even Di Maria seems confused with our tactics. These are all high quality players where most of them would easily walk into any Serie A team.

I also remember when Marchisio looked hopeless as a player under Del Neri but transformed into a top midfielder under a better coach.

Ofcourse there are obvious weaknesses but how can we sit and argue about squad quality when the coach is incapable in putting the pieces together and have us function as a team... That's literally his job and he's failing massively at it.

Unless this football jihadi gets sacked, we would never really know the true potential of our players. Our players' confidence has been shot down because of poor coaching and this squad desperately needs coaching.

If there are literally ZERO link-up players available, there's no putting the pieces together.

And yes, get him out of here.

Player lost his confidence in him self in his abilites , same as dusan lost his confidance…
All thr olayers on the pitch just keep lossing confidance and thier perforamce keeps going down another victim is Miretti,
The only exception is Rabiot where his confidance went up…
The whole team has no faith in its own ability and desire is low unless they play much weaker opposition…
Sad but must cut the head of the sanke (Allegri) and attach new head in the hopes that the body will heal…
Sad day to all juve fans

yes, age and physical, mental state aren't related at all

pls
Age has nothing to do with being incapable of performing the most basic of movements, bonucci has always had poor footwork when positioning himself. Getting himself square on everytime is elementary stuff, ive seen Sunday league footballers know how to defend side on better
