He certainly wasn't at his best.. However aside from being caught on the counter (which resulted in the goal), and getting pwned at the top of the box when he didn't want to foul, he was actually not too bad today. Unlike Peluso he actually pressured and tackled, a few times Parma tried to turn him inside out on the left side and he held his ground well... Credit where it is due thnx.
Agreed, given also we are already short of manpower on the left side, a red would have been short-sighted and foolhardy. Both Caceres and Bonucci were caught out, and Caceres did a better job at making up ground than Bonny did.

You guys are harsh on him. Main reason for that big gap being back there is our D always stay wide while in possession to provide options for pass, especially when the opposition applies pressure. I love Mirko, but that goal IMO still goes back to that silly, unfortunate give-away that caught everyone off guard, otherwise you have to question everyone's positioning from our mids to Bonucci that not only filled the offside, but didn't provide any cover either. Perhaps Martin's mistake was not fouling Sansone like some already said here.
