He was a lot better for Udinese, though (compared to Chile).
But at Juve he looks completely lost. In the second half of previous season he did have some solid matches, though. I don't think that's confidence related but dunno.
Anyone else who think he was pretty good for Chile? I just recall him having one awful cross in the box, but other than that I think he was quite solid. He plays much better for his NT than he does here.

to be fair, we have been saying this for ages, he has never constantly shown improvement, although the back half of last season was an improvement, nothing close to what he is capable of
There's also one thing I noticed. Just recently in group stages Isla had a game where he was rock solid, without any mistakes and he offered perfect balance while covering behind. Many members went on and saying like 'he's good, great match etc.' but he had those exact matches at Juve as well but at the end of a game he was described as total shit and people called him useless.
what i dont really like about him is his lack of confidence, he looks like he is scared whenever he has the ball. Lichtsteiner is one of best rbs in Europe but he is aging and i really doubt Maruico is the one who can replace him.
And I agree with that. Hopefully after the WC there are teams interested and we can at least retain what we invested. If we switch to back 4 (which seems more and more likely) Licht and Caceres are more than enough for the job.

His first season was complete and total shit. Second half of last season, I felt there was more of an improvement from him. Had a solid batch of games.
