WTF was that back pass? Horrible defending that almost cost us the game, but thanks for the goal.
To be fair to him, he was just down injured and had only just got up when the ball came to him. But yeah could have been terrible.

Superb goal though and he started the move as well.

A player is in an offside position if any of their body parts with which they can touch the ball during any other part of the play is in the opponents' half of the pitch and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last opponent (usually, but not necessarily always, the last defensive player in front of the goalkeeper).

I dont even know why its up for discussion. Do you think he could have scored with his finger? Not offside.

A side note, it was very refreshing to see a defender come into the box in open play and score a nice goal. He did it in the friendly game we had as well. I like that about benatia, he needs to play more so he can adjust and improve his defending as that back pass to buffon had everyones heart pumping.

He might have buried his chances to climb the pecking order this season with that mistake early in second half. Not a bad player, but the other 4 CB's are simply more reliable than him

He made a pass second half and just before the camera cut him off you could see him grimace on the follow through. Not a good sign to see him still have these problems, but I expect we'll redeem him and then see what happens the year after when Caldara is available.

He is not allways injured this season. That's just false, he has been sidelined less then rest of the CBs except Rugani.
