Medhi Benatia (8 Viewers)

[K.O.]

The way he stood there and watched Messi scoring a preventable 3rd is worthy of a downgrade to primavera. The defending on that Barca goal reminded me of the Del Neri era.

Honestly i'd expect better from any physically fit football enthusiast, it was like a game of FIFA where the opponent has raged and thrown his pad away. Static as fuck.

 

[Hust]

Decent game

 

[A D A M]

Caldara should've been brought. As simple as that.

 

[K.O.]

Cancer.

 

[Boksic]

Terrible player, we look so week down his side.

Just watched 3 Atalanta players line-up to tap in Caldara's goal.

He was also responsible for the second goal

Us buying Benatia is bad business.

 

[Juliano13]

I cant stand that fucker.

Atalantas first goal goes on Buffon though... not one of his best interventions.

Nah, it's just a very quick cross and header. Replay that 100 times and Cristante gets a free header. It's about momentum, you have to stop it at source. Where the header goes is random, more often than not it'd be over the bar.

First goal you can blame any defensive player but it's mostly Buffon. I know Benatia is the resident scapegoat and I don't like him but I thought he was generally fine especially first half. The big error was later on when Petagna rolled him. The other thing is that when play gets as broken up as it was towards the end of the game with Juve attacking then defenders get very exposed, it's nice and easy playing in a unit knocking the ball about or doubling up but I'd rather have Benatia playing in broken play than Bonucci, put it that way.

It's obviously Buffon, unless suddenly Benatia was thrown the gloves just before the free-kick, I didn't notice. You know how it is...

Bernandeschi is responsible for the second goal

Benatia over bonucci

 

[JuveJay]

Benatia over bonucci

In open play yes, Bonucci varies between average and awful in an exposed defence, which is what we are going to see more of with this approach.

I'd prefer Rugani but then he's not been stellar either. Who has? See first point.

 

[zizinho]

i didnt think he was terrible. not great either tho

In open play any defender can get exposed but Rugani definitely has to start over benatia either we have confidence in his ability or we buy another quality defender maybe sign de vrij or gimenez I can't remember any game where benatia has stood out as a defender he is not defender he was at roma

 

[GordoDeCentral]

Not Juve material

 

[Hust]

What the fuck is this guy doing in practice to get the continued loyalty of Allegri?


Conversely, what the fuck is Rugani doing in practice to continually getting shunned by Allegri?



Am I taking crazy pills?

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Bernandeschi is responsible for the second goal

Was it not Matuidi? No one marked the run.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Terrible player, we look so week down his side.

Just watched 3 Atalanta players line-up to tap in Caldara's goal.

Sure, but where was everyone else?
Benatia caught watching is one thing, but he was the only player in the vicinity of the ball, surrounded by 3 opponents.

I thought last night was one of his better games so far. Even if that means absolutely nothing, obviously
