The crowd basically booed him off the pitch. Not difficult to see why.

I don't like that.

If Ziegler wasn't good enough than what is DC?

If Ziegler wasn't good enough than what is DC?

Its a good point, Gian...One I gave up wondering about a long time ago after concluding that whilst its obvious to anyone who has seen both Ziegler and De Ceglie regularly, that the swiss is consistently competent, sometimes good and de ceglie is consistently incompetent, sometimes a complete liability, despite all thise, Conte had a problem with Zeigler's mentality/determination...its the only way I can make sense of a seemingly senseless move. De ceglie runs and runs, has brilliant determination and a strong spirit, often producing a good cross once or twice per game, but...he can't defend, he has next to zero footballing intelligence, and no idea where and how to position himself. its time we sold him...it was time a year or two back for me really. We need two LBS/LWBS who can challenge each other for the role, not one great CM playing LWB who makes our other LWB look wretched (when he isn't doing it himself).

I learned never to clear the ball to the middle when I was like 12 years old.

Not his fault. He has a natural unavoidable mean hook on his left leg which means he can never ever kick the ball straight. It's also what makes him seem like a good crosser.

Pablo "The Hook" De Ceglie.

To be fair, his fault leading to the goal wasn't really fatal itself. Taider's shot was just really good. Overall a poor performance though.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Ziegler's crosses are 10 time better than Asamoah's or DC's one. I'm following him in Lokomotiv, he is playing as LB there, not even LWB and he is very good, it's a mystery for me why he was offloaded again

 

[Nzoric]

Isn't this his second start of the season? Two starts, directly blamed for two goals.

Clown. Sadly did very little but give them a goal.

 

[piotrr]

Too early but still true .

:nostradamus:

That's beside the point. As a defender your one job is to NOT give the ball to the other team at the edge of your own box. Inexcusable.

Safe to say it'll be his last start for a long time, until Coppa comes around.

In his last 2 appeareabces,, he has costed us 2 goals... this is very worrysome

 

[fredrik]

such a amatur mistake, and it should not happen on this level. conte will have his head for that mistake, and hopfully a new and better lb/lwb in january

 

[Collaguazo]

One/two mistakes and De Ceglie is crap... If in the next two games he has two assits from crosses he is a beast. The collective intelligence of the Internet amazes me sometimes.

 

[Tacchinardi3]

just a q why did we keep this guy and sell criscito?

He occasionally has good games, but he's always been a very limited player.

All he did was that, an opponent was closing on him and he had to clear the ball (should've done better, obviously).

 

[Emmet]

Sell.

 

[GrandeGigi]

Not just the goal but he lost his man every time someone ran in behind him and luckily Barzagli covered him with consummate ease. The guy simply isn't a left back as he makes a mockery of defending and as has been mentioned on here numerous times, he lacks a footballing IQ.
