Demiral has started to become a defensive juggernaut without any correlation to reality.

Rewind the tape a little and you’ll see Demiral putting in a half assed effort on Correa. He was part of the blame on that goal, along with bonucci, bentancur, Cuadrado, and Dybala for losing possession in the first place.

it’s been that way for awhile lol. There was a suggestion of exchanging him for aouar and people freaked out. Same shit happened with Caldara.

I think Demiral is exposed by the system. I know our 3 at the back is meant to be a 4 when we defend but it isn't panning out that way. He isn't suited to being dragged into defending fast forwards with room to run into down the wing which happened against Lazio.
To get the best out of him he should be in the middle dealing with balls in the box. I'd rather we ditch the 3 (given the balance of the team) and build with a 4 at the back.

Still only 28. Late bloomer version of Nesta.

Same with Bonucci and Caicedo.
It's nonsense to come out and claim DeLigt/Demiral/Chiello would have done better. Could have, could not have. It simply wasn't as easy to defend as the tuz anti Bonucci brigade wants you to believe.

Gained loads of experience playing in Serie C, he's ready now!
No point in discussing the fraudulent ass tackler - he is here to stay, unfortunately. Just like the frozen kebab, he will leave when he decides to, or when his contract finally runs out (unless he's given another extension).
Now, is he a good defender? The word good is subjective, and by modern standards, he's decent. However, had the traitorous ass tackler been playing in the era of greats like Scirea, Baresi, Bergomi, Maldini, and later Nesta and Cannavaro, he wouldn't have seen the likes of a football pitch, least of all for a team like ours.

It's not the same; Bonucci is right on Caicedo. All he needs to do is cover the only side he can probably score from...
Bonbon is a liability. Demiral is not better right now but the thing is he possibly could become better. That's the point here...
And if De Ligt can do some of the playmaking -that Bonucci is great at-, we're set.
