I saw him making mistakes here n there.
I think its fitness related.
With that said , he is no Nesta & we need to field a defense of three to totally benefit from his goods.

He's obviously nothing like Nesta. He's more comfortable on the ball than Nesta. He's less skilled in defensive positioning than Nesta. He's a very different player. But he's also the best defender in modern football.

I dont see any problem with Bonucci in a 4-4-2 variation. Musacchio seems rock solid so far, the kind of old-fashioned skirmisher who would compliment Bonucci very well. Can't wait to see them together.

Ramos is only considered better because of his offensive contribution

He's not better defensively

Bonucci

I don't know but I've never seen such an obvious leader before. So impressed.

nope, undisputed #1

Bonucci has been a part of quite a few embarrassing losses at the biggest stage for me to consider him #1

well I think it is unfair to judge him based on that.
he was only "part of quite a few embarrassing losses at the biggest stage" because he played for Juventus.
now I don't think that if bonucci replaced ramos on real madrid then they would lose any single one of their titles would they? or suffer an embarrassing defeat

Hardly his fault he played for serial European chokers while the other plays for the richest club in the world.

I don't think he's more comfortable on the ball than Nesta.

Better at distributing/long passes...probably...

but no one is more comfortable in his own box under pressure than Nesta. Nobody is.

Bonucci is what we were missing for a while a TRUE BORN LEADER.

Now, like I said before best CB I have seen play is Nesta hands down, Second Baresi and third Billy or Paolo. Bonucci is not a slouch but nowhere near those 4.

Anyways who is the vice-captain?

Exactly, Bonucci needs to learn from Ramos how to get players sent off for horrific dives in important matches

Strongly agree. Watching Nesta under pressure was consistently amazing. He was something else.

Bonucci is an extremely talented passer, and his long balls out of the back are next level, and will add a lot to our team.

A back three of Bonucci, Romagnoli, and Musacchio will give us a huge edge from a possession/attacking standpoint against most teams.

No way in hell is Ramos better than Maldini or Nesta. That was a whole different caliber that is now long gone.

Who said Ramos is better than Maldini or Nesta?

I thought the argument is who is the best defender of the modern (current) generation.

the phrasing was "modern football" Maldini and Nesta were part of modern football.

Had 1-2 errors when defending, I'm sure he will get use to 4 man defense in about after 10 matches.

he already had plenty of games with a 4 man defense, he just needs to step up his current form, quit with the poor man's Al Pacino talks and focus on actual playing.

Bonucci and Musacchio had the most passes completed in Serie A this round. 90% of those passes were to each other though :lol:
