Monty the silent captain
Im not gonna fully blame this guy for lose vs Lazio but hell this is such poor performance & he was out of position in almost all goals.
Did juve play 4 man or 3 man at the back last year?
He's good at sweeping and should be played as a libero between roma and mussachio. You have a top 3 player in the world and you don't build the team around him? Dumb coaching imo especially when you buy two wing backs and don't play them in that position.
3 man backline is what this team needs to transition to.
Pretty sure Juve played 4 at the back in UCL & had the best defense in Europe (don't think they've conceded a goal till the QF?) and Bonucci played in all of their European games
Like someone in here said, it was more of a team failure than just Leo. Either way, looking forward to the team building chemistry w/ 3 at the back, our midfield needs to improve.
I did not see much of Juve last season but the few UCL games including the final that I did watch, they played 3 at the back.
In Juve he had the protection of a world class midfield and attack where everyone would get involved in defending when they lost possession. This Milan team though still has a long way to go to gel and play at that level.
Bonucci needs to step up his games. So far his performance is only at Paletta/Zapata level

Agree 100%. He is the captian, he is the joint highest paid player in the league, he is has the experience and has been playing at the highest level with top players for many years. He has been brought on to give the team leadership and an edge.This was the most obvious but very emblematic of his performances so far and the reason why I said what I did in the match thread.
This isnt about gelling or rust etc etc - If you are brought here to lead and change culture, then you cant just talk a nice game in pre and post match interviews and shout like hell pre-game....if all you are going to do is walk around on the pitch, be out of position most times and give minimal effort.
Needs to step up big time and lead in all aspects.
