LB: Alex Sandro 6.5/10

Alex Sandro has only done one thing well this season and unfortunately it just wasn’t enough in this match. He allowed Luiz Felipe to slip past him for Lazio’s first goal and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic managed to get by him for the match winner.

There wasn’t really anything he could against a 3 man counterattack on third goal, but he should have been better on the first two. I wasn’t impressed with Sandro in this match and Juve really needs somebody who can push him for this job to bring the best out of him.

CB: Leonardo Bonucci 6.5/10

Leonardo Bonucci wasn’t particularly bad in this match, but he also wasn’t able to lie Juve’s defense when they struggled. He came up short trying to head the ball away on Lazio’s first goal, allowing Felipe to slip behind him. It wasn’t the worst performance for Bonucci, but he also wasn’t as great as he had been recently.

CB: Matthijs de Ligt 6/10

Matthijs de Ligt was surprisingly not all that involved in this match, but his most memorable involvement was getting beat by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for Lazio’s second goal. It was still a much better match for him than the disaster we saw against Sassuolo, but not really the bounce back that we were hoping for.

RB: Juan Cuadrado 2/10

It looks like Juan Cuadrado may have finally made the mistake that sends him back to the bench.  He wasn’t playing well before he earned his red card with a reckless challenge. His challenge wasn’t necessary and it put Juve in a really tough spot in a match that was level. This is now the second consecutive match where he has been a disappointment and Juve’s lack of a tp tier right back is finally looking like it will be a problem.
