We all love Luca Bucci and he is a great servant to us, but since Christmas he has been worrying me. In the last 8 games, yes our defense has been woeful, but i feel Luca has been at fault for at least half of the goals we've conceded in this time, coming in the following 5 games:
Round 21 Parma 2-3 Atalanta
The second Atalanta goal, that made it 1-2, when we had been pushing back, was a strange one. Bucci seemed to totally misjudge the ball, go for it, then get out of the way and let it go in right over his head. Then their third goal, a low shot from outside the area, goes right underneath his hand.
Round 22: Cagliari 1-1 Parma
He goes for the shot with 2 hands, yet surely it would have been a much simpler parry over the bar reaching with just his left hand!?
Round's 23, 24 & 25: did well against Milan, let in 4 at Torino though none his fault, and didn't have a save to make against Udinese
Round 26: Roma 4-0 Parma
The first goal (always the most crucial, especially as we'd been holding our own up until then) was a howler from Luca, what on earth was he doing punching it at near ground level!?
Round 27: Parma 1-2 Sampdoria
For the first goal, yes the defense was motionless, but so was Luca! Staying on his line when he could have gotten to the ball, or at least come out to narrow down the angle.
Round 28: Livorno 1-1 Parma
A feirce shot yet seemingly straight into his hands, can only be palmed into the top corner.
Is he too old now? Should we be trusting a younger keeper? Is he the best we've got? Or should we be blaming the defense for not stopping these shots being made in the first place (even though most were from outside the area)?
