That's utter nonsense. He's a fullback, he showed his quality with the cross for Pirlo's goal and the cross for Gilardino's header. His only job defensively is to stop crosses coming in from his flank and given the first wasn't from his flank and the second was a longball from the half way he's not to blame for either of them nor is it his job to clear crosses into the box, that's the job of the centre backs. In case you hadn't noticed Van Buyten is a giant, he's 6ft 5in, Maldini can't jump anymore, Nesta wasn't close and the only player we have taller than Van Buyten is Dida, the onus was on him to command his area.
