Of all the players playing out there you still mention Ambrosini even if he's done nothing more or less right/wrong then Bonera, Clarence or even Ibra. Not to mention Antonini and Silva toying with passes around our goal. I think you have a fixation on him (IMG:

Bonera has been ok so far, Thiago is the one that worried me, and I haven't said anything yet because I know how people get about such player. But I feel that this season he's not anywhere near last season's form, and I've noticed this in not just Silva, but Abate, VB, etc. And imo this is what's effecting our results as much as the injury epidemic.
I feel that Ibra has been isolated all season, against the smaller sides he just makes it look easy which is what puts us in a sense of false comfort. But in reality, we're struggling to bring in our attackers into the game and this is one of the main reasons why we find it so difficuilt in the big matches. And why Pato for example hasn't been performing. (not saying it's not on him as well, because he's not been in form this season), but still our midfield problems are glaringly obvious when it comes to this aspect of out game.
Back to Ambro, he's just completely out of it. Seedorf is huffing and puffing with any result and VB hasn't been his usual self.
As we did in the first game against them in the league, we're not marking their midfield, which imo is a show of arrogance from Allegri. Any team who's managed a result against Juve this season has done it the simple way, press Their CMs and 75% of their entire game plan is out the window. But like usual we'll take the hardest route, to most likely another defeat against a top side
