Expected.

We're way, way out of depth here.

Juve bring in Kulusevski, McKennie, Athur. We're barely hanging on a thread.

Let's not get demoralised by this defeat. I'm sure we'll finish ahead of Juve in the end.

OK just turned off the TV, Milan's run was good while it lasted. Juve have too much umph in their arsenal, while Milan is decemated.

Good follow up on the storming of US congress by Trump supporters.

Yeah, but how soon. Cos it's very probable we'll be playing with the same line-up against Torino as well. Ibra, Bennacer, Saelemaekers are still out injured. Rebic will be out at least 10 days as well.

The problem is we don't have depth. Having to play Calabria as DM today is all management's fault. Relying on a GARBAGE player like Castillejo is inexcusable.

Pioli is also at fault here. Should have played Diaz from the start. At least play your only cards right damn it!

WTF is Leao doing??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Maldini junior should have passed to diaz

How selfish from Maldini.

Sad that unbeaten run finished and couldn't score 2 goals.

But it was too much tonask for Considering the injury and covid situation we had and then had to face juve who on paper are quite better even if we have the whole squad fit.

Also one more point that juve should have been down to 10 men from 70 mins onwards.

Samu was probably played because he provides better cover, and considering the right side was handicapped, I understand the decision.

Look, we had more than half of the first team out and was playing important players out of position as well.

I think we'll have Ibra and Bennacer back in 2 weeks time. Tonali will be back for Toro so Calabria will be back to his natural position.

I actually think we put in an overall good performance and the score line was harsh. But when Juve bring on great runners like McKinnie and Kulusevski while we don't have any real subs and are tiring out, this was expected.

The only issue I have with Pioli's choices today is that we should have played it tighter and just hit them on the counter. The high press was sort of working and Juve could have easily gifted us a couple of goals with the way they were playing around at the back, but it didn't come off. And when we got caught out, we couldn't recover in time. The 2 goals in the second half were due to this

Yep, that none call for Bentancour was typical Juve BS

But what do you expect?

Nothing to add here. It was expected, no miracle happened. I hope at least this acts as a wake up call for Maldini and co. to make a few signings this winter, cos we have zero depth.

Dalot, Castillejo, Hauge, Leao showed their huge limitations. Unwatchable at times, terrible performances.

Hakan, Kessie did all they could. They're no superstars and it was obvious tonight.

Theo had possibly his worst game with us thus far. Completely exposed by Chiesa, no real threats pushing on the left except for some loner runs in the middle which Juve intercepted easily.

Calabria I thought was outstanding. For someone playing there for his first time, he really owned that position. The sheer grit and determination, just admirable. I wish everyone had his attitude.

Hopefully we get everyone back as soon as possible. We need our starting line-up to put up a fight.

Agreed

But sometimes you just have to accept that we've reached the absolute limit of what we can do with the players we have available.

Hopefully we'll use this as another springboard for the rest of the season like we've used previous defeats.

Losing Rebic today imo is what put the nail in this game. I was optimistic this morning, but as soon as I saw the news about the positive results, I said "oh well".

Juve are there for the taking this season, we couldn't do it today, but had we had a fully fit side, we would have won this, and I firmly believe that

Well said, couldn't have put it better.



Same.



Absolutely.

I still maintain that we had a good game.

Of course there are some instances that went Juve's way, but they have incredible talent in the attack that can change a match around. Chiesa had an amazing match, which was kind of unexpected, at least to this level. But, I still think, all things considered we controlled a big part lf the game. I have a few remarks. I agree that Theo had his worst match with us, but I think this player feeds off always playing and staying in the mix. But, he frustrated me, at some point he was walking..
And Romagnoli had to cover his *** each time. Leao, I thought had some really good instances to be honest, he still needs to maintain consistency throughout the whole game though.

Oh, absolutely. We played more than well considering all our absences. But it's like you said, Juve have too much talent and that made all the difference in the end.

Sucks to lose but given the circumstances there's nothing to cry about. If anything, we should have been a bit tougher and not so soft at times.

According to what Pioli said after the match, we should be getting most if not all of our players back on the 18th for the Cagliari match.

So, save any other possible injuries, Torino on Saturday remains the last hurdle to overcome. Thankfully we play again at home.
