Its not all his fault guys this game was different than any other this season it seemed like our players were afraid to take responsibility that many times he and Bonucci were left alone with the ball with no one to pass to... We lost this in our heads. I can agree that he was really slow and annoying yesterday, but lets get serious its not one mans fault that we loose.
Pirlo: 'Not happy with my performance'
By Football Italia staff
Andrea Pirlo admits “I am the first to say I’m not satisfied with my performance” after Juventus lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich.
“Compliments to Bayern for showing their strength tonight, but there is also a second leg and we will prepare for that,” the midfielder told Sky Sport Italia.
“When you prepare for such an important game and you go behind after 30 seconds, it certainly influences your approach.
“However, throughout the 90 minutes Bayern showed their superiority. We hope to control the game in the second leg.”
The Bianconeri gave the ball away numerous times in the Champions League quarter-final, particularly with Pirlo in the final third.
“I am the first to say I’m not satisfied with my performance, as I made many mistakes in such an important match and it’s disappointing. We now have to analyse why we had so many misplaced passes.
“Clearly we need something more in the second leg, as what we did tonight was not enough.”

Always struggle against teams that presses hard, we covered this so many times before, don't expect it to change, teams that are well prepared will always gives us troubles. When Pirlo is locked up, we look cluless especially with our WC forward line.
Should've went with the 4-3-3 in these situations, gives us more options.

pogba will be 40 in 20 years time 
Wow, some of the overreactions on here are unbelievable. Andrea is still king, just the idiot players (specifically in defence) who go, 'hey man it looks like Andrea is being really pressed and marked in this game, I have a genius idea, let's try and pass the ball to him'
It still was possible to pass the ball to him but not as our first pass straight out of defence, we needed to make them run to other areas allowing Andrea room to breathe before we passed the ball on to him.
