I agree on that, and even if we see it that way, Pirlo is a mistake from the management.
Since we lost our MVPP midfield this team has been going slowly but surely to shit. 5 years and counting.

Exactly.
Unless morata was hurt physically and unable to play the whole game...beinching him was a huge, HUGE mistake.

Pirlo: 'Morata felt faint' after Porto defeat
By Football Italia staff
Andrea Pirlo reveals Alvaro Morata ‘felt faint’ after the 2-1 Champions League defeat to FC Porto and Juventus ‘handed the opening goal on a silver platter.’
This was arguably the worst Bianconeri performance of the season so far, showing a shameful lack of concentration when conceding a goal in the opening minute of each half.
The opener in particular was disappointing, as Rodrigo Bentancur’s awful back-pass was intercepted by Mehdi Taremi.
“When you concede a goal after one minute, a strange one at that, it’s natural the players will lose confidence, especially against a side that knows how to clam up in defence,” Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.
“Porto got the game immediately on the track they wanted. With such a packed fixture list, it’s normal you can’t always maintain absolute focus and the right tempo, but it shouldn’t have happened in the Round of 16 of the Champions League.”
Federico Chiesa gave them some hope with a late away goal, while Cristiano Ronaldo had penalty appeals rejected in stoppages for the Zaidu challenge.
To make matters worse, Danilo was booked and will be suspended for the second leg, while Giorgio Chiellini went off injured.
“Matthijs De Ligt fortunately just had cramp. Chiellini has a calf problem and Morata wasn’t in good shape before, then was sore at the end too, so we’ll see. Morata hasn’t been at his best since returning from a bout of flu. He was only playing tonight because we needed him.
“He felt ill in the locker room afterwards, he felt faint and needed a lie down, so he is not doing well.”
Sky Sport Italia pundit Fabio Capello complained Juve were constantly gathering the ball with their backs to the goal, putting them in the wrong positions.
“We moved the ball around too slowly and weren’t intelligent enough to realise the dynamics of the game we were going into.
“The intention was to spread the play, but we didn’t do it enough in the first half, a bit more towards the end. It’s not easy against a team with 11 men behind the ball.
“We had prepared well for this game, it was not the attitude we wanted, but conceding a goal in the opening minute when we handed it to them on a silver platter made everything more difficult.”

it depends. If Zidane is coming or not.
But still even if Zizou isn't coming any manager would be a massive upgrade over him.
It's like when we appointed Ciro Ferrara trying to emulate Barca with Guardiola... no experience at all.
Sorry can't do at this lvl mate! He needs some years under his belt before managing Juventus.
We can't fail a league with the number of players we have.

Shameful all the Tuz cretins bashing him this week while he’s putting it all out there for the club, even while sick.
So Morata was ill last week and missed the Inter match then played through Napoli and came on today, still feeling under the weather.

Conceicao: “We pressed all the strong points of Juve, including Adrien Rabiot in the middle..through marega"
He summed it up that they wanted to press us high, similar to how other clubs found us out.it was easy to see of course.
What I find interesting is he seems confident enough to stick with the same strategy in the second leg. Porto are known for attacking quality so it might work out well.
"We need to be rigorous defensively and then make the most of any errors. Juve are the ones who need to chase the result, but that doesn’t mean we are going there just to defend, otherwise we will concede eventually."
“If they have Juan Cuadrado, Paulo Dybala and others back, that will give them very different characteristics, but we will study Juve carefully and be prepared.”
Man we so need cuadrado and dybala for the second leg, I hope this time Pirlo does his homework and I have faith he will do every bit of that. He turned it around against Barca and surprised Inter and Milan. There's no bigger game left than the return leg. Do or die.
