I must say I was annoyed at times with our performance in the 1st half, and even more with few individuals in our team. We looked lethargic and clumsy. Fortunately Conte made the right subs this time and we played much better later on.
True. Altho Asamoah's comment was also interesting
“Above all in the second half we played well. The first half was alright, but we didn’t do enough of the movements we had practiced in training,” the Ghanaian told Sky Sport Italia. “We also did better out of possession and weren’t pushed back so much.”
Offcourse, we must remain realistic in what we could have expected, even for an away game. The squat has barely rotated for quite a while now, having played fiorentina 3 times, and just 3 days ago Napoli

Come on zach..we play that way away and in home matches.
We were like this "..." from not getting a good result if it wasnt for buffon and lucky bonucci.
Our tactics, if we had one, were abysmal.
I still dont know how can you act like everything is under control and we were fine
What did you honestly expect ? We are playing nearly the same team for months now due to injuries. Vidal was missing, and it was an away game.
Conte was allways going to hardcounter the opponent in a passive defensive mentality.
Bonucci's goal is an unexpected bonus, we went for a goalless draw, and we got more. I'll take it.
