I hate seeing such subdued, passive, clueless performances from Juventus. A spirited, battling display would've made the defeat much easier to swallow.
But of course losing to such a great side is nothing to be ashamed of at this point in time considering where Juventus stand at in terms of development.
This is a lesson learnt the hard way and I can only hope we can reflect on it and move forward with a better awareness of what we need to improve to move to the higher level.

With 3-5-2 I can't see anything good for us. I don't know who will replace Licht. Padoin maybe? Pgba instead of Vidal another blow for us. Not because of Pogba but because Vidal is key player in this Juventus side. Maybe with 4-1-4-1 something like this
Buffon
Padoin-Barza-Chiellini-Peluso
Pirlo
Giovinco-Pogba--Marchisio-Asamoah
Vucinic

I dont like the post match talk, a lot of how we prepare for our games is given away in the post and pre match talk. Yes they all admit Bayern deserved it but theres no talk of focus to try working a way back. obviously pre match there will be the usual talk big but despite the players or the formation, we lost mainly as a result from our mentality and experience, we cant emulate such experience on a training ground but what we can do is go back home and build on various ways to break the tank by passing more fluid and showing more intensity. Only chielini's post match talk mentioned a better second leg 'We certainly hoped for better, but there are still 90 minutes left and we won’t give up. We have a week to prepare and will fight to the end.'
Yes were out but FFS I expect better in the second leg.

The better team won and it was sort of expected but what hurts is the manner we lost and the goals we conceded. The goals were cheap, well one was cheap and the other was a very close call. The manner we lost with is how our key players looked so bad, it's now two games in a row for Barzagli and Pirlo had probably his worst display in a Juve jersey. Peluso was bad but can't be blamed as he is not ready for this level where Marchisio can be totally blamed for not even showing up. There is no need to talk about the forwards, I just hope the club realizes how much we need a different breed up front.
I don't believe the encounter is over, there is still small chance but it requires extreme caution and patience without letting goals in. It is the proper time to try the 3-5-1-1 in the return leg.
