Thing is, we went through a patch of terrible form in the early stages of this season and it has come back to haunt us big time. It was in this period we drew in Copenhagen and messed up against Gala at home. We're actually in great shape right now, so it's heartbreaking to crash out with this being the case. I think we could've made a real impact in the knockout stages.
Today's "performance" wasn't bad by any means, but it was terribly difficult to play football in these conditions. Poor form early on in the season and particular circumstances in this match cost us. But mostly the former, of course.

You say luck
I say horrible finishing
You say luck
I say terrible defensive errors
You say luck
I say 1 win in 6 games.
I'm pretty sure Juve weren't being stalked by a bad luck demon every time we stepped foot in the CL. Luck would be Oscars deflected goal Vs us
Not getting 5 points from 4 games against vastly inferior opposition who were also in awful domestic form.

We have big problems. Apart from not being as good as everyone thinks we are, this team is simply not cut out for European competition on multiple levels. It will always go back to the outdated tactics and mentality that this side has shown throughout the years, reverting back to the "safe bet." Just like under Capello, you can't play like crap every game and hope to be successful. It works in a garbage league like Serie A, but that's about it.
But who knows, perhaps Berardi and Zaza will take us to the next level.

First 17 shots on target and dominating the match.. Then a 2-2 in the last iffing second while dominating the second half.. Then an unfair red card while playing better overall.. Then CR scores making us pay for the first mistake we make (martin's pass) (think how many teams don't pay till the 3ed or 4th mistake) in a match where we also played very well in the first half but Iker was a god then.. Then a win.. Then when we had a chance to redeem and were in our best form, game stops and we play somewhere you can't even pass the ball to your teammate..
Only out of respect I won't say that word that makes you sick..

Against well organised European teams, even ones who have a piss poor defensive record, we look so toothless in attack.
It's obviously not the personel, players half as good as ours seem to be able to smash goals past Gala and Copenhagen. It's the system
I won't yet again list all of the faults with 3-5-2 but if I could pick one thing i'd like to hear Conte explain it would be why we field an extra CB only to have said CB join our attacks. First of all, the CB is obviosuly going to be shit in the final 3rd, 2nd of all. If you want an extra man up there, why a CB?
Might aswell play 3-5-1-1 just to fit Storari in behind the striker.

Good to see that people share my concerns
Hearing commentators on our game is pretty upsetting
They first talk about how bad our oppositions defensive records are, then they proceed to hype Tevez & Co. up, then they just sit there in utter disbelief as our team fail to create more than 2 clear cut chances in 90 minutes against teams fresh from being humiliated in their own league.
