Good point, Bayer lost too. Hope Dai and JCK aren't too depressed.
Team improving overall and learning the ropes as you'd expect. One good half against Parma, 60 good mins Napoli, 90 good mins from open play in this game but set piece defending issues remain - nothing else to add to that; needs to be sorted quick.
Once they have Sarrismo under belt fully (don't expect Napoli version but something more suited to this team: something in between Chelsea 2nd half and Napoli), Ramsey is able to start over Khedira, DC is back and Dybala plays F9 in certain games, expect rise in stock once again.

Its obvious that Atletico are weaker this year. I would be surprised if we dont finish first
. I`m also confident that in a k.o. phase we can eliminate them.
However this leaves a bitter taste for me. A big win is within the grasp and we let it slip away.
It seems like the game vs Crapoli wasnt a warning call after all

We had 3 and they had 5. The stats tonight are similar. They also gave us possession tonight. They do to all teams. It’s not the point, though. Our defending is the epitome of a mess right now.
I don’t Care how boring you people found Allegri’s style. With him we looked much better in defense from the beginning of every season. Also his first season.

Allegri would've played to not lose for sure. Good chance of never going 1-0 up.
Usually it paid off, bit sometimes, we conceded in 85th minute and it backfired. Plus, no need to play it safe against weaker opponent or take foot off the gas vs stronger ones like Real and Bayern when you have them on the ropes.
2nd half approach today was a refreshing change.

Fair score, I like that we get only a point instead of 3, a Ronaldo goal at 94th minute wont draw that attention to the problem like now. Its just a group game, the first and the hardest one, Leverkusen and Loko M are a joke, and finishing first isn't really an advantage anymore, still we should win our group, we are superior to the other 3 teams.
When we meet Atletico in Turin we should be in a very good shape with upgraded starting 11 so it wont be that hard to beat them, again. Work on set pieces and finishing, our decision making in dangerous counters kinda sucks, those two Danilo and Higuain shots instead of finding Ronaldo in clear position is why we failed to win tonight...

I was mad as hell after that game. Trust me. But it also trigger me that we give so many chances away. And with the Napoli game in mind, this is not acceptable. I don’t care how great it is to see a team with great fluid attack. If the defense i like we have seen so far, it’s just as bad as the “boring” football we sometimes saw last season.
It's unfair to compare this defense, with a defense with Chiellini's presence.
It is a well known fact that Bonucci does not defend. So we are practically expecting everything from a young boy who just arrived.
(despite his errors, statistics claim, he cleared the ball, 50% more times, than Bonucci)
We will see in time, if our defense got better or not.
