1) we played the same players vs atalanta and probably the same players vs roma. With this kind of depth we should've rotate more before big games.
2) classic juve. A lot of possession, lack of creativity especially in midfield
Let focus on roma now. There will be an international break before next CL game. Probably pirlo and barzagli are already back by then.

In this type of game, we really missed Pirlo tonight.
I also think its time to drop Llorente. He has been terrible so far this season. Morata must be wondering if I can't get minutes when he is playing like that, Imagine he was in decent form.
Until the goal, this match was quite terrible but no-one would say that either team deserved to win. Can't really blame anyone for the goal other than I wonder where Evra was because the guy making the cross seemed to have all the time in the world.
Allegri made his subs too late. It was clear that Llorente should have been subbed way earlier in the match.

Scrappy game, should have been a 0-0 we didn't create anything and they scored with their only chance.
I have read all last season what a great team Athletico is but we matched them. We need to be more like them in Europe, Italian teams used to be the masters at winning cheap free-kicks and frustrating the other team, no it seems teams do it to us.
As usual we get the OTT comments on here that it was embarrassing but we showed that we really weren't far off the team that got to the CL final.
The Malmo result is a huge one, the group is wide open which always seems to be the case for us. We need a minimum of 4 points from the Olympiakos games.

We had more of the ball but the game was pretty even IMO
0-0 would be the right result
I think Giovinco shouldnt have got the yellow in the end and after it he was fouled so maybe a penalty but it doesnt really matter as in reality he got nothing
I wonder where is Coman and why he isnt used anymore
Pirlo`s brilliance was missed for sure!
We are missing a superstar in attack and a great CB in order to really compete in the CL
I guess Atletico and Juve will qualify but we are still missing some players in order to really compete in order to win it
0-0 would be the right result

we did good, but that ref... 
I hope that allegri can learn from this game.
For such games when the defense is tight, don't bother trying to play a target man or any other amauri-ish players. Put in giovinco and at least he will win fouls, and hopefully get dirty defenders sent off. The chances of a lousy ref being convinced that giovinco's fall is real is greater than that of a llorente' fall.

We weren't allowed to do more. No substitution would have changed this fact. Their stamina is out of this world. The discipline in their play is admiring. They have excellent footballers, but not world class ones. Their results are about physical preparation and discipline.
I actually enjoyed the game. One can rarely see so much motivation and passion in the 2nd round of the group stage. It felt like a knockout match with so much at stake.
