Nah if you look at our current games, there is always an opportunity where our striker takes a shot and defender/goalkeeper parry it right towards an on-rushing midfielder. Many times, that midfielder is Khedoin, because Pjanic stays back to dictate plays. I really dont see Khedoin having the power or technical ability to scoring long shots even though the keeper may be out of position.

Agree. I guess in recent years, parking the bus is no longer a useful way to defend leads, even mourinho has ditched it. I can think of many past games where we tried to park the bus against weaker teams and almost let them score (but they didnt due to their lack of quality.)
Having said that, Allegri has been managing leads very well recently. Bringing in attacking threats when defending a lead.

After our Bayern debale and the PSG fiasco, i think its pretty safe to assume that this tactic of "defending desperately" a lead almost never works. The mental pressure it creates on the defending team is unreal and it creates totally the opposite effect to the attacking team.
Allegri fuked it up royally by subbing morata who was our only countering treat...after that we panicked and started to defend with 11 men.
If you are going to defend a lead, you need to have countering players to prevent enemies attacking with their whole team, suffocating the midfield and nullifying the forwards. When that happens, a goal is almost inevitable.
For some strange reason being the incredibly successful side we are, some Juve fans have the most pathetic inferiority complex.
This utterly idiotic false equivalency between Bayern-Juve last year and Barca-PSG this year is disgusting.
The Bayern matches weren't a debacle, we didn't get blown out of the water and embarrassed badly. We played 2 matches to 2-2 draws in the 90 minutes and then ran out of steam in the extra time period. We didn't allow 3 goals in the last 10 minutes of the match while up 3-1. Bayern scored in the 73rd minute and in the 91st minute.
These were two fantastic 2-2 games of football between two excellent teams.
Not a 4-0 blowout in which Barca didn't show up and then the most pathetic 6-1 collapse ever, with Barca scoring 3 goals in the last 10 minutes.
People should be infracted for insulting our coach and players by implying any equivalency at all. It's disgusting.
