We tried to actually press them, and scored. After conceding that weird goal everything went down to shit. Second half was just huff and puff.

Cross, cross, cross. Our one tactic apparently. So many times when we chase a game we lose all composure and tactics.
The lineup was disjointed. We had so much space down the right in the first half but didn't have the players to take advantage.
How many times have Dybala/Ronaldo/Berna been on the pitch together? How many times has Dybala played as a false 9 for us? You reap what you sow, if you don't try out formations/ personnel, you can't throw it together in your biggest game and expect it to work.

been watching juve for long time
never saw us outplayed like this it was awful to watch they make us look like playing parma level
the one thing i`m sure of it is Pjanic need to go we can build our team on guy like this he will never stood up
and we should thank and Szczesny without him this will end up 4 or 5 for ajax

Well that was probably one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a Juve side. And yes, Ajax are excellent, completely fearless, they had nothing to lose and mentally it's two different outlooks, but we simply cannot play like that at home against anyone. In a CL QF, come on now...
Firstly, Bonucci-Rugani should never see the light of day again. Two central defenders who have zero aggression, who don't want to make tackles, and Bonucci who cannot make a defensive header. His effort on the De Ligt goal should be entered into a coaching manual on how not to make a defensive header. He's pathetic, and I repeat again we'll never win the CL with this assclown in defence, he's a joke. The pair can be sold and I'd be happy, honestly. Chiellini looks like a god when you see the difference he makes.
Midfield ended up killing us badly in this game. Even with a top midfield we'd have struggled but I've seen teams half as good as Ajax cause us all sorts of problems. Press Juve hard and we tend to lose. Pjanic panics and then disappears, and he doesn't have athleticism to cover. Emre Can and Matuidi are just legs but they can't do any attacking without the ball.
Out of form players - Dybala, Cancelo, Mandzukic, Alex Sandro, and invariably you get an ineffective performance from Bernardeschi. You can't carry so many vital players.
I feel sorry for Ronaldo as he's a class above, but it all came together badly for us here. I think it'll be a real turning point and you'll see change. We looked stale and legless, and this was a team who had a week's rest, Ajax didn't have that. I expect Allegri will probably hand his notice in once the season is over and we'll let him go this time.
Unbelievably bad technical performance, any pressure and we just kicked the ball anywhere. That kind of footballing philosophy makes you look as stupid as we did tonight.
All in all a shit end to a shit day.

A coach change will follow. Allegri invested himself 100% these last 5 years, put us back on the map, but failed to win the big ears, without any improvement in the last years. Now both him and the players are exhausted and a bit tired of each other. With a coach change, new players will come and we'll have to build a new team in the next 2 seasons.
Frankly, we were all getting bored with this Juve and I'm looking forward to the changes, even if they might cost us a scudetto.
