I agree. I just dont think scoring goals is a sure sign to winning long term. You really need a lot of things and I do think that our biggest issue with scoring goals this season is the amount of space we were giving up in the midfield and the lack of ability to commit guys forward has been a major issue. Mckinnie solved some of it with the work rate but we are now unbalanced in a differnt way.
For those that listen to Gabriel Marcotti and Juliens Lauren podcast show, they gave a good analysis yesterday on our defeat with some hard truths. Some we've already read on here, others were actually interesting and insightful.

This lost has effectively ended the footballing season for us Juve fans.
Good to use the free time to research on which club has the integrity for us to support after CR7 leaves.
Or actually, could also signal the end for us as football fans. Real Football is turning into an extremely boring sports theses days. Fifa and PES games are more exciting. MMA is more exciting. Curling is also more exciting than watching khedira play football

They started off speaking about Ronaldo, his performance and mainly his market value as in who will take him on his salary, very few and theres a chance he might stay out his contract.
Then they talk about the game in more details, they spoke about how the first 45 mins our players were terrified, slow and tentative, De Ligt confirming this in post match.
A dig on our motto 'winning isn't everything'. - which someone mentioned on this forum, how we need to look long and hard at the type of vocabulary we use at this club. They spoke about how the old style no longer works
Then they talk about the project, how Artur can't pass fast, they made it out to be that actually were not in too bad position in terms of players, in their opinion they think most positions were ok other than midfield. They think if we need to replace Pirlo it has to be someone with a similar profile and modern style football and not going backwards to someone like Allegri. Supposedly there's plenty of exciting young German managers out there.
They spoke about Porto CB Mbemba how he mentioned in post match they watched several videos of Juve and the freekick, they knew about it, they knew Juve jump and have noone behind in distant freekick, supposedly Sergio practised several times in training.
Again, a lot of this we knew but for me it was just interesting to see the level our opposition can go to, looking into every detail in trying to beat us. Of course getting a freekick in that position might not happen but they were looking at ways. We've just become so predictable. The vocabulary is important but that's a sensitive subject, marketing indirectly has made us soft.
Them of the opinion on sticking to the project was also interesting I mean in hindsight it makes sense chopping and changing would set us back even further but even if we do it has to be a modern style coach with some experience.
I listened to serie Awesome podcast with Mina rzouki and Nicky bandini, which was a pretty decent listen and the consensus from everyone I heard on there and the podcast I summarised was that Ronaldo may not have turned up but they insisted he was not the problem. Again obvious but was interesting to see them all defend him.
