Oh, and I thought it was a mistake to change to 4-3-1-2.
If you are pushing for a goal, you don't deprive yourself of width like that. Would be different if Juve weren't playing Barzagli at right-back, but at the moment they do need to play with a winger on that side.
No issue with Pereyra coming on for Cuadrado, but Pereyra should have stayed wide.
What you ended up with was only Zaza trying to stretch the game and Pereyra and Dybala trying to play in a small space that was easy to close down because of the lack of width.
And with Zaza having to work to create the space, there was little chance of him being in the box if something was created.

Juve was pretty good in taking our game away and actually doing everything to not give us any space, as soon as we had the ball.
On top of it, we weren't good offensively and produced quite a few unnessecary turnovers going forward, which didn't allow as anything at all on offense.
Yeah, it wasn't a good performance from Gladbach.
I didn't even think they defended particularly well, even though many people will assume they did since they didn't concede.
Their midfield allowed Juve too many counter-attacking chances, even though Juve wasted them.
The defence just had to be okay because they weren't really put under much pressure because of how poor Juve's final ball was.
