Watched the first half.
Wasn't terribly interesting.
How good Juve looked at different points through the half was largely down to how well the forwards were doing at the time. Tevez and Vucinic started terribly - not taking up good positions, trying fancy flicks instead of just taking the ball in and generally not retaining the ball long enough for Juve to get their wingbacks and midfield runners up into good positions.
Once Tevez and Vucinic got their act together and started to retain possession, Juve looked alright.
Defensively, I thought Chiellini and Caceres were making it too easy for Inter to isolate Palacio one-on-on with Bonucci. One of them should have been back tighter to Bonucci at any given time. Since Chiellini was trying to get tight to Alvarez, Caceres is the one who really needed to be staying deeper and narrower.

People really need to stop talking about that formation thing.....as I said before, if your think there is a huge difference between 4-3-3 and 3-5-2, you certainly have never played in any of the mentioned systems yourself or dont know much about playing football. A change of style can happen if you just change the players, not the formation....
