Yeah and people want a lot of changes after 1 questionable result against difficult adversary, a lot of dubious ref calls, lack of luck and seriously Atalantas 2nd goal was outstanding. You cant defend that.... we had our chances, he set the team up in a way for us to dominate game, create opportunities, but as already said games like these happen. 
Which blunder did he make tonight? Well we didnt have issues since he I guess locked that left side down... He didnt offer much upfront that I agree with.

We can't score three or four goals every match it is time we tightened up our defence
Our defense is a bit shaky this year and I dont think Bonucci leaving has much to do with it. He was prone to making a lot of errors due to his lapses in concentration. We needed to adress this better during the summer. But maybe we didnt think it was that important having in mind Caldara's arrival next season. My impression so far is that we dont look as composed and organized at the back but we had that issue in the last few seasons as well in our opening games.

Allegri: 'VAR only objective issues'
By Football Italia staff
Max Allegri admits Juventus were afraid of losing their 2-2 draw with Atalanta, but thinks VAR “should only be used on objective situations.”
The Bianconeri had been 2-0 up in Bergamo after 25 minutes through Federico Bernardeschi and Gonzalo Higuain, but Mattia Caldara and Bryan Cristante completed the comeback.
“It was a good performance in terms of technical passing and intensity, it seemed comfortable, then we conceded that goal on a free kick to shake things up,” Allegri told Mediaset Premium.
“In the end, it actually went well for us, because we got irritable and risked losing it on the counter. It’s disappointing because we conceded two goals.
“We should’ve been better prepared on the free kick for the rebound, while on the second goal we gave the ball away too much and it was a fine header from Cristante. I was worried at the end, as we could’ve lost it on an incident and every point will be precious come the end of the season.”
This was Bernardeschi’s first start for Juve and he crowned it with a goal and an assist.
“Federico had a good game, he hadn’t played for a while. In a big team, you need to work in defence too, but I am very happy with his performance.”
The game was dominated by VAR – video assistant referees – as Mario Mandzukic saw his goal disallowed because of a Stephan Lichtsteiner elbow on Papu Gomez, then in the final minutes Juve received a contentious penalty, which Etrit Berisha saved from Paulo Dybala.
“If we want football to be a sport that is no longer a sport, then use VAR on every incident. However, if we get to March where every point becomes decisive, then games can last three or four hours,” moaned Allegri.
“In my view, technology should only be used on objective situations – offside, in or out of the box, over the line or not – but when it comes to subjective situations, people are never going to agree. That’s sport.
“The referee can give a penalty or not, that’s his decision. Otherwise when we get to more complicated games, we’ll end up like American Football where there are constant stoppages and we sit there eating nuts until the match ends at midnight. It’s the same in basketball.
“I am not saying this is a penalty and that isn’t. That’s not the point. I simply believe it should be used for objective and not subjective decisions.”

When you have players getting injured in warmup then yeah, I think its same to say its OK to complain about muscle injuries because I don't think playing everyday, for example, was why Pjanic got injured.

Max really doesn't have a clue on how to organize an attack. Any manager who knows his stuff about the attacking part of football could have seen that Mandzukic and Asamoah means absolutely zero threat on the left side. He just sits there and lets the players figure it out for themselves.
Also, we should always play a 3 man midfield against every team that doesn't park the bus.

How do you get injured during warmup, though...I mean, an injury that keeps you out for an entire month?

But Asa doesn't even try.
As far as the last portion of your post...that's one of the 2 benefits of Mandzukic...his defensive contribution which we didn't need today on that side and his back post runs...other than that, we had zero ability on the left to actually beat a defender. Atalanta had little to think about all game until that disallowed goal.

You can't even question Alex Sandro's benching with hindsight. Obviously he was rested because something is barking at him or he looked slow in training or whatever. But if I told you before the match we would rest him and all we need is Dybala to convert a penalty, everyone would take that option. If there's even a 5% chance that you overwork Alex Sandro and are left with ASAMOAH for 1-2 months, you cannot take that risk.
We have a 2 week international break where Sandro obviously isn't going to start for Brazil. He NOW HAS 3 weeks to rest.
So, yeah...in this case, with Atalanta one of the trickiest teams to play against home or away I'd have definitely played him ESPECIALLY since we were away and knowing Mario isn't a creative player.
If playing Asa a so called "safe option" was the intention then Max should have played with a player more creative than Mario.
Put simply, Asa & Mario was a poor poor pairing for a tricky match. This wasn't Chievo or SPAL. Atalanta is a genuinely good team.

If Rugani sucks, then the likes of Benatia and Sturaro should stop playing football altogether.
