But the general play of our team we take couple of seconds to decide whom to pass when we are pressed by the Ajax players I felt we missed mandzukic today I know he is not in great form we missed his hold up play

Ajax beat the crap out of Real as well. Current generation are extremely good. You can pin the blame on whomever you please, but the fact is, we got outplayed in every segment. Our players have always looked like second best, losing duels all over the place. It was frustrating to watch how awful we looked.
This. This is what annoys me, the fucking delusion. We had a GOAT and we thought we can walk past Ajax. We escaped an Atletico, we barely played half decent football and that's me being kind. Yet the results came and the delusion grew. We play outdated football and truly are the old lady that needs some plastic surgery if we ever fucking want to see that trophy ever again. I wouldnt have been upset if we at least found a way to play against this Ajax but we were totally humiliated even though (yet again) the result never looks bad. Extremely disappointed but I'll be fine maybe in a week but us fans don't deserve this, really don't.

our players looked like Zombies! bar the first 30mins.
Then in the second half we simply gave up pressing and Ajax with the quality they have they could whatever they wanted.
If they shooted to the goal instead of always passing in our small penalty area they could've easly win 4-1 in Amsterdam and replicate.
Real had a bad game/season at home but they won 3-1 in Amsterdam.
We never came close to anything.
Tell me if we ever managed to shoot to the goal in 2 games!! we simply never did and had 2 headers.
THATS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! not creating any chances in 180mins.
IF we had a third of the chances they created we would have scored 5-6 goals. easly.
We simply coudn't do anything in attack. While you claim we beat them in every position...

Not having Mandzukic and Chiellini was a game decider.
With Mandzukic we had the edge to just long pass it over the defence and be dangerous from there. While with Chiellini, that second goal never ever happens, and you actually can play more seated back.
So we havent. Fine.
Ajax will press and their fullbacks will doubke/triple up all the time.
- Playing De Sciglio is idiotic. He stays deep so they come and so do crosses. Hello Rugani.
- Playing Dybala is idiotic too. He needs the ball played out to him, but everyone is very deep. If he was in big form and able to hold a ball, it might be a lil different
What we needed, was a way to make sure they kill themselves when overcommitting all the time. Cancelo, Sandro, Kean, Berna on the wings. Keep at any time 2 high and make one other double up. If Ajax keeps their backs high ? Fine. Have cancello run at your centrebacks with space and ronaldo diving in there
With 2 players high whenever we recover there are always 2 targets to go for, and with aggressive pressing behind them in case ajax recovers, we are right on the second ball. Matuidi makes sense in that regard
We however didnt do any of that. Sit back with little counter threat and force ronaldo to drop off all the time.

I honestly don't know what the problem is.
I actually still rate Allegri highly but we have to look at why we failed.
Is it because the midfield and defence isn't strong enough? Probably. Who is at fault for that? Marotta? Is Allegri satisfied by it.
Are we too far ahead in Serie A that we lose all intensity? Possibly. But surely Allegri should encourage the team to thrash teams instead or energy conserving.
Is Allegri not implementing enough tactics going forward? Probably, we seem incapable of playing through the middle.
