We were under huge pressure. Seriously, I was surprised we nearly didn't give away any big chances. It was only fucking three minutes and our defenders decided to act like noobs.

still, i think he is one of the best. people need to remember how we started this season with self destructed team. this kind of matches is always tricky. you can be unlucky with your tactics. this is football. but speaking about consistency. man this guy is really that good. imagine us winning without marchisio chiellini dybala. it would have been legendary result. i say yes he did mistakes specially first match. but i like this guy and he can outsmart any coach in the world.
It may not be the way it panned out, but his intention of the sub was to keep another player chasing the ball and keep up the press. I would've personally preferred Zaza for this, but Allegri probably went with Mandzus experience. That apart, for all we know, he subbed Morata for fear of his getting a red chasing down those balls and getting into a couple of altercations. In hindsight, questionable sub, but I'm not getting why people are blaming him for the Khedira sub. Clear as day the guy was finished.
Thats not true man.
We had Morata playing separated from the team, wich caused great problems for bayern. If they pushed high, he would win the race for the ball and he's able to controll it and score. So they stayed deeper, and he'd still controll and lay off to supporting players.
We needed to do this, in order to keep their press away.
When morata went off, we should have fielded a substitute who did exactly the same. Instead, mandzukic came on, all danger for the counter over the defence was gone, so neuer played sweeper and the defence moved 30 meters forward and we got effectively in the press
khedira's ball retention going out for a weak sturaro, and a magnificent cuadrado going out for a bleak pereyra obviously didnt help, but we had no choise

Say what you will, I would t blame Allegri tonight, and just the fact that he's got half you people so gutted for 'losing like this' without 3 game changing starters is an achievement in itself. He pulled that formation out of his ass overnight, and was two minutes away from eliminating one of the top two clubs in Europe. Some respect for that. Please.
