Terrible result considering that Inter is in Free fall, and we are playing at home, but the performance was okay. There is an element of chaos and haste when the team goes forward. Its rushed and panicked rather than methodic and confident. I am glad we are starting to play more offensively but there is still a ways to go.
Hopefully no complaints about Max preparing/managing tonight. Every statistic ad other than goals was Juve's. Liked the way they played but once again one mental error hurt them. Morata this time but if not him Sandro would have gotten the penalty. Rabiot I thought played well but continually giving Sandro a chance to start is death.
Max really has to consider giving a few youngsters a chance next season. Doesn't appear Juve will have plenty of money to spend so Max needs to coach up some guys. Other than the stupid goals given up, believe defense has done a better job of preventing wide open space counters against them. Only given up 27 so far and if any luck 20+ goal difference could be 30+.

3 main problems that plagued this club for long when it comes to attacking :
1. Little to no 1-2 passes that can confuses defenders
2. Little to no dynamic players that can dribble the ball forward to threaten the defenders and force them to make mistakes especially in the middle of the field (and left wing) not just Cuadrado on the right wing.
3. Little to no threatening off the ball movements from our players when attacking that can take advantage from the other 2 points mentioned in the above.

I was actually impressed with how Allegri fielded the team today. That’s a lot of attacking players, for him. We played pretty well for a while and made some chances, but other than Chiellini’s masterpiece poke over the bar, nothing was really clear cut.
But that’s super great how Allegri finally decided to throw the whole Arsenal at the opposition the past couple games, when we really don’t have anything else to lose. He should have been doing this the entire season, but no, he can’t, because he’s too obsessed with conceding. Maybe that’s why his players can’t score? Surely conceding is more important to him than movement, because many times it’s just stationary shit when other sides sit back.
But this effort is too little, too late for me, and only compounds my opinion that this guy just isn’t comfortable setting up an attacking game. I’m sure we’ll be back to the ridiculously conservative approach next season, you know, once we actually have something to play for again.

Max has to consider coaching to a well defined system with a consistent playing style and then tweak from there. When the strikers become accustomed to repeated movements and combinations the chances will feel less like a collective improv and more like a methodical breaking down of defenses and the strikers will have an easier time finishing.
Reduce improvisation, allow muscle memory to do most of the work for wasteful players. Youngsters would be even more lost if we are constantly switching strategy.

We play pragmatic football and win and the Allegri haters turn up in this thread complaining about his boring football.
We play adventurous, dominate a game and lose and the Allegri haters are back to complain we don’t win.
Substance over style all day long. Yesterday illustrates even further that this group of players doesn’t have the cutting edge to play on the front foot and break teams down the way Man City, Liverpool or Bayern can.

These teams have a clear idea of football drilled into their players from day 1 and is reflected in their recruitment for years now.
Teams don't suddenly pick up Tiki taka football in one or two matches. They practice it again and again until they get good at it. They build a transfer strategy around it and iterate until it gets really good. Teams that keep switching approaches from one game to the next end up like Ole's United.
We are not any good at pragmatic football judging by how this season has gone. We now play pragmatic football and don't win.

Obviously it needs to be built, but like you said it can’t be built in a season and we do not have the personnel to play front foot. We only have a right side when attacking. Fairly simple for our opponents to stifle us.
We played a year under Sarri trying to play that style and as the season progressed we regressed.
The transfer strategy and constant changes don’t help, that’s why this summer we have to build around Allegri
