I agree. However, I keep asking myself why Allegri keeps playing him. For his grinta? But his technical ability is so far behind, its simply not good enough. We didn't need grinta at that stage. We needed Kean. An attacking player. Then he is open and skies into row Z. To me, that was the straw that broke the camels back for me with respect to that player.
Obviously you can't just not bother for 30 mins in a game, when the opposition are giving everything. Deserved to lose. Second half reverted to average, in thanks because Genoa settled for counters.
Haven't seen such shite for a while, but can't say I didn't expect a loss of sorts at some point. We are always worst when our foot goes off the gas, and they have probably been believing their own hype with all this talk of points and records all week. They embarrassed themselves first half, it's as simple as that. I didn't expect to see almost half a match where a Juve team couldn't be bothered to compete.
This lethargy is all too common these days, I keep saying that it's hard to snap out of it when you need to. We can't turn up and expect everyone to be terrified of us, and now thanks to this result and performance you will see a lot more teams having a go. Atalanta and Torino next, these boys better pull their fingers out of their asses because that lead of ours can be thrown away in a second.

What a luxury to be in a league where even after losing like that, our nearest competitor is 4 points away and they have exactly 0 chance of winning the league - best of all? our "competitors" know it.
Euromaxxers, what do you have to lose if he's gone? We aren't winning CL now, and we'll continue winning Serie A after he leaves.
China is coming, this won't last long. We need to move now whilst we can.

5 key issues from today's game
1) We can't defend
2) Our central midfield needs 2 high energy ball winners to support Pjanic (Vidal/Pogba)
3) Our strikers are isolated and Mandzukic isn't good enough
4) We need to review our fitness/medical staff as I can't remember the last game where we didn't have to sub off an injury
5) We have no game plan

This result goes far away from a physical condition after UCL and a lot of mistakes in the defense. A MF with Khedira-Hernanes-Pjanic have not physical presence against high tempo-pressing MF.
So defense mistakes, overrun MF and weird choices like JGC left or Alves in the middle, Mandzo missing clear chances and the result is just obvious
