A bit of rotation months earlier would have helped the first teamers. We had plenty of opportunities to do this. No excuses there.

Again, why the fuck would I care?
Getting a result away to the second place team in the league is never what you plan your scudetto hopes on. You win the scudetto by putting yourself in the position where you don't need a result in away games like Roma and Napoli near the end of the season. You beat them at home and win more than they do against the minnows.
This was an entirely meaningless match. We just beat Monaco midweek in the CL semis to seal our spot in the final with a fantastic performance. We have a Coppa Final against Lazio in 3 days. Our coach, our management, our players all knew this was a match to float by with the bare minimum and try to sneak a result. It obviously failed but no one should be all that bothered because we have won when it matters and are 4 points up with 2 matches against the 18th place team and 14th place team left.
Stop trying to act like being pissed about this result is rational. It isn't. It doesn't affect our season in the slightest. We took 7 of 12 points in matches against Roma and Napoli. Roma took 6. Napoli took 4.
If we lose the scudetto it's because of catastrophic failures against Crotone and Bologna. This match result means nothing, even more so considering the two midweek matches surrounding it. Expected performance and result.

Fucking hell didn't think I'd be nervous about the league title right now a few weeks ago 
There's no excuse if we don't manage to win the thing, but losing it has actually became a scarily real possibility
Crotone will be difficult af to beat, they're in the form of their lifetime right now & we'll come in knackered from the final. And if we don't win there, it's all coming down to Bologna & everything can happen in a single game...

Crotone in turin. Not an away game. Not difficult as fuck to beat. Easy to beat. Would be an incredible failure to draw or lose that match. The chances of us losing the scudetto are about 1%.
Man, people have gone full overboard pathetic.
We put ourselves in the position to be able to lose this match with far more important matches surrounding it. And that was obvious from the lineup, the tactics, and the players effort on the pitch.
You think we'll see this lack of effort at home against Crotone with scudetto on the line?
Same meltdown after Buffon's mistake that almost let Milan back into the scudetto race in 2012. And look how we reacted to that.
And it's possible we lose both games and end up in 3rd. We could be up 30 points with 11 rounds left and lose a scudetto because it's a real possibility according to this inane logic. your basically just saying that you haven't won the scudetto until you have. Obvious.
Crotone's form of their life has seen them beat Inter, Samp, Chievo, Udinese. All teams with nothing to play for in the middle of the table. They haven't beaten or even drawn a top team in this streak. The two matches prior to it against Napoli and Viola were losses.

17 points in the last 7 matches for Crotone,they are fighting to survive and Sunday will play with 11 defenders,forget the bus they will park the train. Don't jinx it.
"Real possibility" is just an absurd way to put it. One could say it became a very slim possibility today, but he's making it sound like it's a 50/50 whether we don't win either of our two games
All because we lost Roma after destroying Monaco in the CL semis. I'm sure our heads were in this meaningless game.
As I said. And Allegri has said, and Conte has said, and Gigi has said... you don't lose the scudetto by splitting home/away with the second place team in the league. You lose it if you can't beat the minnows. Like Crotone (18th) and Bologna (14th). If we can't beat those teams we don't deserve the scudetto. Losing to 2nd away is pretty normal.
