We set our formation to play for 0:0 and we keep playing like that after we conceded.
Really good formation if you want to close spaces, but absolutely awful formation if you want to score.
All the so called chances, including the goal, came after corner kicks. Everything else was bad, from both teams, not just Juve.

Absolutely.
But that corner had a lot to do with marking set pieces and this year we're really bad at that. It was probably our main strength in the last 2 years but this year it's one of our main weaknesses and I don't know if Cannavaro and Grosso have something to do with it or it's Ferrara's fault (or a mixture of both).
But during play we did close them down well and it must be admitted. I didn't even notice Dinho while Beckham was allowed to make only one single cross (excluding set-pieces). Pirlo and Ambro were also neutralized and Gattuso had the ball a lot.
But it was absolutely useless when you know that we can't even come close to their box from open play.
Cowardly indeed. And it will be even more cowardly if Ciro keeps the same formation when it's obvious that it won't work attacking-wise

But that's the thing. Either way, they're going to score. So the answer is not more defense, not more players behind the ball, but actually trying to go out there and win the game for real. Milan's defense isn't something spectacular; they have Antonini and Abate as fullbacks for Christ's sake.
Second half underway.
