We held possession and were lame in attack once again. This is what I am complaining about. I said before the game that if Tevez gets man marked we will have trouble, I was laughed at and mocked that we have players like Lichtsteiner, Asamoah, Pogba and Pereyra who are able to do that. Reality is that only Pogba matters and we all saw that a moment of magic from Pogba and surprise surprise Tevez got us the three points.
But no, I have to be called pessimist and my opinion has to be laughed at. And cunts like Zacheryah tells me that people don't like me because of comments I make like "Roma would have been three goals up against this Milan". Even though it hasn't happened, it is most likely to happen and come back at me when it doesn't happen. We are a very strong team but we suffer a lot in attack and we are very much dependant on Tevez. It's not the first time a Juventus team slowly and gradually becomes reliant on one single player and this is what some members have been asking for in the summer, a signing that can really make a difference. Pereyra and Romulo are not.

Milan was about as organized in defense as they've been all season. And yet the outcome was rarely in doubt. This was a great match to watch with Asif in SF's Italien North Beach, next to some Milanisti, where Juve showed they were the bigger dog and Milan had no real response. :strong:
Much stronk.
Pogba MoM with Tevez a close second. While mostly silent in the first half playing deep, he beasted up front in the second half.

I agree that Tevez and Pogba are world beaters; players who truly make a difference in our team. In my opinion, we have 4 such players: Tevez, Pogba, Vidal and Pirlo.
Two of them were out today, and we had to rely on the other two. And they delivered.
But with that said, we have a bunch of other players who are very, very good and who contribute immensely into making this Juve into the well-oiled winning machine that it currently is. Yes, moments of brilliance must come down to the truly world class attacking players, but we shouldn't take anything away from what we did as a team either.
Players like Lichtsteiner, Marchisio, Pereyra, Asamoah etc. did their jobs very well today, and they helped in other facets of the game: keeping the pressure up, defending, workrate, winning duels etc.
As for "lame in attack", I don't agree with this assessment. We were good at shifting the play from left to right, from right to left, attacking through the middle etc. We came up against a Milan that parked the bus for 90 minutes! They were extremely difficult to break down tonight. But we kept at it, kept creating, kept knocking on their door until we finally found that opening.
Bonucci of all people was put clean through on goal in the first half, and so was Lllorente. Marchisio had a couple of great opportunities, one of which hit the post. Pereyra came really close as well.
I mean, what more do you expect at the San Siro against a defensive minded Milan that parked the bus?
