If we performed better today by creating more chances and scoring more goals we would win against Galatasaray on Wednesday, and also today.

Under the assumption that we would score? Who is to say we would have? Maybe we tried to launch an attack and Torino sprung us on the counter? Should not try and make assumptions in football mate - that has a tendency to bite you in the arse.
Don't try and patronise we with "welcome to football". Low.

Well we did test him when we...umm...scored a goal?

I didn't assume anything. You were upset with our performance because we sat on a lead. I said if the goal didn't count we would have continued to press on and *tried* to score.
The other team had no shots so obviously half of our performance was at its best capability, you know, the defensive half.

I'm actually very happy with our defense - always have been - apart from the 4 consecutive weeks we conceded the first goal. Although, that is because we haven't been pressing for the 1st goal ourselves.
My issue is our midfield and attack being able to fashion very few genuine chances regardless of the score. I'm unhappy at the fact that our 2 latest "wins" are due to incorrect officiating. We should be putting these sides away by more than 1 goal.
Anyway, we're both happy with a 5-1-0 start to the season, though we just have different expectations of what this side should be achieving.
"welcome to football" and ",you know, the defensive half" is patronising, though. We support the same team, remember? Try and at least keep it constructive.

If we had one game a year then no. I'd expect balls to the wall, 10 goals a game.
If we play every 3 days and have a CL game upcoming shortly, this performance today would be slightly under our potential. Our potential today was probably a 2-0 or 3-0 win taking everything into account, even resting and rotating.
We chose the easy way today which was to score a goal and then not concede a shot on net which should, in theory, help keep us energized enough to actually play to our potential against Gala.

I don't think any side hits their full potential, but simply, we are nowhere near it. That's the issue.
Conte has had the bulk of this squad for a while, some of whom are world class in their positions, so we should have high expectations.
I have no doubt we'll get there, although we still have plenty of work to do to improve and get past knockout of CL.

all those european teams la liga teams, epl teams, bayern etc, even galatasaray and kopenhagen must be very very very tired to death when they face us and let vucinic solo walk dribble to their goal and get us to win 90-0 due to them not able to even crawl on the pitch due to extreme fatigue because all of them always seem to run much more than us without resting 24/7 in their league.
so how isn't the reality like that?

We concede the least amount of shot attempts in all of European football, let alone shots on goal. We have highest possession in Italy, highest pass completion%, highest shots on goal.
We have 5th most possession in all of Europe, more than Real Madrid who plays in Spain. We have 4th highest shots on goal per game in all of Europe.
We are not scraping by here.
The *slight* issue is we've been somewhat unlucky with converting chances, especially vs. FCK and Inter and Chievo. Today was the first real time where we didn't absolutely assault the opponent's goal. But at the same time, today we did not concede a shot. So there was an obvious choice to pull back.
