The lack of plan B is frustrating.

Every team that sits back against us are faced with us going side to side and hoping for Yildiz or Conceicao to pull something off. It is so slow and so predictable that it is very easy to play against. It's almost like a worse version of how Man City played against us.

We need to lift the speed of passing and stop being so careful every time with the ball. There are areas where you can risk losing the ball.

I've been most disappointed that at Bologna the team was so good for players moving off the ball and interchanging positions. We saw it a bit in the first few games but it seems to have largely vanished. Today we had about a 5 minute spell where Koop and Yildiz starting doing it but then it stopped other than Gatti and Kalulu both having one run each towards the box.

I'm just waiting on his post match analysis. Like he said before the game, sitting away from the bench he will see things that he can't while on the bench. Now hopefully he's learnt what isn't going well, atleast in terms of positioning. I mean we all see it, I'm hoping he gets there too. It's painful, but in part we have some players who just don't understand what wearing this shirt means. However against a broken and depressed city they did. Well tonight we learnt Venezia are not broken, time to roll up them socks. I'll give him till march before I give up.

Yeah there is plenty of time for Motta to fix up things.

Motta on McKennie and Koopmeiners:"I see them train every day, and this is the best position as I am the coach. Then they have the freedom to move around and create difficulties for the opponents."

Thiago Motta: "The fans have the right to express their dissatisfaction but patience is also needed. The players are the first ones who want to change the situation. These things happen—it’s not the first time, and it won’t be the last. We need to stay united and work together to turn things around."

If that is his best position, we are screwed. He aint good enough, doesnt have enough flair or pace for more advanced midfield role. Further more, Yildiz is moved to the left to accommodate Koop who is not delivering.

Patience is running out. This is Juventus, not Bologna. Start turning this around quickly.

I hate his post match talk.

What I've read is pretty passive, dismissive and words like " we don't want to stay where we are, we went to improve". Well said captain obvious.

Personally I was expecting him to blow his fuse, or say I can see where it's going wrong, or something like we got some urgent work to do, or we are too timid. Anything to ignite a bit of responsibility and ownership. Disappointing, there is a lack of urgency.

I'm really hoping it's a tactic to shun the press, protect his team, while in the background he tells them what he really thinks, because what's between them is all that matters.

This was the 4th draw in a row in the league, last 3 of which were against Lecce, Bologna and Venezia, whereas some of the other earlier draws were also against the likes of Parma, Empoli and Cagliari… there is an obvious pattern here.

Are we finally gonna miss out on the CL places? I fear so.

Very unlikely in my opinion, reaching a UCL place is still comfortably within our reach because luckily the level of Serie A and the consistency of our direct competitors for 3rd/4th spot is not that fearsome either.

What’s even more annoying though is that we pretty much lost all the momentum and confidence that we gained from the City win, which makes me now quite certain that we again won’t be putting in any sort of challenge for the Scudetto despite still having more than plenty of games remaining and not that big of a points difference to recover from, but there’s just no urgency or belief within this team.

Midtable and relegation teams don't play attacking football against us - that's not fair!

but if they don't play attacking football, how have they managed to score all these goals vs juve then?

aside from the 0-0 draw vs napoli every other team has scored a goal or more vs juve
