Finally, back after a long absence! My thoughts about the game echo most of yours---we have been having the same "lack of passion", slow, robotic game over the past 2 years where we seem to think that we just need to show up, knock the ball across the back four, jog up an down the pitch, and then we win the game. Ridiculous. The only times I see this team pressing opponents up and down the pitch and playing with any type of intensity is in the so-called big CL games, or in the occasional derbies.

No point winning 3 points against Inter or Juve, and then losing it against Lecce, Bologna, or Palermo. If we want to ever win the Scudetto again, what we need is consistency, winning pretty, winning ugly, but fighting in every game for the 3 points. We have just shot ourselves in the foot massively with this game.
