It has been a really poor performance by Juventus so far. I'm even surprised with how they are still not behind Inter by playing poorly. I didn't expect to see them like this after that big start to the season. I thought we started to have the old Juventus back but they are playing really badly against Inter now. They were much better in the first half.

But Juventus don't have even a single goal attempt in the whole second half while we are in the final moments of the game. There are goals by Vlahovic and Martinez and it is still 1-1. It was important for Vlahovic to make progress in one of the most important games of the season for Juventus. Because there has been a serious level of drop in his performance recently.
Juventus were very careful in carrying out attacks which they might have been able to do, after winning the lead and then Inter immediately replying, the Old Lady started to lower the tempo. I think it's difficult to develop in a match at such a high level, especially since Allegri has a bad record against Simone Inzaghi. This draw is certainly not very good for both of them because one additional point does not make a big difference in the standings, it's just that the positions of Juventus and Inter are getting closer to Milan and Napoli.

You are excessively harsh on Juventus, remember that they had five injured starters and that the strength of the team on paper is totally different. I am very satisfied with my team, this strategic draw helps a lot, Inter does not run forward but remains at the same distance.

The fans want victory in the derby match but we cannot change the final result, Juventus and Inter Milan played very carefully in building attacks in the first half and in the second half, because victory in this match could determine the standings in Serie A, with a score  In my opinion, a 1-1 draw is much more adequate than Juventus, even though they were hit by several players who suffered injuries, at least Juventus' standing still shadows Inter Milan.
I am quite sure that the competition at the top of the Serie A standings will be contested by just two clubs, Inter Milan and Juventus. I think Allegri squad was still lucky in yesterday derby match because they avoided defeat, because on paper Inter were better than them. Yesterday match looked too careful, monotonous and could be said to be boring, which is very natural I think because both of them wanted to secure their respective places and didn't want to lose points.

However, for me, Juventus is the only club that will be a big challenge for Inter this season, Milan and Napoli are considered unstable in pursuing their consistency at the top of the standings. However, with the busy schedule of clubs competing in the UCL, it should be an advantage for Juventus in catching up on points from Inter, they have more time to prepare and rest.

However, on the other hand, Juventus is said to not be able to get out of its problems completely, players are involved in gambling, doping and injuries. Meanwhile, at the management level and club officials, they are quite vulnerable to managing the club so that they no longer receive sanctions in the future. Apart from all that, for me Juventus could be a strong candidate to win the Scudetto if Inter focused more on the UCL.
