To be fair when both teams are known for their good defenses, this was the result that was the most expected one, both teams have great defenses and they lack a lot of things on offense as well.

Milan did try a few times, and so did Juventus, and when you watch the highlights you could literally realize that you are not going to get a game that would make much sense, it wasn't really even a highlight, it was a boringlight or whatever you want to call it. I didn't watch the full game so I can't call it much, but watched the highlights on youtube and I can say that even the highlights were boring. Sometimes you have these type of games, but considering both teams are good teams, they must be happy to not lose the game against each other.
Well, you've got a point. When two good teams meet each other and can't get the best out of the other, the next thing to settle for is a draw but if anything, I felt Milan would have taken advantage of Juventus only need to defend and try to poach more. When a team relies solely on their defense strategy, definitely, there'd come a period where they will get tired and start making mistakes but Milan isn't that kind of club that makes use of that kind of opportunity. They become clueless after they've tried the only thing they are good at, which is to force counterattacks.
Milan could not use the advantage of the crowd in the match they played at home. Since Juventus played away, I think they got a good score so they did not lose. However, Milan has been bad lately for them to play well in this match. Juventus is limiting themselves to saying they are doing very well, but they cannot show any offensive power. They are not losing, but they cannot win either.

The problem with Juventus' management is that they are hiring coaches who prioritize defense over attack. Note that the current coach does not have major differences with the former coach. Juventus is the same as it was in the last two seasons. They concede few goals, but they are not fighting for the title. So I do not see any advantage in keeping Juventus' current coach. Note that even teams like Fiorentina are doing better, which clearly proves that a good coach is essential for a team that wants to achieve things. To be honest, I doubt very much that in this and the next seasons Juventus will be able to become champions with this current coach.
