Juventus coach Max Allegri lamented failing to kill off the game after their 1-1 draw with Venezia.
Mattia Aramu canceled out Alvaro Morata's opener for Juventus.
“We ran a risk and it went badly. He went off on Wednesday with a muscular issue, we hoped he was better now, but that was not the case," explained Allegri on DAZN.
“It was a good first half, we created chances, but then had this 10-15-minute blackout before the Venezia goal. The same thing happened in Salerno, we were lucky then not to concede as they hit the post, so it's something we clearly need to work on.
“We were under pressure, couldn't play the ball to feet anymore, so we should've had patience with one or two balls over the top to the strikers, take some of the pressure off and let the moment pass, but we didn't do that.
“We had to attack the space, force them into fouls and more yellow cards, but we threw away two points against a good Venezia.
“At the start of the second half we were sort of wandering about, giving the ball straight back. Sometimes we don't realise the game is getting 'ugly' and we don't read the moment. Once that moment passed, we started playing again and pinned Venezia back into their own half, but the damage was done.
“We have players without a great deal of experience, as it was practically Kaio Jorge's first 'start' and others too. The whole team was a bit sluggish after the restart.
“We can't seem to realise when it's the time to play pretty and those 10-15 minutes we ought to play ugly, grit our teeth and push through."
