Even by Juve's standards this season, the game with Milan was an extremely hard watch: two teams who want nothing more than the season to be finished at this stage, both seemingly going through the motions, playing under managers who most likely know the days in their respective jobs are numbered.

Considering both teams have been second and third all season, the spectacle was horrific and hardly going to win over the neutral fan.

Both sides offered precious little in the way of excitement, both played at half-speed with sloppiness from both sides laced throughout the game.

Juve were marginally the better side and created the more clearcut chances, but not by much.

Dusan Vlahovic and Kenan Yildiz were marginalised figures throughout the game, with service to Vlahovic limited and Yildiz scarcely getting into the action.

The youngster was brought back into the starting XI at the expense of Federico Chiesa, but it was only when Chiesa entered the fray in the final half an hour did Juve look more threatening.

Arkadiusz Milik replaced Vlahovic and the Pole also looked more menacing.

Yet it's difficult to be too hard on both Vlahovic and Yildiz considering the midfield offered the pair precious little in terms of service.

A midfield five of Filip Kostic, Timothy Weah, Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli and and Andrea Cambiaso while good defensively, provided little attacking output.

It was also the same with Milan.

Tijani Reijners and Yacine Adli at the base of the Milan midfield offered nothing in either phase, with the former particularly poor and earning a 5.

5/10 ranking from La Gazzetta dello Sport in the Sunday papers.

Rafael Leao, so often Milan's MVP when it matters most, had a shocking game: always on the periphery and rarely involved in the action.

Milan is in desperate need of a striker who is still in his prime and mobile.

For all the good things Olivier Giroud has given Milan in his three years of service, the club need a forward who is quick but also fully developed as a player.

Milan have had a habit of buying fully-formed - but ageing - stars such as Giroud and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, or very young and inexperienced players like Noah Okafor, Andre Silva, Jens Petter Hauge and Marko Lazetic to name but a few.

Of course buying a striker, with the limited number of them around in the modern game, in his prime costs a significant amount of money, and this iteration of Milan isn't in the business of splashing huge amounts of money on one player, making it difficult for them to buy the kind of player they need.

Juve, by contrast, need a whole new midfield.

So many of the current squad simply aren't good enough to be playing for the club, and this season has been evident that a major overhaul is needed.

Only Manuel Locatelli, Nicolo Fagioli and Andrea Cambiaso are likely to be safe this summer, with everyone else either leaving or having a price.

The lack of a midfield creator is what has hurt Juve most in the second half of the season, only two wins from the last 13 league games is an appalling record, and only for the fact that the teams below Juve have been inconsistent, they would arguably be out of the top four.

Thiago Motta's Bologna are now just three points behind with a game in hand.

Both teams have endured underwhelming seasons, and if last night's horrendously dull game in Turin was evident of anything, it's that the end of the line has been reached for Pioli and Allegri.
