Honestly looking at things perspectively a point is actually a good outcome in the Derby. However, fuck that, they were right there for the taking and Mancini is too scared to seize the opportunity. From one of the best halves we had to one of the worst! I don't even feel like analyzing the match man..
So we've scored 8 goals this season. The same amount of goals as 19th placed Carpi lead by the great Marco Borriello.
Glass half empty, Shaun?
We also have the best defence in the league, conceding only 6 goals so far. I am happy with this. You rebuild from the defence up.

The players didnt deserve this beautiful choreography
I think our defensive stats are somewhat deceptive. If Juve play with a talented striker rather than Zarunalotza today then they win easily. His mis-controlling of good ball in several occasions is the only reason they didn't score. Even in the first half when everyone was pleased with our play (myself included) Zaza was the reason why most of their attacks proved fruitless.
We were very fortunate not to ship a few more goals against Sampdoria last round too.
Shaun you're generally a good poster, but you often seem to find any reason or excuse to slight Inter. However, when the shoes on the other foot you never give that same leniency. Allegri the same coach who led this Juventus team to a CL final last year by winning games like this decided to play Zaza over a perfectly fit Dybala. If Dybala was injured I could see you're excuse, but it just doesn't hold water in this situation.
Allegri played Zaza because of his defensive contribution and the fact he has more open play goals then Dybala this year. Who's to say if they started with Dybala they wouldn have been as strong defensively and we wouldn't have scored during our first half ascendancy?

genious
A fair result. Inter dominated the first half, Juve the second. But both teams showed quality in the defence.
I wish we had played like this against Fiorentina!! Jojo is so critical for us, he gives us a lot of confidence in the attack... I think he gave singlehandedly Juventus 3-4 yellow cards, could have been even more. Miranda does the same for our defence. I think the clean sheet is an important achievement here. Our defence looks well organised after a few years of madness. Now we need to focus on creating an effective attack... the glimpses of talent that Jojo and Perisic have shown so far, I think its possible.
I am not sure why so many people here are disappointed with our performance. The first half was easily our best performance in a few years. Its quite reasonable to expect that we would be able to keep that level of intensity over 90 minutes. And this result isn't half bad, I would have happily accepted it before the game. 16 points from 8 games, we are on track.
This team is developing nicely, give it time...
