May 15, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 149: Juve has all to play for in the Europa League
Juventus and Sevilla are all square after the opening 90 minutes of the Europa League semifinal. Now things head over to Spain where Juve look to do what Manchester United wasn’t able to do in the quarterfinal round.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from the week that was — including how much injuries really do suck, how it feels to be on the other end of a Max Allegri banana peel moment and face a team that comes out guns blazing and then throttles down to protect a lead, and how Max Allegri continues to display how his style of play is very much not conducive to consistent success.
Thoughts on Juventus’ draw with Sevilla in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals.
What needs to change for Juventus entering Thursday night’s second leg in Seville.
Thoughts on Sunday’s win over Cremonese that marked Juve’s third straight victory in Serie A and allowed them to get some breathing room between fifth-place Milan. (Which is important because there are still off-field matters to be determined.)
Twitter questions — including what might be wrong with Juventus’ strikers, what to do with Dusan Vlahovic this summer, how might the midfield needs be addressed this summer and what the heck is there to do about VAR and semi-automated technology these days.

May 08, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 148: Juve get a big-time win over Atalanta
Juventus were able to slay one of their recent boogeymen with a successful trip to Bergamo, sending the Bianconeri into second place as the race for a top four spot heats up with four games to go in the 2022-23 season.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from the week that was — how scared we are about Juventus messing things up with Samuel Iling-Junior, how nice it is to have some squad depth at this time of the season and it’s nice to have it at Max Allegri’s disposal, and Mattia De Sciglio’s season-ending injury on magnifies how Juve’s depth at fullback/wingback is not up to par.
Juventus beat Lecce. Good times!
Juventus also beat Atalanta. Even better times!
There were some good things to come out of the 2-0 win over Atalanta despite seeing La Dea record a whole lot of shots but really not put much on target.
Looking ahead to Thursday’s first leg of the Europa League semifinal against Sevilla, the masters of the competition who have found form after a managerial change.
Looking at the rumors that Juventus could have a new sporting director in relatively short order, with the Bianconeri reportedly holding talks with Napoli head honcho Cristiano Giuntoli.

May 01, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 147: Good riddance to an awful month of April
Things aren’t getting much better for Juventus, with Inter ousting them from the Coppa Italia and the overall product on the field making more than just supporters of the club grumpy and wanting a change for the better.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from the week that was — including how the hopping and the jumping on penalties is just becoming very tiresome and how continuing to use players like Federico Chiesa out of their best position has also become very tiresome.
The Coppa Italia semifinal at the San Siro was very, very bad.
Where Max Allegri got it very, very wrong against Inter and how it played right into the hands of Simone Inzaghi.
Things were improved against Bologna over the weekend, but Juventus still dropped points. It was a game Juve should have won, but their finishing in front of goal was not very good — at all.
Twitter questions — including if we were upset about Juve not totally pushing for a second goal against Bologna after tying up the game, what the “project” at Juventus would look like by the end of the 2023-24 season if Max Allegri stays around, if starting at Twitter is better than watching Juventus these days, if any Juve players have embraced the city of Turin like Federico Bernardeschi has embraced Toronto and if there can just be a collective hug for Juventus fans after the last few months.

April 24, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 146: Juve get their points back, but lose again in Serie A
It was a wild week both on and off the field for Juventus, seeing their points penalty temporarily retracted right before their decisive Europa League quarterfinal and then falling at home in a controversy-filled loss to Napoli.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from the week that was — including how Napoli has the championship luck on their side like Juve had for the better part of the 2010s when they were on the Scudetto streak, how Max Allegri deserves credit for going against the perception of himself and giving a handful of young players a chance, and how it’s impossible to not feel so bad for the group of Juventus’ forwards.
Juventus got their 15 points back as their appeal to CONI was successful and their points penalty was temporarily overturned. All of this came about two hours before kickoff against Sporting in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals.
All of a couple of hours after the 15-point penalty appeal decision, Juve went out and took the field against Sporting and advanced to the Europa League semifinals.
The week concluded with Juventus falling to soon-to-be Serie A champions Napoli at the Allianz Stadium on a night in which they could have snatch-and-grabbed their way to three points but saw VAR be the ultimate enemy again.
Twitter questions — including just how washed Juan Cuadrado appears to be and why Angel Di Maria has suddenly cooled off form-wise.

April 17, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 145: Is the Europa League Juve’s only hope?
Juventus holds a slim lead over Sporting in the Europa League quarterfinals heading into Thursday’s second leg, but things domestically aren’t looking as great as we await word of the points penalty appeal.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from the week that was — how some of us never want to see Leandro Paredes play for Juventus the rest of the season, how Danilo has become a secret midfielder of sorts during the last couple of games, and the schedule crunch is very much on for Juventus and how Sunday’s loss to Sassuolo (as well as other Serie A teams who are still alive in Europe) started to show some cracks.
Thoughts on Thursday’s win over Sporting in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals.
Thoughts on Sunday’s loss to Sassuolo that served as the latest hit to Juventus’ chances of finishing in the top four if the 15-point penalty is to remain.
Twitter questions — including the form of Filip Kostic, why Juventus don’t press higher and take advantage of the pace of the center backs, #DeZerbi in if it’s #AllegriOut, and what are our predictions for the next few games on all three fronts.

April 10, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 144: Are Juve falling back into old habits?
Some of Juventus’ most notable qualities under Max Allegri — and maybe not in a good way — showed their faces this past week as Juve could only manage a draw with Inter in the Coppa Italia and lost to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.
This week on The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from the week that was — including how Juve are picking a poor time to have a run of poor performances coming out of the international break and how we hope that Juventus and Max Allegri come up with (or rediscover) a Plan B on how to try and beat teams.
The racism problem in Italy is becoming such a problem that we’ve reached the point of it not being a surprise anymore when a player gets racially abused during a game.
We start the on-field talk with what happened first this past week with Juventus’ 1-1 draw against Inter in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals. Or, just two flawed teams crashing into each other.
We shift the on-field talk to what happened against Lazio over the weekend and how, a lot like against Inter, it was a missed chance for Juventus to do something positive. Instead, for a large majority of Saturday night’s game, Juve’s play was anything but positive.
Seriously, what the heck were those tactics?
Some quick thoughts on the upcoming matchup on Thursday night against Sporting in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals.
Twitter questions — including (sarcastically) asking if Adrien Rabiot should get a new kit number if he signs a new contract, (sarcastically) asking if Mattia De Sciglio would have made any sort of difference against Lazio, and why pondering why Max Allegri continues to a ultra-conservative style when his team playing more aggressively worked so well in the final 20 minutes against Lazio.

April 03, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 143: Taking positives out of a drab Juve win
Juventus returned to the field with a relatively bland win over Hellas Verona, but that doesn’t mean that there were a few players who continued their strong play as bigger and more important games approach.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from the week that was — including Dusan Vlahovic and his tendency to fall into complaining to the refs very easily, and how Mattia De Sciglio is still very much there and getting playing time and not exactly anything of note to the table.
Because Juventus’ win over Hellas Verona was quite forgettable in terms of the overall performance, we decided to something a little different this week. That involves spotlighting a few players who we feel like are playing quite well right now.
First up, it’s Manuel Locatelli!
Next up, it’s Federico Gatti!
Twitter questions — including if Federico Gatti has done enough to get more “big game” starts going forward this season and where we want the biggest core of Italians to be when it comes to a positional group.

March 27, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 142: The April gauntlet awaits Juventus
Juventus finished its March slate of games on a high note. But the Bianconeri face a daunting month of April that will play a big role in determining whether or not they have a chance to win silverware this season.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
A very, very important month of April is almost upon — and some of Juventus’ most important players in the attacking phase are set for crucial exams at J Medical.
If Filip Kostic is out for any significant number of games in April, does Max Allegri play it safe on the left wing or roll the dice with Samuel Iling-Junior?
The amount of games in the month of April is A LOT, and that is something that a team like Juventus that has seen its depth come and go at various points throughout the season doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence.
Two legs against Inter and two legs against Sporting all within a couple of weeks? That’s tough!
Antonio Conte left Tottenham by “mutual consent” right before we hit record, so we talked a little bit about the guy who won a couple of Serie A titles at Juventus. It’s an international break, folks.

March 20, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 141: Juve finish up March in a big, big way
With big wins in Serie A and in the Europa League, Juventus heads into the first international break of the calendar year feeling pretty good about things as the club awaits the points penalty appeal verdict to come down.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
What a good week that was!
Takeaways from said week — including Juventus will be qualifying for Europe come the end of the season, Manuel Locatelli has found his footing at the base of the Juve midfield as a regista and is in a nice run of form, and “Federico Gatti, man.”
Thoughts on Juventus’ Derby d’Italia win over Inter at the San Siro.
The way Juventus played things and Max Allegri’s tactics were pretty well executed against Inter, with the team being progressive with their pressing rather than being reactive like we’ve seen so many times before.
Even though the final score was 1-0, this was a pretty good game between Juventus and Inter.
We debate who the man of the match was against Inter, with a special shoutout for Nicolo Fagioli, who is playing like a sure-thing starter these days.
Thoughts on Juventus’ Europa League Round of 16 second leg win over Freiburg and the quarterfinal draw, with Sporting the next one up on the schedule for Max Allegri’s squad in Europe.
Twitter questions — just how massive Max Allegri has been, if Nicolo Fagioli 100% a baller or 100% a baller and a lock to be a starter going forward this season, and what has Federico Gatti done to try and ensure himself more playing time going forward the rest of the season.

March 13, 2023The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 140: Juve’s Europa League hopes are still alive
Juventus won both of its games this past week in very different kinds of ways, but face some tough sledding in the final stretch going into the first international break of 2023.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways form the week that was — including how football is still very much a game of moments both good and bad, how Matias Soulé was a very good performer off the bench against Sampdoria, and how Dusan Vlahovic is just not having a very good time right now.
Thoughts on Juventus’ 1-0 win over Freiburg in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16. What went right for Juve? What went wrong for Juve? What needs to change entering Thursday’s second leg in Germany?
The question to end all questions: Will Juventus get past Freiburg and advance to the Europa League quarterfinals?
Juventus’ defensive hopes in the second leg against Freiburg might come down to Leonardo Bonucci and/or Daniele Rugani. Not the best situation.
How nervous did Juve’s blackout defensively make us for the rest of Sunday’s win over Sampdoria? (Hint: It was quite a bit!)
But Juventus got the three points, so everything wasn’t so bad, right?
Twitter questions — including the return o prodigal son, why shouldn’t Juventus give Paul Pogba’s money to Adrien Rabiot, is Sunday’s performance a good or bad sign for Dusan Vlahovic, if the crew has any game day superstitions and some talk about the BBC and Gary Linekar.
