The Old Lady Speaks: A Juventus Podcast FFSN

Juventua actually played fairly well for a large stretch of time against a good team, but still couldn’t capitalize on the fact that AC Milan had a second-string defense in Turin, as Max Allegri’s squad suffered their seventh draw in the last 13 games.
On Episode 226 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

Takeaways from Juventus’ scoreless draw on Saturday — including how the Bianconeri showed again that they are capable of playing a different style of football like they did in the second half against Milan, how we all are left wondering why it took until the second half to put a very shorthanded and makeshift Milan defense under serious pressure.

Thoughts on Juve’s draw with Milan. It wasn’t that bad, was it?

Max Allegri changed things up and got them mostly right in the second half, but why can’t we have those nice things more often?

What needs to happen for Juventus to not miss out on the Champions League next season?

Twitter questions — including which players we’re excited to see come back form loan, why we’ve barely heard from Juventus’ board of directors lately, if Federico Chiesa is worth the potential pay raise he wants with his new contract, if there’s any chance of Juve bringing Max Allegri back for next season due to financial reasons, and what about Allegri winning fewer trophies than Juve’s two previous managers although he’s been in Turin for three years.

Juventus’ trip to Sardinia proved to be like so many other performances that we’ve seen over the last three months, with a 2-2 draw all the team muster after falling behind by two goals in the first half.
On Episode 224 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

Takeaways from Juventus’ draw against Cagliari — how we’ve run out of original things to say about how Juve are playing right now, how it’s been a while since we’ve since Max Allegri actually do some riskier things with his subs and roll the dice, and how this team looks to be mentally fried with what has gone on the last three months.

What went wrong for Juventus against Cagliari.

Why this kind of stuff keeps happening?

Serie A referees and VAR: the gift that keeps on giving.

Twitter questions — including what our realistic list of signings and departures look like, could Cristiano Giuntoli’s recent comments actually mean that Juve are entertaining another season with Max Allegri, and if we are owed an apology for waiting so long to see the Chiesa-Vlahovic-Yildiz trident in action.

The second Derby della Mole of the season saw Juventus drop more points as they try and lock up a spot in the Champions League, with Dusan Vlahovic struggling in front of goal and Max Allegri doing ... well, Max Allegri things.
On Episode 223 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

Takeaways from the the scoreless draw with Torino — how Dusan Vlahovic is starting to test some patience levels, how much Juventus seriously set themselves up without much width, and how Juve’s second-half approach was very much like a Juve team of old.

Juventus’ second-half performance against Torino was just ... bad.

Why does Max Allegri continue to do these things like he did in the second half against Torino?

And because Juve dropped points again against a team they shouldn’t drop points against, the race for the Champions League becomes just that much more of a stressful proposition.

Twitter questions — including of Max Allegri’s self-help book actually has a misprint, how the heck can Juve’s players rediscover their ironclad mentality of yesteryear, how to avoid the constant loop of changing coaches, what about players struggling despite Allegri getting all of the blame, and just how good of a striker is Dusan Vlahovic after misses like he had against Torino.
