The Old Lady Speaks: A Juventus Podcast

Episode 134: Juve’s January goes from bad to worse

Juventus’ winless streak was extended to three games after Monza rolled into the Allianz Stadium and claimed another historic win over the struggling Italian giants.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

Takeaways from the week that was — including how Juventus is (quickly) regressing back down to the mean after the eight-game winning streak and how Juventus is very quickly becoming its own worst enemy on a regular basis once again.

Juventus’ performance against Monza was ... not very good at all. And this is what happens when Max Allegri chooses to go old school and sit back and try to counter against a team that loves to possess the ball and has gotten better as the season has gone on.

Allegri choosing to play like this is not sustainable for much of the season simply because Serie A is evolving and he continues to show that he wants no part in that evolution.

In what looks like the lone “big” transfer of the January window, Weston McKennie is headed to Leeds United on loan with an option to buy.

How would we sum up McKennie’s tenure at Juventus?

Twitter questions — including there being any worries about a transfer ban coming down, what the new Juventus front office can do to get this thing turned around, if this is the worst Juventus team of the modern era and what’s a good drink to mix together to try and get through the current state of Juventus.
