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.

Juventus had their first successful week in quite a few weeks, with wins over Lazio in the Coppa Italia and their first league win in over a month, against Fiorentina, hopefully providing some positive vibes for the first time in a long time. On Episode 221 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from the week that was — including how it was nice to see Juventus play some competent kind of football again and how Sunday’s win over Fiorentina felt like a carbon copy from what happened in Florence back in November.

Thoughts on Juventus’ win over Lazio in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals.

Sunday’s lunchtime kickoff didn’t result in Juventus’ poor run of form getting any better, as a scoreless draw against Genoa extended the Bianconeri’s struggles into the first international break of 2024. On Episode 216 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from Juventus’ scoreless draw against Genoa — including how Dusan Vlahovic’s sending off reminded us of his old habbits of being irritated on the field, how nice Genoa’s away kit is, how things that Juve are now again struggling again are things we thought they had gotten over in the first half of the season. This eight-game run from Juventus has us tired. Thankfully, Juventus had a very strong first half of the season because the last eight games have not helped cement their standing in the top four. The vibes are bad. Twitter questions — including if there is any way Max Allegri fixes this and get his team back on track, and if we had to wake up so early in the U.S. to watch this game then why did it look like the team was so sleepy in Italy.

It was the same kind of deal that we’ve seen from Max Allegri’s squad so many times over the last month and a half, with a game that Juventus could have won ending with yet another case of points being dropped. On Episode 215 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from Juventus’ draw against Atalanta — including how the defense continues to struggle and how that is supposed to be Max Allegri’s strongest point, how Arek Milik is representative of one of the biggest issues that this team has (translate: he’s not great despite scoring a goal), and how Fabio Miretti had another solid performance. So what the heck happened to Atalanta? What the heck has happened over the last seven games? There’s no singular reason as to why Juventus have struggled over the last month and a half, either. From manager to players, it’s basically on everybody. Twitter questions — including why things have gone so bad so quickly and how could Juventus even begin to get out of this sudden mess.

The first game of March brought a better team performance for Max Allegri and Juventus, but the Bianconeri’s finishing let them down mightily in a loss to Napoli that has extended a six-game run with very few points earned. On Episode 213 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from the loss to Napoli — how it was a little odd to see Joseph Nonge subbed immediately out after he gave up the penalty late in the second half, how Fabio Miretti was a quite pleasant surprise against Napoli, and how Juve’s defense certainly fell asleep Juventus’ finishing against Napoli ... NOT VERY GOOD! So as much as people will blame Joseph Nonge, it’s the finishing in front of goal why Juventus didn’t win on Sunday night, right? Juventus executed their plan against Napoli quite well. It was the execution of shots in front of goal that let the team down. Twitter questions — including how we are feeling and what adult beverage(s) we might turn to after a game like that one, if Allegri was right to sub off Joseph Nonge right after he committed the game-changing foul in the penalty area, and how will the starting lineup that was used against Napoli will be looked upon.

It wasn’t pretty, but Juventus finally got a win in February, with relegation-threatened Frosinone giving the Bianconeri quite a scare before Daniele Rugani’s stoppage-time winner allowed his team to collect all three points. On Episode 211 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from the week that was — including how fielding Federico Chiesa as a striker experiment needs to finally come to an end, and how Juventus looked unprepared coming out of the gate against Frosinone on Sunday. Thoughts on Juventus’ tight win over Frosinone. With Adrien Rabiot and Weston McKennie both having to be subbed out injured, Juventus’ midfield is likely to be even more shorthanded than it has been for much of the season. Federico Chiesa’s ongoing struggles have things in an interesting spot.

Juventus’ horrid run in the month February rolled on this past Saturday, as their winless streak extended to four games with another draw against a relegation battler in Hellas Verona. On Episode 209 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from Juventus’ loss to Hellas Verona — including how Andrea Cambiaso continues to be a bright spot and a spark amid the recent darkness, and how Max Allegri’s tinkering in the second half again left us scratching our heads. Things are bad. Very bad. So what the heck has happened to Juventus? If Juventus’ struggles appear to be mental more than physical, where does the solution come from? Is there even a solution? Twitter questions — including general foul moods because of Juventus, the perma-struggles of Filip Kostic along the left wing, if the Arek Milik red card against Empoli has created a butterfly effect of sorts, the eight-minute cameo of Kenan Yildiz, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa all on the field at once, and thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz’s first real chunk of playing time as a Juventus player.

Max Allegri’s squad dropped points for the third straight game, with a 1-0 loss to relegation battler Udinese putting salt in the wound following last week’s Derby d’Italia loss to Inter that put a serious dent in Juventus’ Scudetto hopes. On Episode 208 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from the week that was — including why (AGAIN) is Alex Sandro still playing meaningful minutes for Juventus this season, and how things were very much an “odd” tactical setup against Udinese because of Federico Chiesa and others. So, yeah ... about that performance against Udinese. Has much have the last three games just absolutely killed Juventus’ mojo from basically all of January when they were winning and winning with plenty of room to spare? How much of these last three games — and especially the loss to Udinese — really on Max Allegri? Oh, and by the way, even though Juventus’ status in the top four is still pretty comfortable, their advantage over third-place AC Milan is now down to a single point. Not great! Twitter questions — including when the #AllegriOut movement will start trending again, what a sad San Francisco 49ers fan (namely Danny) who also roots for Juventus is supposed to do after a rough couple of days, if Juventus do think of replacing Max Allegri next season who it should be, and what a Valentines Day-themed topic on the pod may look like.

Juventus are a club that historically never does many big things during the January transfer window, but they still added a pair of players in Tiago Djaló and Carlos Alcaraz that could very well be play some sort of part this season (and beyond).

Rather than busting the Serie A title race wide open, Juventus couldn’t muster much at the San Siro on Sunday night, falling to league leaders Inter, who now have a four-point lead and a game in hand heading into the final 15 games of the season. On Episode 206 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways — including how Andrea Cambiaso “chose” to have one of his worst games of the season against Inter on Sunday, how the Scudetto race (as of now) appears to be over, and how the battle of the center backs and out on the wings proved to be vital. So, yeah. About that Juventus performance against Inter... Did Max Allegri get his tactics wrong? Or was the bad performance against Inter simply down to the players imply playing poorly? OR BOTH?! Social media questions — including why Juve couldn’t keep up with Inter, what could change in the starting lineup as the same players continue to struggle, if it’s time to simply consider changing to a back four, and if the big run of a goal scoring numbers in January was a flash in the pan or will Allegri go back to his conservative ways?
