    Juventus’ first showing of 2025 looked like a lot of the ones from the final few weeks of 2024, with Thiago Motta’s squad falling to AC Milan in the semifinals of the new-look Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. On Episode 266 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we dicuss: Takeaways from Juventus’ loss to AC Milan in the semifinals of the new-look Italian Super Cup. What’s up with Dusan Vlahovic after another disappointing performance. Juventus weren’t able to close out another game. What’s the deal? Thiago Motta didn’t have great things to say about his team’s mentality and character in the wake of Juventus blowing a lead against Milan. That’s not good, right? Social media questions — including if it’s time to consider a Dusan Vlahovic sale, confidence in Juventus getting wins compared to last season, what a midterm grade for Cristiano Giuntoli might be, what is the reasoning for all of the individual errors and where Juventus goes from here.

    The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 263: Juventus’ run of Serie A draws is finally over
    2024/12/23
    For the first time in 43 days, Juventus claimed a win over an opponent in Serie A with Sunday night’s slim win over last-place Monza. With it comes the end of a streak of four straight draws that stretched back to early November. On Episode 263 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from the week that was — which thankfully included a pair of Juventus wins. That’s right, folks. Juventus’ run of four straight draws is over following Sunday night’s win over Monza. It wasn’t pretty, but Juve got a much-needed win over a relegation battler. Juventus’ injury situation continues to create a situation in which a number of players are unable to get the amount of rest they need and, as a result, have been forced to play a heavy amount of minutes. He scored midweek. He scored the game-winner against Monza. So, we ask: It sure is nice to have Nico Gonzalez back in the fold, huh? Questions from social media — including if selling Nicolo Fagioli to fund moves for a center back and a striker in January would be worth it?

    What was easily one of Juventus’ biggest wins of the season was dampened by the fact that yet another domestic draw against a relegation battler took place over the weekend, this time against last-place Venezia. On Episode 262 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from Juventus’ week that was. Juventus get a big win, then they record another draw domestically, this time against the worst team in the league. What gives? All these draws are getting more than just a little frustrating, but is there any sort of silver lining as Thiago Motta’s squad go through plenty of growing pains? A look at the Champions League table following the win over Manchester City and where Juve stand with two league phase fixtures remaining.

    The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 260: Juventus’ run of draws unfortunately rolls on
    2024/12/02
    Juventus’ run of consecutive draws coming out of the international break has only continued, with Sunday’s 1-1 result against Lecce providing us with another example of what this team’s current limitations currently are amidst a massive injury crunch. On Episode 260 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: No takeaways from the week that was. Instead, we vent a little bit. Juventus’ draw against Lecce was not like the previous two draws over the past week or so. That’s both because of how bad Lecce have been and how it all came about. What has gone wrong of late? And is there anything that can be done by Thiago Motta to try and get something to change for the better even with all of the injuries? A look at the Champions League table and overall situation ahead of facing Manchester City in 10 days following the scoreless draw with Aston Villa. Questions from social media — including just who is to blame for Juventus’ injury crisis and why exactly Motta decided to take out Federico Gatti in the second half against Lecce.

    The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 259: No 9s, no goals for Juventus against AC Milan
    2024/11/25
    With Dusan Vlahovic back in Turin with a muscle injury he picked up during the international break, Juventus’ attack was rather quiet as Thiago Motta tried to make a false nine setup work against Milan. In short, it didn’t work. On Episode 259 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from Juventus’ scoreless draw with Milan. We know Juventus weren’t playing with a natural No. 9. So what went wrong with who Thiago Motta chose to play in that position? Basically, the Teun Koopmeiners experiment as a false nine did not work at all. Was there anything that Juventus actually did well against Milan? (Maybe!) Juventus also have a big game in the Champions League against Aston Villa coming. So what the heck is going to happen if they are without Dusan Vlahovic again? Social media questions for the week — including how happy Juve should be with a point against Milan rather than getting a win in a very winnable game, and what is becoming the biggest priority when the January transfer window arrives knowing that the injuries just keep on coming in both attack and defense.
