The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 117: Juve has an awful week ... but these moments happen in football

Juventus’ disaster beginning to the 2022-23 season continued as we hit the middle of September, with a pair of awful performances resulting in a pair of equally awful losses to Benfica and Monza.

On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

• Takeaways from the week that was (and, surprisingly, they’re not very positive) — including just how much psychological damage this kind of situation can have on Juventus, how the loss to Monza could very well be Sergio’s fault and if we should be worried that Filip Kostic is sort of a one-trick pony in attack.
• Guess what? We talked about Max Allegri’s current situation.
• For the record, pretty much everybody on the podcast is on the #AllegriOut train at this point.
• What can we learn from other situations in other sports when it comes to managers either not adapting with the times and when it’s time for a change.
• Who are we kidding? This who episode is basically about Max Allegri and not about any specific moments in the losses to Benfica and then Monza.
• Twitter questions — including of Paolo Montero coming up from the primavera squad to replace Max Allegri would be a good idea following the Andrea Pirlo experience and who we want to see potentially replace Allegri if he were to be dismissed by Juventus.
