The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 122: Juve pummel Empoli, deliver good vibes

Juventus had one objective during the third week October — beat Empoli. And for one of the few times this season, Juve actually gave something to be happen about as we watched them play. On this episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from the week that was — including Juventus giving us something fun to watch against Empoli, Filip Kostic being a dude who will cross and cross and cross and cross some more, and Moise Kean not being totally BACK but showing signs of improvement. Some thoughts on the win over Empoli and how Juventus actually played pretty well. We know, it’s hard to believe after what we’ve seen this season, too, but it actually happened. And we know the caveat is that “it’s just Empoli,” but that’s fine because it’s not like they can control who’s playing opposite of them. Some players who had been having some rough patches really did play well. Guess who looks like they’re going to be be coming back soon? Federico Chiesa and Paul Pogba. The thing is, though, just what should we expect from them upon their immediate return considering that we’re just a few weeks away from the World Cup break? Our lone Twitter question of the week — just how much Paul Pogba (and to a further extent Federico Chiesa) fit into things when he does indeed come back from injury?
