The visit to Empoli in September went a little bit better than it did back in the spring, with Danilo and Federico Chiesa ensuring that Juventus went into the first international break of the 2023-24 season with a victory. On Episode 168 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: Takeaways from the week that was — including how Paul Pogba is back to being injured, it was nice to see Filip Kostic back in the starting lineup against Empoli after some transfer rumor-filled final days of the summer window, and how Weston McKennie starting at wingback isn’t exactly the greatest thing. The performance against Empoli wasn’t great and Juve certainly should have been Did Juventus ever lose control of the game against Empoli despite the fact that they were holding onto a slim 1-0 lead? Thoughts on Dusan Vlahovic’s up and down kind of performance and his season as a whole so far. Twitter question for the week: Assuming health, what would Juventus’ best midfield three be? (Of course also assuming Max Allegri sticks with a 3-5-2 all season.)
