The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 208: Juventus are in the midst of a February to forget

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.
