The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 245: The Thiago Motta era at Juventus begins in a big way

Juventus opened the new season in fine fashion, as Thiago Motta’s new-look side rolled past newly-promoted Como and provided more than a couple of nice surprises in the process. On Episode 245 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss: The return of the post-game takeaways! Juventus’ win over Como showed plenty of good things right out of the gate. We discuss some of them. Thoughts on Thiago Motta’s first impression. Kenan Yildiz was pretty good against Como and just spoke to how important he is for Motta and this new era at Juventus. Twitter questions — including an either/or between Teun Koopmeiners and Nico Gonzalez, just how willing we’re ready to bank on Samuel Mbangula after his impressive debut, just how confident some of the “out of the project” players will come back, if Juventus should keep Kenan Yildiz centrally, and what to make of Weston McKennie being back in the squad.
