The trend remains the same. Roma cannot play with same intensity and concentration for 90min. If before it was a good first half and a sloppy second, last night the trend went the opposite way. Torino started brighter and created problems for Alisson, once again, once again just superb! The brazilian keeper will be snapped … Roma-Torino 3-0 “Two speed”
We said it, Roma will either play a great match to beat Napoli or will lose badly. We were confident, Roma has this habit of performing well when all the odds are against. Champions League was the typical example. That makes us angry though, this team can potentially harm anyone, so how to explain the … Napoli-Roma 2-4 “Resurgence”
Last night we were here to witness one of the worst played by Roma in recent years. No heart, no soul, a team in deep crisis, unable to make a decent pass or create a decent chance. It was a piece of cake for Milan, a easy win for anyone, even Benevento could have taken … Roma-Milan 0-2 “Crumbled”
First half. Second half. Two different teams. Roma started bright and created some clear chances, but Dzeko failed to convert. Not so clinical the bosnian. Instead, he looked better playing behind the strikers than as centrefoward, some great passes, eventually serving a great one for Cengiz Under to put Roma in the lead. Another turkish … Shakhtar-Roma 2-1 “Two faced”
We are back with our match review after missing out on Roma-Benevento. The death of a great Roma fan within our family made priority to grief in such difficult time. Dad will be proud and will carry on watching our beloved Roma from the heavens. Like against Benevento, Roma are back to winning ways again … Udinese-Roma 0-2 “Cengiz Khan”
Three points, at last. The Verona game was crucial for keeping up the chase for Champions League football next season. But also to regain some confidence. Roma started well, with Cengiz Under scoring a great goal with less than a minute gone, but then the usual pitfalls, unable to convert so many chances to bury … Verona-Roma 0-1 “Survivors”
It’s getting harder and harder. Trying to explain what is Roma up to these days is not an easy one. From the bad results on the pitch, to the pile of injuries, to finish with the club management. Who has a clue? From the pitch another night of dismay; a team unable to get back … Roma-Sampdoria 0-1 “On the ropes”
Dzeko snatches the equalizer in injury time to save Roma from another disaster, but how many chances wasted and what kind of referee to deny once again justice, for a Roma team revived at last. It was grotesque to see referee Orsato somehow reverting his linesman decision to punish a foul on Strootman, then the Sampdoria … Sampdoria-Roma 1-1 “VAR-Sato”
Reflections and indigestions: Victory vanished with only 5 min from the end, 3 points gone, players with cramps, ended up defending with backline of 5 ; Peres just irritating and a super Alisson. This sums up Roma’s latest disappointment. Better than Inter in the first half, good runs and pressing, but without creating much, until … Inter-Roma 1-1 “Total Equal”
Defeat. Worse. How to waste any scudetto hopes in between December and January every year. Hard to swallow. If drawing against Genoa, Chievo, Sassuolo was not enough, here’s Atalanta coming to take 3 points away on our soil. Roma were in the clouds especially in defense in the first half; in second half Atalanta went … Roma-Atalanta 1-2 “Collapse”
