Easier than expected. the match in Ferrara was daunting, unbeaten in the last 8 matches, Spal are a team who play aggressive football on home soil. Instead, it turned out to be one of the easiest wins for Roma this season. In control from the very start, this Roma team never gave Spal the chance … Spal-Roma 0-3 “Fluency”
Derby-day, no goals. It’s an ok result considering what Roma have done in Champions League and what Lazio was looking for in this match. With Inter Milan drawing means this is a square result that keeps the situation stable for the race to third place. Roma played better the first half, Lazio were kept at bay … Lazio-Roma 0-0 “OK derby”
An easy meal especially after the first leg ended 4-1. Roma were just a candy sweet for the catalan giants. No one believed this to become one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history. The impossible task. Now no longer impossible. Roma did it. An emphatic win 3-0, Messi and co. ridiculed from start … Roma-Barcellona 3-0 “Candy sweet”
Another Roma surprise, only a few days since the Barcelona game. Wrong approach. Very bad defending and poor finish in the first half. Positive in the second half with lots of chances created but just unable to score. Another shocking defeat. This team is just not reliable, we do not know anymore what is the … Roma-Fiorentina 0-2 “Indefensible”
Two own goals; two clear penalties not given…no doubt our errors and the referee helped a not so great FC Barcelona team last night. Yet again, AS Roma did not take its chances. That is the difference at this level. Harsh result. Pity for the second leg. However, this is Roma at the moment, with … Barcelona-Roma 4-1 “Courage”
Cengiz and Pellegrini out, Dzeko spared on the bench. We all craved for a great performance by Patrik Schick, but again it was not meant to be. Things went for the worse as Ninja Nainggolan walked away from the pitch injured. Barcelona at high risk. Not a great game by many today, we were expecting … Bologna-Roma 1-1 “Too shy”
Roma came back from Calabria with the three points, exactly what we expected. On paper that was the expected plan but in the field Crotone gave Roma some scary moments by missing some incredible chances thanks to some sloppy moves in our defense. Nevetheless, Roma played with confidence, always in command, never gave the impression … Crotone-Roma 0-2 “Swift and go”
Like William Wallace, the Scottish warrior, Edin Dzeko is the Roma hero of the night, scoring the winner that sends Roma to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Edin like his teammates fought like a brave on the pitch, showing the right attitude from the start, all went on to believe Roma could not miss … Roma-Shakhtar 1-0 “Braveheart”
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”
