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”
Roma Club Dublin AS. Roma Club Eire – Dublin Ireland wishes all its readers and fans worldwide a Happy New Year! Thanks for the amazing support! Let’s rewind 2017. We had so many events to remember here in Dublin and travelling overseas. Back in February we travelled together to Villarreal CF for the UEFA Europa … Goodbye 2017, Welcome 2018!
Here we are, it’s the end of 2017. Disappointing results between Christmas and New Years Eve, once again against Sassuolo the team showed lack of some mental fitness and physical strength; VAR and two goals disallowed, lots of debatable issues, with Dzeko and Schick at the very centre of the debate. Roma were just incapable … Roma-Sassuolo 1-1 “Mood breaker”
The after-match press conference by Eusebio Di Francesco was by far the best we have seen from Roma last night. Just impeccable. He explained that his men were told to attack the Juve backline, pressing and squeezing them in their half, Strootman and De Rossi to tackle and prevent Miralem Pjanic from moving around in … Juventus-Roma 1-0 “Turin breaks”
