“An easy win for the gaillorossi last night. Pescara are really poor, no wonder they got relegated to Serie B last night with 6 games still to play. Roma started very bright from the very start; managed to create 7 clear chances in the first 18 minutes, and had a goal disallowed. But it was only able to break the deadlock at the end of the first half with a double sucker-punch by Strootman and Nainggolan that virtually ended the match.
The second half saw another two goals from Salah and then happens what you don’t expect. 4-0 up and Edin Dzeko get substituted. He does not take it well with the coach, he wanted to score a goal, too. He’s competing for the Serie A top scorers and the European Golden Boot. Whether right or wrong, the coach made a decision, he’s paid for that. You might argue your points with Spalletti and his changing habits with the players, resting or not resting certain players. But he decides, right or wrong, we will see at the end of the season. That’s it.
Monchi: the new Sporting Director was unveiled yesterday. The Sevilla man landed out of the blue at Rome Airport, went to Trigoria training grounds, sign a 4-year deal and headed straight to Pescara to meet the coach and players. He’s bringing a breath of fresh air, and he’s someone who takes decisions. That’s what Roma needs at the moment. He’s at work already, fully operational from today. Spalletti future, Totti and De Rossi’s future, the upcoming transfer market and much more on the table. Good luck Mr. Rodriguez Verdejo”.
