Skills, audacity, confident. Nicolò Zaniolo is the bright star right now, no doubt. 19 years of age, he’s got everything to become a great, great player. But as for Totti remarks, let’s not shout that so loud. Roma certainly found a gem but we need to remind ourselves we have another 3 potential cracking players … Roma 3-1 Sassuolo “Zaniomania”
A dull game. Same old story, same old result. Narrow defeat at the Alianz Stadium. Juve did not need to produce much to win this game. Mandzukic header in the first half was just enough. Roma never gave the impression to get back into it. Too many players out and lots of youngsters in, this … Juventus 1-0 Roma “Powerless”
Afraid and shaken by the events so far. The season has gone badly and we fear it might get worse. Unless something changes. Quickly. This Roma team only shows glimpses of its potential. Too small, fragile and unpredictable. The three points last night are just good for that. Three points, in fact that saved Di … Roma 3-2 Genoa “Small and fragile”
Roma is not getting better. On the contrary. After Cagliari we thought we could see something else, at least from the point of view of concentration. And instead in Europe – where Roma has done well so far – the team shows little hunger and suffers another defeat in Plzen, city of beer. The qualification … Plzen 2-1 Roma “No beer”
Two players, one manager, and one goal up. Min. 97. Only 40 seconds left. Roma have the ball. Ask me how, but Cagliari equalise, one man alone against a backline of 5 defenders. This is a new Guinness record for sure. A game that was in the safe, done and dusted, 3 points in the … Cagliari 2-2 Roma “Unicef “
A great match turned sour – thanks to the blind boys Gianluca Rocchi and Michael Fabbri. Eyes without a face. Intensity and excitement. Magnificent game of fooball. Both sides created plenty of opportunities. But it was Roma who went closest in spite of missing several players. The young team delivered, especially Nicolò Zaniolo. A revelation. … Roma 2-2 Inter “Eyes without a face”
After the crash with Udinese we expected a reaction “Champions” style, given the previous games. In the first half we saw a good Roma despite the many absences and young people in the field. But then when you miss opportunities like that of Under, you inevitably succumb to the greatness of the likes of Real … Roma-Real 0-2 “Un-Real”
“Everytime we try to get things our way, swiftly they go the opposite. It’s not just bad luck. It’s no confidence, no will power. Sorry to say but Roma aren’t a great team”. These are the words of Eusebio Di Francesco after the latest setback. Bloody International break! I remind myself. Another loss against a … Udinese-Roma 1-0 “Black Saturday”
One of the best performances seen this season, with our talented youngsters leading the pack. JJ’s, Schick and El Sharaawy’s double gave Roma an emphatic win. Well deserved. The Pharaoh’s lob was an absolute gem. We recommend watching that again. JJ’s goal clearly belongs to Bryan Cristante, his header was going in, then tapped in. … Roma-Sampdoria 4-1 “El-Pharaoh show”
Comparisons between Cengiz Ünder and Mohamed Salah are so easy to make that they would inevitably have popped up irrespective of their validity. After all, Ünder was signed ostensibly as Salah’s replacement, a fellow right-winger who thrives when cutting inside onto a preferred left foot. Both have flourished at Roma, sufficiently impressive to attract the gaze of Premier League giants. Roma … Player Profile: Cengiz Ünder
