We are all happy. Six goals against the last in the standings. Already relegated. Two goals by the sensational Bruno Peres to the amazing one by Nicolò, then Kalinic, Carles Perez and Kolarov. All very beautiful, all fine with Fonseca, with Gianluca Mancini, love messages on social media nd so on. Zaniolo is there with … Spal 1-6 Roma ‘Nic Nac’
Leo Spinazzola makes an omelette of what should have been a Roma win. What on earth was he thinking of? Any coach in any football academy would teach you to never ever defend the ball inward but outward from your keeper penalty area. Yet Spina did exactly that. Not only did he turn inward but … Roma 2-2 Inter ‘Spinach’
Roma come out with the three points despite having played a strange match, with the ball left to the opponent, almost like playing away. This against a Verona that proves to be a tough team, at fast pace that at times has put the midfield and the Giallorossi defense in serious difficulty. Verona appears to … Roma 2-1 Verona ‘Small steps”
If only Roma did it. I mean beat Udinese and maybe snatch a point at Milan and Napoli, with 4/5 extra points we’d be 6 points behind Inter, so near that 4th spot to get Champions League football next year, and lots of monies… Regrettably, we are 11 points behind, but given Inter’s form anything … Brescia 0-3 Roma ‘Good boost’
Roma rise again. Although not all problems are solved. But in the meantime it was important to win, you had to get points to stay in the running for fifth place, for Fonseca who keeps his place, and for us fans, now with morale under the heels. The team played much better, but it was … Roma 2-1 Parma ‘New model army’
Some kind of decency since that rock bottom display against Udinese. Better but not enough. Another defeat. 8 out 13 in 2020. Zaniolo back is the best news on the night. Our hope. Pau Lopez also back, with some great saves. Our best player of the night. Fazio passes the ball to Insigne to convert … Napoli 2-1 Roma “Rock bottom”
Free fall. But not from now. We have to go back to the Champions League semifinal with Liverpool. After that game a series of players, coaches and managers were sent away, not to mention the saga with Roma icons Totti and De Rossi. A sporting downsizing, for the never ending FFP budget needs. Yet another … Roma 0-2 Udinese ‘Free fall’
Roma are out of the race for 4th Champions League spot. Hey, I’m not talking about the race for Scudetto! And with still 10 games left! Lost against one of Milan’s worst teams ever. No commitment, no fighting spirit. Fonseca made mistakes, fine. But he’s not talking straight anymore. Some players clearly more interested to … Milan 2-0 Roma ‘Out and about’
Roma returned to the field after the Covid19 stoppage, in the surreal atmosphere of an empty stadium, with only a few present. A victory of measure that comes only in the second half thanks to Edin Dzeko’s magic, the undisputed leader and champion of this team. Two goals thanks also to an assist “a la … Roma 2-1 Sampdoria ‘Right re-start’
Positive vibes after the display at the Sardegna Arena. Four goals scored and it could have been eight. Yet, conceded three, and never sure of secured three points. Roma went on to play some great aggressive football in the first 20 mins. Sparkling and unlucky not to score thanks to a superb Robin Olsen in … Cagliari 3-4 Roma “Sardinian poker”
