Roma-Palermo 4-1 “Euphoria Mood”

We had talked about the loss of concentration and the sudden collapse against Austria Vienna.  We had talked about Juve, which they thrives on cynicism and seize on the opportunities. Last night that did not happen, Roma made a nice stroll against a very poor team an even poorer goalkeeper, while Juve instead succumbed to Roma-Palermo 4-1 “Euphoria Mood”

Napoli-Roma 1-3: “The Great Leap”

A very important day for the rest of the season of AS Roma. The victory over Napoli sends a clear message to the rest of the pack; the knowledge that on paper only Juve are stronger. At the San Paolo stadium today Roma showed again superiority after doing the same by beating Inter Milan. Another victory of strength, Roma deserved the three points, that propel Napoli-Roma 1-3: “The Great Leap”

Roma-Inter 2-1 “Edin, at last”

An entertaining match!  Frenetic and pulsating until the last second!  It was an open match, with lots of scoring chances on both sides.  At the end, Roma clinched a 2-1 victory thanks to Dzeko’s early goal – his fifth of the season, and Manolas’ first goal of the season, via a deflection off Mauro Icardi.  Roma-Inter 2-1 “Edin, at last”

Roma-Astra 4-0. Europe Totti

It’s hard to believe Francesco totti has turned 40 last Tuesday. Francesco capped another memorable week with three assists as Roma thrashed Astra Giurgiu 4-0 in Group E of the Europa League.  The genius playmaker, who scored his 250th Serie A goal on Sunday made the difference once again. The hosts took the lead in the Roma-Astra 4-0. Europe Totti

Roma-Crotone 4-0. A predictable feast

Roma are back to winning ways against newly promoted Crotone FC.  4-0 the final score. A feast, as expected. Although it was never really a contest, there were some scary moments in defense at the very beginning of the match and, at the very end of the match, as the coach pointed out.   The usual lack of concentration that you might get away against Roma-Crotone 4-0. A predictable feast

Fiorentina-Roma 1-0. Step forward or step back?

An undeserved defeat. Better than Fiorentina but zero points. Performance was good overall, better than recent ones, at least. A couple of negative episodes, goal offside and penalty denied, the ref did not help but we denoted the usual limitations. The team is unable to control and finish off, and the replacements on the bench aren’t good enough.  Nainnggolan and Strootman kept sweating in the middle, Manolas Fiorentina-Roma 1-0. Step forward or step back?

Viktoria Plzen-Roma 1-1. A European deferral

“Deferral” is the word used by Luciano Spalletti after the 1-1 draw in Plzen: Any thoughts postponed until next match, he told the media. Make no mistakes, the team played like a bunch of fools wandering around the field. The subs who started did not exploit their chance, and you need to impress at once if you want to remain at Roma. Spalletti has accused his players again. Viktoria Plzen-Roma 1-1. A European deferral
