The 2016/2017 Calcio Saga

Need someone to post the clips of Cuadrado's run and miss and Sturaro's run and miss at the end of the game

Cuadrado's would have been one of the goals of the season, he destroyed several defenders

Missed the game... how was the midfield tonight ? Shitty or underwhelming ?

The midfield was ok. Pjanic was the highlight, Sturaro was good except for a miss. Particularly, he was smart tactically with runs through the center, but also going all the way wide when Sandro was cutting in. Hernanes was Hernanes, not terrible, not great. The worse of the three but still ok.

Rruan.....shocking stuff.

He's Simone Loria-level bad. Full stop.

Swear Roma sold Perotti lol.

Meh, we kept him and he rewarded us with a hideous neck tattoo.

Strootman is struggling today.

Bad passes, bad tackles.

Its a Roma tradition at this point. Im glad Pjanic never got one.

How is Roma-Bologna looking?

HT - The finishing touch isn't there, even though everything else has been. That said, we've been lucky Bologna haven't knicked one. They've had some good looks.

Dzeko still looked the best player out there. Confident on the ball, holding up play well too. Just missing a gaol from one of those 2 good chances he had. I think that's coming.

As Bologna, Krecji and Sadiq have had good chances. Sadiq looks to have picked up a knock so I wouldn't be surprised if Destro comes in at some point in the 2nd half. Bologna are still very much in this if Roma can't find another goal. Beyond that, we've shredded them with ease down the flanks.

Destro on. We'll see if the ex-Roma curse strikes us through him.

Salah clear chance stopped by the ref for no real reason.....awful decision.

2-0 Salah.

It's been too easy for him today. Great energy all over the pitch, tracking back as well as making excellent runs forward, beating his man nearly every time.

He's not going to just leave a gaping hole on our right flank come AFCON, he's going to leave an absolute abyss.

Hadn't thought about Salah and the AFCON. Thats gonna be awful. Perotti as RW? Iturbe?

Salah hattrick

3-0 Salah. Tap in for his hat trick.....ridiculously good today.

Yeah we're either going with Iturbe on the right or we're dipping into the market. I'd prefer we just dip into the market.

Rescue Berardi from Inter and go all out for him pls

Would this be Roma's first clean sheet win In Serie A this season?

Our third actually....we kept clean sheets against Udinese and Crotone.

Wouldn't mind Berardi at all. Just worry how that all works out when Salah comes back from AFCON, if fit of course.

It'd be great imo. Berardi gets injured often enough. Also, giving Salah rest here and there would keep him fresh to maintain form. Likely wont happen though, I doubt Sassuolo sell him before the summer.

Salah off. Fantastic performance. Could've had 4, but is trying to give Dzeko another goal, I imagine.

FT. job done.

Salah rightfully deserves all the plaudits today. Superb.

3-0 FT

Roma are scoring an unreal amount of goals. With the right winter market Roma can win the Scudetto. A RW to cover Salah, and a defender.

When is Mario Rui back?

Palermo as a team scored - 9
Ilija Nestorovski scored 6 for Palermo

He starts playing with the Primavera next week, I think.

That will be very welcome if he's still the player we signed, but at this point he's a huge question mark.

I think we need 2 full-backs (or 1 CB who can play full-back) and a winger. Still would like another striker who can deputize for Dzeko as well.

The issue is if we bring in too many new faces mid-season, it's going to mess with the chemistry. Too few and we'll start coughing up unnecessary points due to injury. Winter mercato needs to be balanced more than anything.

What do you think of the next match, Atalanta-Roma?
