La Derby della Capitale Discussion Thread

[McLewis]

My sentiments somewhat

What a match we have on our hands here though.

Squad news is that 'Hos is fit again and AA has tried him out at RB. Might be a good move considering his ability to defend well and doesn't seem to have a problem getting forward when he can. This also works because Torosidis could miss out as he's been training separately in the gym and with physiotherapy, meaning he's got a knock of some sort. Pjanic was tried as the creative hub of a 3-man midfield along with Bradley and DDR as the pivots.

Marquinhos at RB could be great.

Any news on Hernanes? will he play? I hope no

Anyway, we are sort of favorites, I guess.

Actually there is no clear favorite in this game , if you consider Nazio haven't lost Darby in 4 games and to add to that destro and florenzi missed trainings for u21 campaign , its a close game , i hope we make it to EL safe and sound

[flameas]

I coudnt give a rats ass about EL, its the throphy I want. Its been a while since the last one.

And to be fair, in last derby, which was with AA, we looked better than Lazio, and lately we have been in better form. We should have beaten Milan also.

Lazio, meanwhile, have been quite dreaful lately.Ofcourse it doesnt mean anything in a derby, but still.
Also, I wonder what formation we will use. The 4-2-3-1 worked well against Napoli, but when totti returns.. where will he play? The 4-3-3 is too unbalanced in my opinion. Also, Maquinho must play. That dude has been on fire lately.

[Lupi]

dodo?

[flameas]

probably our first choice in leftback

[JAY-Z]

This guy, again..

[flameas]

*bleep* everything..

[Patrick Bateman]

This team lacks passion and has no balls,*bleep* pathetic performance.These players need to take a good long hard luck at themselves.

PS - fire that Moron AA asap

[flameas]

lazio played dirty.. ledesma should have been sent off ages ago.. bradley should never join an attack again.. pathetic..

why we played long balls? stupid..

this hurts too much

[narbeZ]

Sad showing by us for the biggest game of the year.

Lazio deserved this game. They deserved to play in Europe next year. Going far in all three competitions they were in, and only injuries kept them from securing a EL berth by default.\

We have a long way to go, and this game just proves it...Totti was swamped by Onazi all night, had no where to go, was rendered useless and I don't understand starting DDR in this match, esp with Bradley on the field.

Will be an interesting summer to say the least.

[narbeZ]

Sell, Sell , Sell Sabatini.

Ps. Taddei got a haircut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flameas]

Fortunately im too drunk to say anything too stupid and get myself banned from the forum..

[Lupi]

we are not in Europe again , we don't perform nor get result

cant point finger at anyone specific and call it a day but im shocked why AA didn't use pjanic or perrotta

and if i was in charge i would have tried to sell DDR and use his salary to get mourinho but Baldini goes for his men loving process of coarse

congrats to lazio , they deserved it

[ErPupone]

This team lacks passion and has no balls,*bleep* pathetic performance.These players need to take a good long hard luck at themselves...while getting their asses kicked out the door

PS - fire that Moron AA asap

Agreed

[flameas]

any roma fan who gontratulates lazio isnt a roma fan

[Lupi]

Lazio has more serie b Trophy , they are a strong team ! but i believe they did better than Roma , you can only fix problems when u admit that they exist

[McLewis]

Lazio were not better than Roma. We dominated the game, had the better chances and failed to put them away. They simply took their chance, however fortunate it was (can't blame Lobont completely for spilling that infront of Lulic).

This team is not built to win cups just yet. The mentality is not there, as this game no doubt showed. Simply put, these lads bottled it. They do not know how to step up and face a challenge head on without losing their heads and until that happens, we'll continue to be the lovable losers. As for AA, well this team's fragile mentality reflects directly on the leadership they were given (or lack thereof). This team needed him most to lead and get them going for this game and he failed to do that. This was the ultimate interview for the permanent job and he simply didn't do enough. For that, he must go, but I bear no ill will towards him. He's been a loyal servant of the club and was called upon to do a job, which he did more or less. We are definitely not worse off than last year, but unfortunately, we aren't better off and that is crucial.

Many of us tire of losing, but we must remember: This is still a project and this team is still a work in progress. We definitely should've beaten this Lazio side on talent alone, but talent doesn't win matches and we were shown that yet again this weekend. Lazio showed grit and played like utter shit, but still won. They have never been known to play expressive football, but none the less, they have the better recent derby record and have consistently done better than us, season in and season out. That should tell us all something.
