Napoli vs Roma

Coppa Italia continues with Roma facing another task to face napoli having a 1 goal lead to get another chance at cup . with ninja out i think midfield options are rather easy with trio of DDR, Strootman and Pjanic witch sounds great at first but i think the washing machine needs some rest .The same case scenario goes for Gervinho in attacking dep . Napoli will probably come to take the best out of their attacking force so its good as we probably wont see a similar game against nazio which is a brace of scared ducks in their imaginary lake in front of their goal . better finishing required

ref will be Mr. Gianluca Rocchi from Florence , the referee of the second leg of the Tim Cup between Naples and Rome scheduled for tomorrow evening at 20:45 at the Stadio San Paolo
Forza Roma

It's really going to come down whether we can manage our lead in this tie.

Roma obviously won't go to the San Paolo with the intent to just sit onthe 3-2 lead, but we have to expect that Napoli are probably going to score in this game. Defense hasn't been as good as it can be and MDS has begun to show some signs of why he's only a temporary option.

It's going to be a bit of slugfest I think....each team trading goals as numbers are poured forward. We have enough to outlast them in that regard though. Gervinho made a mockery of their defense and I think he'll do it again if he can put even a quarter of his chances away.

I think ljajic , destro, gerv will start the game maybe to use their pace and totti to play as a sub

Also maicon is out as Bastos plays left back , is that a disaster waiting to happen?

De Sanctis; Torosidis, Benatia, Castan, Bastos; Pjanic, De Rossi, Strootman; Ljajic, Destro, Gervinho

3-0

Terrible performance why the *bleep* ljajic started and destro , wtf

Implosion.

A pattern for Roma it seems. This team is incapable of being edged out. If they're going to lose games, they'll do it spectacularly.

I said it after the Juve loss and I'll say it again....this Roma side are still not quite mature enough for the big time...despite having quite a few veterans on the team. I think that's particularly worrying.

This is for the best ultimately. Another Coppa final would've been too soon for us.

Grazie Roma.

On to Sampdoria.

Horrible I can't even make a word , if I want to try I would say you just don't go try to beat Napoli using its own tactic and with destro , terrible

Yet another season without any silerware.. it hurts. It really does. Sampdoria will feel the wrath of the Romanisti on Sunday!

this one was the worst performance of the season yet, failing to make goal scoring opportunities was disappointing but i guess that's destro and ljajic for you
