with Maicon , dodo , Balzaretti out and Totti&Florenzi despite recovery from his injury romagnoli will probably play as left back . hopefully toro plays as right back and strootman , ddr and ninja should play at midfield , pjanic , gervinho ,destro for attacking dep . Inter under WM uses counter attacks so castan and benatia should be on top of their game specially against palacio and the young Icardi .Im not sure if hernanes will feature in the game or not but that will be ddr job to silence him

win can help Roma to get advantage of EL games for Napoli , Juve , and fiorentina , to keep the distance from Napoli and hopefully waiting for any slip up from Juve but i smell a tie from this one   

Our biggest problems is that Italian FA has practically shut down the Olympico.. and they wonder why Serie A isnt as popular as EPL.. playing this type of a game - a huge game - in an empty stadium? Idiotic. No words can describe how disappointed i am at these decisions.

A win is a must. Bologna game was awful, we need to get our shit together.

Destroy that pos team.

0-0 draw with some big chances getting missed.

Will do some damage should Napoli beat Livorno.

The depth issues are rearing their ugly head again. It was up front before and now its in the back.

with pjanic in the game changed , if before i thought Roma should not sell miralem now i say not only pjanic needs to stay , we should get a back up layer for him as well . As predictable as it can get really with ljajic they just cant break the opponent and gervinho goes on useless dribbling and its like Moses separated our midfield from forwards . only thing good for me was romagnoli , 4rth roman is showing his worth  

De Rossi  

Dafuq was that...Handled himself very badly tonight,disgraceful for a team captain.

when the player in question is De Rossi  there is no wonder, I lost the count how many times he has done this  thing.
I love him as player but he always does everything to try to change my idea

I always feel we should win, but De Rossi's "passion" continues to test my last nerve. He is having a very good year, especially considered how poor he was last season, but we need/expect players of his caliber to push us through in big games. However, he seems to always be a hindrance when it really matters.

Oh well, another non-loss, but that's another 2 points lost. We will safely finish in the CL spots, but we need more options off the bench if we wish to challenge for the Scudetto and the CL next season. Really wish we had Lamela/Bradley today...

(I would note I am currently drunk, so don't hold this or any post against me)

 after a day that roma needed a goal 4 former romanisti scoring , viviani , borini , caprari and even okaka    cant get much weirder

As for DDR...his behavior was disgraceful. Saw the video of him aiming a punch at Icardi....that's going to get him a ban from Italy via Prandelli's code of ethics...and rightly so. He didn't lead this team yesterday.

like he has any one to replace him with , this Italy side is short of any real talent to begin with let alone with DDR out , unless you think poli or nocerino are real deal then i'd recommend you to watch more footy . regardless my theory on this brain stoppages  is this , these has to do with his character , some people like myself have to have clear picture of what they are doing to perform well in the games when he needs to defend and cant find a popper play maker or even find of the ball movement to plan out attack on his own he get frustrated and does things like that . his action was wrong that's for sure but i enjoyed it that might be the messed up thing to say but well its something i can relate

DDR banned for 3 matches

Did that guy who elbowed Romangioli got a ban?

yes, Juan Jesus also got the ban for 3 matches.

Thats bad because we needed him against Napoli , but well theres ninja to cover for him and lets hope pjanic gets better

Yea I am sure Stoortman-Nainggolan-Pjanic would be good enough for the next 3 games. It might work out for the better since all of them will be trying their best to keep their places even when DDR comes back.

that however is not as easy , as ddr tends to go back and help defense and with Napoli as a team who tries to bypass our midfield to get the game to our half , that's a big loss i dont know how will Garcia rearrange the team i just hope he wont do same as he did in cup game

strootman got subbed for injury   just hate friendly international games
