the quest for European football continues for Roma  with a trip to Verona to face of flying donkeys in bentegodi stadium . As I'm searching my memories i find this match really difficult for Roma and to some extend to every team with more of attacking approach in serie A . it might be duo to their simple but effective style of football , their possession stats is usually low  and mostly right in front of their defence of cesar and danieli with the midfield led by rigoni and randovanovic . simple , few but effective passes to wingers and their own version of Totti with the name of pellissier has kept them in serie A for years even though pellissier seems to not having a best of season , that had negative results for them during the course of the season but was enough to snach a point from Roma even in the very last game . As for Roma things are pretty much the same as last game except Maicon will be back but Ninja has a yellow card . I expect to see DS -Maicon-Benatia, Castan, Dodo; Pjanic, Nainggolan, Taddei; Destro, Totti, Gervinho with possible sub of Ljajic after an hour mark . This is one of the games that Roma needs to win in order to claim the second place and to do so they need to find a way to get by chievo's layers of defence . Im expecting either an ugly win or another draw

Chievo have been tough to beat at home this season. Juve have struggled massively there, but still managed to break them when it counted. Roma can do the same. There will be no Michael Bradley to save us this time though from a very damaging draw should we fire blanks.

It's a very straightforward scenario, we must win this game to stay ahead of Napoli, who will now have no further European commitments, allowing them to focus solely on Serie A until the Coppa final.

Juventus had a different case but yeah we should win this game specially because Napoli is facing fiorentina , may be we get our own favors from Montella and other ex romanisti

taddei has been excellent   

turned out rather easy game ,3 points in the bag . that was the plan , great job lads

Taddei reborn as a CM ....what a versatile player he's been over the years. Started as a winger, moved to full-back and now a midfielder. Loyal servant of the club as well.

Bit slow though, but yearh Taddei was good. He supposed to be a great person to have in the locker room as well.

Straightforward win, 6 points ahead of Napoli with one game in hand. Second place looks certain.

he played as a regista and that doesn't need much of speed , he did shockingly well   
and Fiorentina beat Napoli    Grazie Montella

Torino on Tuesday then....very little time for rest here. That's going to be of some concern.
