The 2014/15 Calcio Saga II

Fiorentina, forever overrated in goallegacy.

I see we are back to claiming Montella is a GOAT.

If not the constant injuries of their best playplayers, they would be the best...

This is the best Fio can offer. Sure wiht G.Rossi things would ahve been different but I don't think they can and will improve. Also I want to see Salah next season I have a feeling he will turn out into another Crudado.

I don't think there are doubts about it considering our tradition in Napoli

I think their team is overrated  , I mean if you take away 3-4 players the rest is average ( and we must rate still Pepito Rossi ? ) .. never carried away from wankfest on Fiorentina , but  Montella is really very good evertime  to maximize the team , even when there are the injuries imo.
even this year top 4-5 , maybe again Coppa Italia final , good EL ..

Parades yelling at Mattiello's face while he cries about his leg, what a piece of s^&*t. Even Gervinho warned him.

Awful again. Can't blame Rudi for this one as he did try something different at least and the same results happened. This is all on the players for me. They looked absolutely devoid of life and were just too content to simply knock the ball around. This is a mentality problem.

2nd place has become the poison pill for this side and with Juve out of sight and Napoli too slow to take advantage already of the draws, they don't feel any pressure.

We need to have 2nd place taken from us for this gray streak to be snapped, I'd say. Not a coaching problem, not a tactical problem, not a transfer problem. Today confirmed this is all purely mental.

What was different today tactically from the other Roma games?

Roma had 1 draw in their first 13 Serie A games, now they have 10 in their last 13, that's crazy!

I think that Roma's tactics are well known now, exploiting the threat from their wings, Gervinho especially... Its no secret. Juve allowed them to do nothing, thus scoring from a set piece..

Yeah, better if Roma take 3rd palce so that Napoli wont *bleep* it up in the CL qualifactions like they did last year vs Bilbao...

The 0-0 draw with Chievo was overshadowed by a horrific injury for Federico Mattiello, who suffered a double fracture of tibia and fibula.

I'm sure he will be back stronger!

Eduardo ex arsenal had the same injury, but he got back on track

He was never the same player.

Hard to tell honestly, but the name of the game today appeared to be: get the ball to Gervinho. The problem is, Gervinho has been found out. He's no longer unpredictable. Combine that with not allowing Totti space to find him with Pjanic too busy playing 1-2 side-passes with Keita and you have the crux of our attacking problem.

Mattielo is young. We shall wait and see

when did Gervinho get found out exactly ?

his form has dipped after the AFCON and the entire Roma team has been shit since January .

I see that Parma played their home game today (0 - 0 against Atalanta), so are they going to play their games now? How did they get the money to continue? I remember their previous game was cancelled / postponed.

So I guess Inter's much talked about CL spot challenge, powered and energized by the signings of Poldi and Shaq, starts today then, eh

Krasic was awesome too the first 2-3 months and then he was found out. Speed merchants often lack ball control and technique.

Palacio ffs
It's bad to be obliged to choose Palacio or Podolski.
2 years ago it 'd have been great.

Trasition year. My hope is  to grow as Liverpool under Rodgers did since January 2013
They also came from leagues of 7th places and not got even EL place that year despite an improvement but built bricks for future

Higuain LOOOOL
