Yeah at this point I have gone from "Hopefully we make the EL" to "Hopefully we don't get relegated"

Although ruining Juve's chance would almost be like a title, and they're going to play full strength against Bayern midweek. So we'll see.

Just checked the fixture list. We still have to play Juve, Inter, Roma and Napoli. F***. In 2016 Torino has only won 2 games.

I want him to reach the heights of Totti and DDR, but those guys had defined roles in the team that suited their strengths and they became loved for it. Florenzi dosen't have that advantage, which has divided opinions of him among many Romanisti: Those who recognize how versatile he is and what he brings to each position and others who seem only as a hard-working, soft spoken Roman getting the "Capitano Futuro" label based on his place of birth only, lacking decidedly less talent than his predecessors.

As much as I love Florenzi, I really don't understand why Spalletti insists on playing him as a RB. Sure it's not so bad when Roma plays against a poor team, but after the RM game It was pretty obvious he's just not suitable for that role. He can't mark a player properly, he's poor at transitioning from an offensive to a defensive mode, and lastly his height makes it difficult for him to win any air balls. What would be a suitable position is if he played alongside Nainggolan and DDR (or Keita) in a 4-3-1-2.

Torino bottled it incredibly also against Lazio

Immobile missed the penalty kick of 2-0 , and other easy goals. Then Lazio tied.
At the end Zappacosta missed as the easiest goal to score on 94'
It's the typical Torino.
No hopes for derby considering your awful tradition against Juve too.
Still I hope Udinese and Palermo relegate because they were awful this year , Carpi and Frosinone are alive and they deserved it (Lotito pls ) more than Udi and Pal ( although Frosinone hopes to get saved with 40 points got just at their stadium Laughing

) so I want to believe it Proud

Daniele De Rossi left his World Cup medal in italy's kitman's coffin who died recently, very honorable gesture! Grande Daniele

by Robespierre Sat Mar 19, 2016 9:06 pm

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Mar 19, 2016 9:27 pm

Handanovic :bow:

Edit: and right after that he simply stands as he allows a goal in. Sorry for the jinx robes Laughing

by Robespierre Sat Mar 19, 2016 9:30 pm

Finished. Not easy to play when you have Eder as CF. Eder is the typical player good for provincia, but useless for big team.
The Brazilian Ricky Lambert, ops the Italian.

by McLewis Sat Mar 19, 2016 9:45 pm

Didn't deserve to win that game. No complaints with the draw, though we were really lucky to even get that.

Digne got completely roasted by Biabany over and over again. Dzeko held up the ball well enough, but never looked a threat to Handa, who once again reminds us why he's world class. I truly didn't think we'd score before we got that equalizer.

On other side, I felt SES had another strong game as did Salah. Radja looked up for it though Brozovic had way more of the ball than we should of allowed him to have. Rudiger was easily our strongest defender...literally.

Orsato didn't have a great game in the middle at all. Inconsistent both halves for both sides.

by Robespierre Sat Mar 19, 2016 9:49 pm

The tie was the fairest result today imo.
Very good interpretation of match by us.
We 're having a good moment with Perisic to carry us
Unfortunately we 'll pay those 2 deranged months ( january - february )
