I think so. Touch and go. We've had 14 guys score this season, though, so his presence is not as critical as it has been in the past.
Important match...we're right on their tails. Montella will be motivated to get a result at the Olimpico.
They tied 2-2 today with Sampdoria. An even bigger match now, a win will move us up. Lets get that W at home in front of the home fans!
With a win we are 2-4 points away from CL-spot and we will play Napoli, so it is all in our hands now.
Fiorentina is really the revelation of the season...Montela injects confidence & enthusiasm into his players and his teams play for him. We need a full 90 of hard-hitting football or we will loose.
Pizarro was talking trash after last night's match. I hope we put that midget mercenary in his place next week.
He was our best player in 2009 - 2010, when we were close to win the title Until Vucinic quit on team playing vs sampdoria...
I liked him, and he would've been quite a good regista for Zeman, but after the things he did — refusing to play, faking injuries and sabotaging transfers time after time, I doubt he deserves a warm welcome from the tifosi at the Olimpico. I would like to see Montella acknowledged with a banner or the likes though, after all Il Aeroplanino did for us back in the day I believe he deserves it. Montella isn't ready to coach Roma, not because of his ability as a coach, he's proven he's got absolute talent as a coach, but the problem with him and this Roma is due to his ties with the older guard, sometime later, when he's matured and the dressing room at Roma has changed, I would like to see him back — Maybe at the new stadium
Next three games are going to be huge for us. If we can win at least two out of three, or even just win one and draw two it could set us up to start moving up the table in January. Second half of the season is where the real battle for 2nd-5th is going to take place just like last year. Inter are already starting to slow down, and we all know Napoli and Lazio are not going to continue this form once the injuries start to kick in. This is the time where we need to start to hit form.
is DDR eligible to play? I would not put Pjanic in midfield over Florenzi. Pjanic plays awful in the midfield. I wonder what will happen with 1) Destro and Osvaldo and 2) Pjanic if Lamela is fit. Totti will not be on the bench obviously
If we lose, and de rossi/stek play... I am sure every roma forum will explode on ddr/stek being the reasons behind it.
