I thought Zeman made the right moves after the red and they played about as well as you could hope 10 to play against 11. If not for the GK mistake and Osvaldo missing a couple of great chances, they might have got a point or all 3. It will be interesting to see if they go back to the Florenzi/Tach/Bradley midfield with DDR suspended or if Pjanic gets a chance due to his wonder goal. The announcer on my stream mentioned how well Lamela and Bradley play together, so my guess is he starts on the right for now.
Apologize, but I'm not quite sure from following the thread. Was it 90 minutes for Michael today, then?
Before the game everyone was playing up DDr's experience.... Another good game by MB. Him and Lamela are bro's I think.
Florenzi got called up though. Pretty impressive for someone so young to make a squad that is usually comprised of seasoned veterans. 3 other Roma players made it too (Balzaretti,Osvaldo,Destro)

His serious error was on the goal that made it 2-1. As for the rest, he defended and tried to regain balance, and his pass nearly made it 3-3."
