    Probably our best and most consistent full match of football this season. Our attack was very dynamic and active, constantly linking up well and creating a slew of dangerous chances. Could've easily scored at least 2-3 more goals if it weren't for missed golden opportunities and some nice saves by the Palermo keeper. Our backline still looked a little uncoordinated and sloppy at times, but better than usual at least. Our midfielders were also working their asses off and supporting both our attack and defense quite well.

    Horizontal passes are tolerable when they're done within reason and FOR a reason. In LE's setup it seems like they were done for the sole purpose of hanging onto posession that led to nothing and gave the opposition considerable time to set up defensively.

    I listened to Zeman's interview and it's a shame because that translation removed the context and all the charm.

    They had asked Zeman how he feels about Totti when he get's trapped by opposing players and rather than passing will struggle before finally dropping back and making a rushed horizontal pass. Zeman smiling told them that he tells Totti all the time but Totti does what Totti does. It was great moment where you could really feel the bond Zeman and Totti have.
