Pjanic and Destro are back, and hopefully Marcos can play too. Pray that nobody gets injured or suspended.

I would start strikerless and have Totti dropping in deep to check from the top spot with Ozzy on the bench. I'd put Florenzi in Totti's place up above from there. Destro I would put in for centreforward 2nd half depending on the game situation. Marcos is right footed so I would have him on the right and also Castan is a lefty and I would have him on the left. Burdi meh I'd rather start Romagnoli left, keep Castan right, and Marcos as cb.
I concur with everything you said, except I would play Piris on the right instead of Castan. Unless he's suspended - I can never keep track.
I was predicting the line up, not saying who I would start. I like your idea of playing without a striker, but have we done that this season?
Rumored that Osvaldo will be again benched against Palermo. Also he got into an argument on Twitter with a user who criticized him.
A familiar routine on this forum now, post some stupid bull about Osvaldo and the usual suspects get a hard on.
Yeah a couple weeks ago and osvaldo came in the 2nd half. Requires a lottt of moving... Twitter is so lame I=
lamela tipped to score first "Having netting the opener in Roma's last 2 outings, Erik Lamela could be worth a punt at 6.00 to bag first on Roma's trip to Sicily to face rock-bottom Palermo this weekend. Whilst much of the reason for Palermo's lowly position is their abysmal away record, their home results still leave a lot to be desired. They are without a win in 16 games and in that terrible run, they have only scored the first goal on 3 occasions, one of which came against Serie B side Verona in the Coppa Italia. Roma's mixed away form has improved of late, with only 1 loss in the last 5 outings on the road, in which they have netted first more often that not. Lamela has scored as many 'first goals' this season as Lionel Messi (6), and has a good chance to add to that tally this weekend." from whoscored
What is better if we want to sell Osvaldo in summer , we bench him or let him play ? What increase on decrease his value ? Osvaldo was our top scorer last year and he did well in our season opener.If he is in well shape (phisically and mentally) osvaldo is pretty good goal poucher, he is pretty deadly in headers. I think its smarter to let him play and reconstruct his confidence.
The Osvaldo of today is Borriello... with a hangover. Will score the goals where he receives the ball right on his foot/head, and unlike Borriello he won't fight to get that extra couple of inches for perfect positioning using his physique.
Both Destro and Pjanic in the squad list for tomorrow: BALZARETTI BRADLEY BURDISSO CASTAN DE ROSSI DESTRO DODO' FLORENZI GOICOECHEA LAMELA LOBONT MARQUINHO OSVALDO PERROTTA PIRIS PJANIC ROMAGNOLI STEKELENBURG TACHTSIDIS TADDEI TOROSIDIS TOTTI
I hate playing teams that are being seriously threatened by the drop, relagation is a huge motivator. BTW, zamparini just doubled the bonus to the players for staying in serie a.
AA reveals Destro specifically asked to go with the group to Palermo. Plan originally was to have him stay at Trigoria because not fit.
Chances are running out for them and it is very dangerous. Palermo have the quality and if they manage to click on the day, they can cause a lot of trouble. I am not sure what to expect from this game
