I can guarantee you the Juve will not be dropping points to Bologna at home, Sassuolo away, Atalanta at home, and Cagliari at home.
We should just give our bench some chances for the rest of the season, its more beneficial than continuing to play our best players for the sake of records. I'd like to see Romangoli and Jedvaj get some chances in CB and Dodo start as LB for the rest of the season. Also Ljajic and Florenzi should get more time.
play Ljajic and drive up his asking price and transfer value rotate Torosidis/Romagnoli/Dodo to see where they stand for the next season and if they warrant being sold or loaned out give Bastos/Toloi some further games to evaluate whether or not we should keep them for next season. play Jedvaj before he gets pissed off for lack of playing time. same with Skorupski try Florenzi in central midfield in his natural position
Though you can't read to much into it, Garcia's reaction to Ljajic when he subbed him Saturday certainly supports your idea. It was a very "that's what I've been waiting for" interaction.
Garcia is a players coach. You could see it by how much happier they are playing for him. I'm sure Hazard would love to come back to play for Garcia if he could.
Scudetto or not, I am just thankful that I still have 6 games to enjoy watching this amazing team. I have nothing but sweet memories to take from this season. The management, the coach and the players they all made me proud. It is a shame it will go without a prize but in reality they won the biggest prize: the love and admiration of their fans. I remember how I felt at the opening day, and how I feel now and it feels like 100 years in between. I didn't support this team for titles but for the love, pride and passion. And they provided plenty of it in the past 8 months. So grazie Roma for giving me one of my best seasons ever as a Romanista.
I feel the same way , this summer i agreed with maybe only the Strootman transfer only. "Benatia? 13m is too much for a CB" "Maicon? This dude's career was over in 2010" "Ljajic is a liability" "Gervinho never scores" "Who the ******** is Garcia , Zorro's sergeant?" "Why did we just sell our best players , what the ********." I've said all of those things , and now that the season is practically over, i wanna say thank you Rudi and Saba , and sorry for being so skeptical , our new players were fundamental and amazing.
@schnix Where can i download roma games from this season? so i can download the whole season and watch it like a tv show
register at www. f b t z .com. but they probably dont have matches more than a few months old because they're probably taken down by copyright violations already piratebay has some tor r ents for Roma matches, but you'll be lucky if you can find one with enough seeders
i also have all the Roma matches this season (even the ones we drew/lost), but i dont have the time or bandwidth to upload every single one of them if you have a specific match you want, i can upload it. if you want all of them, i can probably burn them onto DVDs. it'll be faster for me to do that than to upload them. you just have to reimburse me for the DVDs and shipping from USA to yours. i wont charge extra my Roma 2013/14 folder is currently at 65 gigs with 5 matches to go, that's roughly the size of 7 DVD's (dual layered). i also have 2013/14 Roma highlights for most matches and screenshots/images of players celebrating, curva choreography, funny videos/clips, whoscored statistics, etc.
I wouldn't ever be able to watch all 38... i'd keep asking myself how we lost a Scudetto with such splendid play. i would also beat myself up for those 5 ties in a row.
i'll probably delete the folder once we actually win a scudetto or CL but even if we do win something, it'll be tough to top this season in terms of performance and attractiveness. this is a record breaking season for us in terms of points and GD
our goal difference of +49 is actually the highest ever achieved in Serie A. unfortunately, Juve also have +49 this season. even Inter's record breaking 2006/07 season only had them at +46 just for reference, here are some GD's in the past Roma 1941/42: GD=34 Roma 1982/83: GD=23 Roma 2000/01: GD=35 Roma 2013/14: GD=49* (so far) and here are the scudetto winners since 2004 (the start of the 38-game season): Juve 2004/05, GD=40 Juve 2005/06, GD=47 Inter 2005/06, GD=38 Inter 2006/07, GD=46 Inter 2007/08, GD=43 Inter 2008/09, GD=38 Inter 2009/10, GD=41 Milan 2010/11, GD=41 Juve 2011/12, GD=48 Juve 2012/13, GD=47 Juve 2013/14: GD=49*(so far) we also took 79 points out a possible 99 so far, which is 80%, which is tied with Juve's 2005/2006 season which also had them won 80% of possible points (this season they're at 89%) what i'm trying to describe is that this Roma season is probably the 2nd best performing squad in the history of the Italian Championship. but unfortunately, Juve trumped us with the 1st best performing squad in Italian championship history. put Roma's 2013/14 squad in any season in the past and we'd easily win the scudetto
it's my German side. we're good with numbers and money thats why we own the Greeks i'm only half German though. which explains why i still suck at math...
