    Totti off for Destro.

    Edit: And now Florenzi for Marquinho, hmm.

    Destro on for Totti.
    Marquinho on for Florenzi.

    I want to see Bradley pushed forward, but since there isn't another option for the DM spot I don't expect that to happen.

    Bradley and his teammates are getting in the ear of the ref. A PK may have been given, not sure.

    I think it was Marquinho who stumbled forward with a good chance in the box. He was tripped from behind.

    Ohhhh, penalty called, courtesy of a Bradley pass.

    Osvaldo with a very cocky finish of the PK to the keeper's left. 1-0 Roma.

    Keeper moved too fast, Osvaldo made it look easy.

    Nice little pass to the box, but it wasnt the pass that led to the Marquinho's penalty. Someone else directed to him.

    What a great sequence of passing to lead to a skyed shot. :confused:

    Roma not giving up a goal tells me he's doing quite well.

    Yes.

    Roma have forgotten how to finish a chance since the PK. They will have nobody to blame but themselves if Torino equalize late.

    Not the most attack minded team, he's doing a good job not great but good.

    Never mind about that, Pjanic doubles the lead!

    Edit: Lol and he gets carded for taking off his shirt.

    He doesn't charge into 1v1 challenges and win balls, he's a tactical defender and he ushers attackers into numbers down situations so the team can win the ball. I think he's done quite well today in that regard. Stats won't show a bunch of won tackles but he really played good team defense.

    And a 95% pass completion rate apparently.

    Torino should have had a PK. Piris got a lot of leg in an attempted tackle on a Torino player in the box.

    Yeah his passing has been on the conservative side but extremely accurate all match. That % doesn't surprise me from what I saw.

    I thought it was a flop, and so did the portuguese commentator I'm listening to.

    Yeah, there might have been one or two off passes from the 60+ he sent his teammates' way.

    Overall good game for Bradley IMO, given his role today. Didn't stand out, but didnt make 1 mistake that I can remember.

    Side note: I really enjoy watching this team. I wish more Americans would venture outside the EPL.
