What is exactly their project?! It is all well and good saying they have a project but what is it? They are going from one disaster to another. They hire two managers in a row that have won nothing between them and expect results? There is no leadership at the club because the owners do not know head nor tail about football and are content to let others fill the vacuum. They are rudderless and there is only the illusion of a project because there is no tangible progress being made. Roma are not any better then two seasons ago under the previous owners.
That's what I mean. I like Zeman but whomever they need to get they need to give him the backing to roll up his sleeves and get to work, because there's plenty to be done.
A few years down the road Roma is gonna be getting investigated for match fixing because of that goalie.
Zemen will be accountable for the teams failings but not Baldini or Sabatiani. It does not even seem that they are being reviewed and never culpible no matter what happens. Very stupid set up they have.
The Roma project is this.....Get A new stadium and then the americans will sell the team....there thats the project right there....You think americans want to be dealing with B.S that most italian fanbases do? does anyone here realise that might be the biggest reason why foriengers stay away from investing in Serie A?....
At Roma-Liverpool this summer I mentioned to some Roma fans sitting near me that Zeman is an old-school guy and that he is probably going to have some problems getting some of the veteran guys, who have already made their careers, to buy into his system and his ideas on work ethic. Those fans told me that Totti and De Rossi would make sure everyone fell into line. It certainly seems like that never happened. I think that Zeman, and his tactics, are fine. He just needs (young) guys who are willing to work their tails off and really buy into it.
I just told the Roma boys this.....My Dad keeps telling me Zeman is not the problem its the new footballers who dont want to work after getting their fat pay checks....
You guys think Zeman should try coming to the MLS? Or do you think he is to old to learn english and start a new life some where new?
He can go to Montreal and tell Nesta and Di Vaio what to do. Toronto needs talent in all facets as well.
Disagree to a large extent. Zeman has a rigid style and any manager is going to know how he is going to play and can prepere for it. The only time I saw him change this season was at the match against Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia and ironically they won. This is Serie A not Serie B or whatever. All the teams here are well drilled and do the basics extremely well. It is always difficult to win. Any coach has to adapt to the situation not stick stubbernly to one philosiphy which can make you blind to alternitives. Futhermore Goicoechea is not a good goalkeeper, actually he is a bad goalkeeper so why continually perseist with him? Then there is the De Rossi benching and Pjanic not playing as he should. Zeman has made too many mistakes and I do not think he tactics are fine. It is not all Zeman's fault but a large portion of it is Zeman's in my opinion. A team of Roma's calibre shold no way be where they are especially with players like De Rossi, Totti, Lamela, Osvaldo, Pjanic Destro etc etc.
This is what i posted over there. Ya DDR and Steak are going to save Roma Roma does not have a coaching problem it has a player problem....maybe its because you guys are fans and cant see it but the players you have need A) more Serie A experince or B) just are not as good as you think they are.... so getting a new coach is not going to change anything.... What is another coach going to do? Try teaching the kids in the back how to defend in Serie A? Or teach Steak italian so he can tell his defenders what to do? Change the formation? Which causes a problem because everytime you think of changing a formation you have to think "how is Totti going to play in it".....The whole team has been set up wrong from the start it seems like the guys you got scouting players went "well this kid looks promising" and not "this player right here has the stuff we need to play in Serie A and the formation we need him to play in".....talent alone does not make a team....but how the each talent works off the other talent thats on the field.....That right there might be the one thing ive learned from Mazzarri.
Irrelevent unless you actually believe that Roma's squad is worthy of being eighth in the League possibly joint tenth by the end of the week below the likes of Catania who's aim season in season out is to avoid relegation?
No. We are just discussing Roma and their parlous situation and what their problems are and how they can rectify them.
I do Zeman tactics won't make Roma, Europa League place finishers... Lazio have a better squad and team cohesion... Better goalie, better defense, better midfield... Only arguable one is strikers They are comfortably a mid table team with that roster of players and Luis Enrique, Zeman or Montella can coach as well as they like it doesn't mean anything with that squad.
