Chelsea v. Roma Stamford Bridge 2:45 on one of the FS channels Will we take a commanding position in the group with a win or will we make it three losses in a row in all competitions? Morata looks set to make his return while Kante, Moses, and Drinkwater are out for us. In the league, we're currently taking a huge dump, 9 points behind Manchester City. AS Roma are in 5th place in Serie A, peeling off 4 wins in a row (Verona, Benevento, Udinese, Milan) before losing to Napoli this past week. In the CL, they've drawn Ateltico and beat Quarkbag. Prediction: Nainggolan will score the odd goal and Roma wins 2-1.
The team looked so good in the last round and yet so poor in the last game, I wonder which will turn up for this one? I reckon Rome fans might be feeling the same way about their team.

Wonder if the US tries to cap him with the senior team now that we missed out on the WC and will likely look to give time to youth.
2-1. We're playing like the away team, beating Roma on the counter. Kolarov got past two guys easily and made a nice deflected goal.
We aren't very good. Strange how organized and how much of a unit we were initially with the 3-4-3 and its slowly just kind of devolved.
3-2 Roma. Yikes. 3 losses on the trot ain't pretty. Kante-less or not, we look totally disorganized. Absolutely clueless today. For a team that gets tactics drilled into its brains every day we sure don't look it...
Pointless free kick to give away for their third and non existent marking. We miss Kante so much. So poor right now and worse, predictable.
