    FINALLY found it buried on Facebook.

    Facebook was hell bent on showing me a replay of leg 1.

    Roma started off well but after that are just sitting back.

    I'm not sure there's much between Under & Bojan.

    They're dominating us.

    Solid defense by Kolarov to mosey back and watch a guy cross the ball in.

    Cross, cross, cross. Easiest thing to defend.

    Gotta press as a unit, or they, as well as any halfway decent side, will kill us.

    I've got an idea. Let's try a long ball.

    They got so bored of our play and gave us a pity corner

    There is absolutely no play through midfield. All long balls or crosses.

    Refs have given us nothing yet either, I can't remember getting a free kick.

    They're perfectly happy 0-0-ing us. They're not even a little worried about our attack.

    Its a tricky scoreline to approach the 2nd leg. Obviously expecting a forceful second half now.

    We are dangerous when we actually have the ball, but our press has been crap, so we are not seeing much of the ball.

    We had few good chances and Under looked onside on one of his million offsides.

    We have to beat that offside trap ffs

    Also lets try smthg different than Perotti passing it to Kolarov and i would be at least happy we tried something...

    Fazio has been absolutely great

    We’ve got to move the ball quicker. That starts with our CB’s.

    Man oh man.

    And get the press organized for fcuk sakes -their goalie is a walking turnover. Dzeko, I hope you were just conserving energy for the 2nd half.

    We forced them to dump it to their keeper, who shanked it into the middle of the field a few times. It's baffling that we made nothing of those chances.

    I like to think we've played that first half somewhat smart. Remember we only need to win 1-0. Question of course is, can we get that one goal AND not concede. Obviously the longer it stays 0-0 the more adventerous we'll need to be. I dont fancy our chances if they take the lead, but right now this game is very finely balanced.

    One way or another we need to say ******** our shape and start hounding these guys. It will leave us exposed , but at least we can create offence from turnovers.

    The pitch is nasty for trying to play fast football on the ground.
