    Saw somewhere that Roma have conceded the second amount of shots (20) in Serie A so far, just behind Chievo (23)...

    Thank god our opposition are as bad at finishing as we are, seems like a vote of confidence in a way for Olsen too

    Olsen seems a very good shot stopper and nowhere near as dumb as Doni

    I think I have seen enough of Olsen so far to suggest he will at the very least not be a problem this season.

    Who’s even available to replace him? We simply can’t afford Conte’s wages and I doubt he’d even want to come here.

    What did he say? You wont find it in this pos article. Its quite clear to anyone with ability to read between the lines this Solano is a guesser and hes venting his personal opinion. Hack.

    This whole article is a mess :laugh:

    That’s why he clung to the few certainties left after the restructuring of Monchi: Florenzi at fullback (who was visibly nervous at the end of the match), Under at left wing, and Dzeko at striker.

    Utter nonsense but got to publish that latest post.

    Lol and after reading that, he decided to post that on his website. Or he just read the headline and posted it. If thats the quality he aims for I wont be clicking anymore romapress links.

    Sal in his basement, hacked into the next door neighbours WiFi could post better content.

    He's translating articles about Roma in the Italian press into English so English-speaking fans can read and (in your case) complain about it. Do you think Il Messagero is just straight up lying or that as a news publication, they might have some sort of basis for their reporting?

    Their headline reads Palotta is infuriated implying he made such comments on the last match but he never did. Cheap trash looking to stir up trouble.

    Are you implying news publications don’t make up half their stories?

    He is choosing to translate the type articles that jump from Pallotta saying "I'm disappointed in the poor finishing" to write "Dzeko on way out; Palotta "disappointed""

    And doing so precisely when fans are frustrated with Dzeko and ready to click on that link.

    I think that's what La Magica means by hack.

    Yes. Major news publications don’t make up their stories. Not sure about Il Messagero.

    Il Messaggero is a newspaper from Rome that has reliable reporters who cover Roma. He translates their pieces a lot:

    http://romapress.us/2018/08/12/roma-pressing-for-nzonzi/

    http://romapress.us/2018/08/05/roma-aim-for-samassekou/

    http://romapress.us/2018/08/13/decisive-hours-for-nzonzi/

    http://romapress.us/2018/06/24/frosinone-interested-in-castan/

    Also, if you follow Solano on Twitter, he supports Monchi and has only recently said that the club should consider another coach.

    Again? I was referring to Il Messaggero here. L''immortale had already told me that. On the first post you quoted me on, I was asking why you would romapress repost that on their website as its garbage with a click bait title. The fact many other sites are copying tells me they're all the same.

    A loss to Bologna and I think he’s done. Just one of many sacrificed for Monchi’s football manager save.
