    Oh Roma, what might have been.

    An already horrid week for the side culminated with Juve dropping a couple of points yesterday. So, not only was an opportunity missed to take a very commanding 8pt lead in 2nd place over Napoli, but also a chance to close the gap on Juve to a not insurmountable looking 5pts. Meanwhile Roma's Coppa Italia hopes are on life support after a deeply disappointing loss to Lazio.

    We'll put it down to tired legs, a lack of genuine depth in the squad and a frankly bizarre decision by LS to revert to a back 4 on Saturday.

    Lyon awaits on Thursday. This is a team that has lost no less than 10 matches in Ligue 1 this season. So world beaters they are not. Roma need to pick up the pieces quickly now and get a positive result here. Another poor performance and the season will be in serious jeopardy.

    If Spalletti stops acting like a coward; then our chances don't look so bad. Attack them hard and we win - this side is even worse then ourselves.

    Thankfully we're returning to the 3-5-2 tonight. Rudiger suspended, so lets hope none of our 3 cbs have to go off with a knock or something cause that would mean Verm coming on.

    Why must ESPN always show Roma on ESPN Deportes? The only streaming channel not included with the normal ESPN package...

    It is because Fox Sports has the rights to the English broadcast and ESPN has rights to the Spanish broadcast. Fox Sports is showing the game on delay. I don't mind it being in Spanish, I'll just mute it anyway.

    We've been playing very well tbh other than conceding a silly goal.

    True but very nervous when we have to defend- Fazio is going to kill us the way he is playing.
