This is an absolute must win game against a relegation team. Samp are nipping at our heals and ACM have been on a roll lately.
Possibly but if ACM play the way they have the last few games they could very well beat Udi. Either way Roma cannot afford to drop pts against a relegation team.
Dzeko gave this interview that seemed heartfelt. Start showing it on the field, you giant donkey. Start Under. He's starting to get some traction, maybe he can snag a goal and catch some real form.
This month is make or break. If we can put together some good results and re-establish good form and our confidence, then we will at the very least challenge till the end for that top 4 place. However if our current form continues through February then I can see us limping to a 5th place finish at best.
We played really well the first 25-30 mins of the second half against Samp. If we can play like that out of the gate vs Verona we should score a couple and hopefully use that as a springboard.
Alright, the window is over , time to regroup and to refocus. If we have a good Feb , we can get this thing back on the rails pretty quickly. I'd like, at the very least, to have some positive momentum heading into our Shakhtar fixtures. And it starts with you, Dzeko.
Dzeko has put some immense pressure on himself now that he decided to stay. I hope it doesnt backfire
That's what I'm afraid of. He is already prone to confidence issues, I'm not sure extra pressure is the right thing for him. I guess we'll find out. He's here for now , and we just gotta get behind him.
They've picked up points but I don't believe they play that great to be even remotely worried about them. I'm still confident they'll be 7th at best by the end of season.
Did you watch their game vs Lazio? They actually played really, really well.. hands down the best they have played all year. Doesn't mean they have suddenly become great but when a team gets confidence it can change them completely.
Gotta mention that Lazio was robbed on this one. And the wins before were against teams battling relegation. I also don't think they are anywhere close to bother us.
Are you talking about the SA or CI game.. if you are talking CI maybe but in the SA match ACM outplayed them.
According to this EdF might switch to a 4231 with Radja playing behind Dzeko in the trequartista. I think this would be a brilliant move, it worked perfectly last year http://www.forzaroma.info/rassegna-stampa/il-messaggero/la-roma-riparte-usando-il-4-2-3-1/
Alright boys, Sampdoria and Inter both got draws. We've gotta captalize! Come on Dzeko , you loveable lamp post.

Hoping for a win (duh) and (more specifically) for Under to get off the mark. But I'll take any kind of win at this point.
Only one minute in and the kid already looked as if he really wanted to prove himself today. Well deserved after his latest performances.
