    Roma need to move on quickly now. Our EL campaign is over. The past.

    The hugely important objective of finishing, at worst, 2nd in Serie A, is the main focus now. Failure to finish in an automatic CL qualification spot will have negative ramifications no doubt.

    This game marks the end of a hectic schedule for the team and the start of an international break, after which, without EL football, a return to a straightforward (Lazio in the Coppa aside) schedule will commence. It's vitally important Roma end this period of the season on a positive note with victory here and then a return to action on April 1st with a renewed focus and sense of purpose.

    Take a look at Roma's next five league games.

    Sassuolo (H)
    Empoli (H)
    Bologna (A)
    Atalanta (H)
    Pescara (A)

    For me the toughest of these games is this one, only because it follows on quickly from the energy sapping efforts of last night.

    Win this, start again in April.

    We've never lost to Sassuolo but also have never beaten them at home. 3 away wins, 3 home draws.

    That has to change tonight!

    He has some skills no doubt- he is just not a defensive midfielder by any stretch

    Paredes gets yelled at by Spalletti for not moving into space and proceeds to make a great pass to Salah and score a great goal.

    Strootman is finally consistently playing like he did pre-injuries.
