There's been some flashes in the first half, but have to be sharper. Dzeko is playing like his dog died. Everytime he touches the ball it's a disaster. Flo has been brutal. Not a single good ball sent into the box, and awful giveaways. Perotti hasn't been as sharp today, but he's still the most active player on the field and makes things happen. Salah has been explosive, but not much to show for it. Radja has had a great half. Some great balls into space, very decisive. We have to be much sharper in the final third. We're working it well through the midfield but really no answers around the box. Dzeko is the source of these problems, but the delivery must be better from our wingers.
That was a difficult skill for Salah, ball control and definition within one second with the keeper and defender pressing on you... Can't blame him for missing it.
whoever made the decision to let florenzi take set pieces needs to have their decision making powers revoked immediately.
http://livetv.sx/ I have this site bookmarked on my desktop for when my local stream+TV decides to ******** romanisti up and don't broadcast the match. At least the streams on this site don't pause at every minute. Now about the match... mediocre half. The biggest plus so far is probably that Digne doesn't receive that many ball in the final third - his decision making and crossing abilities are just... I am still not sure if Dzeko`s presence on the field helps us or not. He've done something useful just twice in the whole half. It's way too little gain to accept playing with 10 men in exchange.
get Dzeko the ******** off, he needs to understand that this is just unacceptable. He's simply not doing any effort out there and he's miscontrolling the ball like he's a 10 year old ffs
This team is just all around pathetic without Pjanic, but Roma fans can't wait to sell him to fill the team with Florenzis and Ninjas (though Ninja is our best player today).
yea, the 2 guys on this squad, when they are playing well, that are elite are Pjanic and Salah. Ninja playing really well today.
Tricky conditions. Very greasy surface. Nonetheless we need to up our game big time in the 2nd half. One good chance created against Carpi in 45 mins is bad by any standard. And yes, Dzeko has been poor yet again. I would get Pjanic in for Dzeko immediately.
Well he is our lone striker and we are trying to direct all our game through him, so that's not an accomplishment.
Really? He's had one good touch all afternoon. He has without a doubt killed about 6 times as many chances as he's been involved in.
Hope we can score some scrappy goal and get the three points, because this game is not going to get any prettier.
