EL: Braga vs Roma (February 18th, 2021)

A very difficult tie awaits us; I would put the odds at about 50-50.

 

We have only 3 defenders available fot this match including Cristante. If someone get injured, we're in big trouble. I don't think any of our fullbacks has experience as CB.

 

Who's confirmed to be out?

 

Smalling and Kumbulla are out, Ibanez is in doubt and Fazio and Juan were not registered.

We might see Spinazzola as a CB again.

Paulo Fonseca confirms Edin Dzeko will start against Sporting Braga tomorrow, but won’t be the Roma captain. ‘Both sides like to take the initiative.’ https://t.co/w8vSQEzT12 #BragaRoma #UEL #ASRoma pic.twitter.com/Xp2aJWqyK2

He said Cristante will be the captain, which means Pellegrini will be rested and probably Mkhi will start alongside Pedro.


I hope Diawara will get a start.

 

So do I.

 

Glad to see Edin Dzeko back.....

 

I'd like to see as strong a team as possible. If there is one thing I've learned over the years it's anybody can win the EL.

 

Funny how our EL players (Borja, Villar, Pau) have all become first teamers at this point

Cool stadium.

 

Get in!

 

What a goal! Brilliant from Cristante all the way to Dzeko!

 

That was pretty.

 

Oh no, Sir Bryan is injured.

 

And now cristante is injured. This is why we can't have nice things

 

Our shape got a little messed up after the substitution.

 

They are struggling sooo baaad to make simple short passes, is the pitch this bad?

 

So, if Ibanez is done....gulp

 

Down 2 center backs? Not great.

 

Veretout is now at RWB.
