Still waiting for a big performance in a big game. Given that we celebrated our equaliser today like we'd just won the CL, that might still be a bit much to hope for from this team at the moment.
For Lazio this is more than the derby. A loss here and top 4 is a long ways off for them. They are going to come out guns blazing.
Game of the season for the Laziale.... Nothing to play for... Shit team, shit fans and ugly tops. Perfect time for them to go at us.... Considering how shit we are playing decent teams, this could be a nightmare. We will be victorious.

Former #Roma player Ruggiero Rizzitelli said the #Lazio are ‘a small team’ and is not worried, as the Giallorossi usually ‘struggle against the big’.https://t.co/BOFKYQ6S0y#DerbyDellaCapitale #SerieA #RomaLazio #SerieATIM pic.twitter.com/fciMojoJPK— Football Italia (@footballitalia) January 11, 2021
Really not confident. I hate to say it, but Dzeko hasn’t been his usual self recently so Mayoral should be given a chance. Pellegrini is a waste of a shirt but he will probably start . Cristante still terrible. Massive test
Lazio is the hone team but usually is less attended during most derby’s when there are fans allowed and now without fans, can’t see who has the advantage. Could be a draw.
Villar is surely one of the first players on the name sheet now, right? Expect to see he and Cristante behind Micky, Pellegrini & Dzeko. It’s tough to not give Cristante a start sine he’s been playing so well lately, but i think he’ll be the first off the bench. Mayoral also needs more than 3 minutes this game.
I will give you that, there is a slight improvement. We, have however; become accustomed to his horrible displays over the years. I don't think he warrants a start in the team. I personally found him poor when he came on against Inter. Yea, he got into some good spaces, but screwd up every single chance. If he starts against Lazio, we will already be at a huge disadvantage.
Oh I’m with you, I still get angry everytime I see his face like everyone else on here! But the kids been stepping it up lately. I’ll let him out of the dog house... for now.
Roma: Pau Lopez; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Veretout, Villar, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan; Dzeko
