I hate to say it but Roma seems unbeatable this season (1 Viewer)

How did they do that? They have not beaten Juve (reigning Italian Champs) Milan (reigning CL champs and Coppa Italia champs) or Inter. Three big encounters before the half and they have come up short. Why should they be classified on that level? Because they beat the small teams while teams like Milan and Juve were busy qualifying for the CL league to which Roma because of their disaster in the league last season failed to qualify for?
The half way mark has not even come yet. Rome has simply illustrated that
a) they have a much improved team than last season.
b) the players seem to do well as a unit.
c) having a fairly young team they are in a better position than Milan and Juve in terms of injury prone players and reliability.

How have they classified themselves with Juve and Milan?

Big teams like Juve and Milan have come up BIG when they needed it most: vs. Barcelona..vs. Ajax.
Big teams like Juve and Milan have other obligations in terms of champions league matches in addition TO Coppa Italia.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, players like Maldini, Del Piero, Nedved and Shevchenko have the class and maturity not to open their mouth TOO soon and later make themselves look ridiculous when the 'old guard' teach them a lesson in football.

Believe it or not, but someone turned off my pc when I was writing this long reply to your post. So I'll only say this:

1 Perhaps I misunderstood with what you meant by "Roma haven't classified themselves on the same level as Juve and Milan". In terms of quality and the amount of trophies won, I totally agree with you. But considering this season only, I think Roma have proved they are on the same level as Juve and Milan. And let's not draft the Champions League into this as Roma are not in the competition.

2 Beating the big clubs in Serie A proves a lot, but confidently beating all the small clubs proves just as much. In other words Roma don't have to beat the big clubs to be on the same level as Juve and Milan in Serie A.

3 Roma have also proved they have what is needed to win Serie A, that they have much determination and will to win and that they are as good or even better than Juve and Milan in Serie A this season.

Roma weren't fantastical last weekend, and Totti was spectacularly shitty
