It's the way that you seem to like so much of what goes on at Roma
Assumption. I never said I like something, I was giving my comments because I'm close to them since my brother follows Roma and we discuss football daily.
When I praise their moves and everything it doesn't have to mean that my pants are wet.
but never miss a chance to put the boot into Totti or De Rossi.
That is because I think Totti is simply poor and has been poor for last 3 seasons. I'm not into bashing, but IMO majority of people who think he's great are fanboys (it's what I heard that goes on their forums as well) simply because they don't want to admit he's pretty much finished. I think this is like 10% of the Totti who played next to Cassano back in the days. He was useful but only because they simply had no better players last season.. players like Borriello are beyond useless. He scores once in a while and the fame surrounds him for the next 5 weeks. But now, especially now when Enrique came, I think he's just a pain for their system. I would play him (not so much) at this point. But as soon as Lamela recovers he'd warm my bench without a doubt. Lamela - Osvaldo - Bojan would be my pick, simply because they are movable and can add much more pace up front. He scores 4 goals in qualifications against Serie D team and people all say he's the best thing since sliced bread. Any good team can stop him without much trouble these days.
As for De Rossi, he was average for the last three seasons and this year he's playing very good, new role suits him. But yes, over the past 3 years he was overrated and nothing else. Pizarro was the key in their midfield and not him.
