Roma who were always very dangerous going forward are now able to defend and I don't buy this "they have played weak opponents" they destroyed them and isn't it there you win the league?
A valid point.
Roma, rather like Juve when they were shite, have still maintained a pretty respectable record against the big clubs in recent years.
It has been their inability to relentlessly hoover up points against the lesser clubs that has really held them back.
Still can't see Roma getting enough points to challenge for the title unless Juve have a poor season, though.
I'll be interested in the next five game in Serie A, because you'll then have a better idea of how teams are shaping up. So far we've seen teams like Inter and Roma make good starts, but can they keep winning as teams figure out what they are doing and they are no longer a surprise?
You look at someone like Lazio, who no-one has mentioned as having a good start (and they haven't - they've been okay-ish), but they have still managed to pick up points despite not looking to be in good shape, not having the excitement and enthusiasm that comes from a new coach and generally having to overcome a fair bit more adversity than Roma and Inter have. Now I don't suppose Lazio will threaten to win the title, but they have shown a resilience that we don't yet know if this Roma team or this Inter team has.
