Baffling decision from Mazzarri to play so aggressively and to try and play a high tempo from the start.
Just played right into the hands of Roma and their counter-attacking style.
Still, that should just about be the end of the counter-attacking chances for Roma this season. After showing what they are capable of, they should now be faced with the sort of defensive tactics that most top sides in Italy are accustomed to facing. Be interesting to see how they do against some deep, packed defences.
Can't help but feel when watching a game like that that it's a really bad move to play 3-5-2/5-3-2 against a 4-3-3.
It's just so hard to get the balance of you team right.
