Thought that game offered a fine example of how it is often much easier to look dangerous when the opposition have the possession and territory.

Roma's front three were poor in the first half and I can well imagine Roma having gone on to lose the game if they hadn't got the goal before Parma settled back into the game in the second half.

Wonder how long it will take for players to learn not to try and tackle Gervinho? The best he can hope to do is draw the foul, because he doesn't know how to kick a ball properly.

Benatia had a very good game.

    It was a dive for that penalty. But yeah, his end game is just horrible.

    Despite of Florenzi's goal I have no idea why they play him there. It's simply not his position, he's a MC or at some cases he can move on the left. But the right side... it was literally empty the whole first half. Balzaretti was absolute walking disaster and it's nothing new, he has been rather poor for them.

    Pjanic is seriously becoming a vital player for them. Good thing they don't have a better forward or else they'd be pretty dangerous, at least with this coach. Today was one of those matches when you play like shit and yet win the game by a big margin.

    As predicted, Roma proving to be quite a solid team.

    If they can keep a good form troughout the season, and keep the team togheter, adding a good striker, they could become a genuine contender for at least a CL spot.

    So far so good for Roma. I expected them to challenge for CL places and it seems they are relatively strong contender for one of the spots.

    Same here. Someone had lined up all the italian teams at the end of the mercato.

    And they just looked so solid and well balanced. To bad they sold a forward, i would have seen them get third otherwise.

    Not sure they can keep profilic form with this strikerline. Far to much Totti dependant

    Yeah, I'm not convinced by how they're using him.

    I'd be looking to try and make him play like Perrotta did in Spalletti's Roma.

    Balzaretti was absolute walking disaster and it's nothing new, he has been rather poor for them.
    Full back is where Roma will probably come unstuck this season.

    They are going ask an awful lot of Maicon and Balzaretti in both phases of the game and I don't think either of them is up to it any more.

    Poor Inter fans, they finally sell their club only to get a guy who's not going spend crazy like the Russians and Arabs of City, Chelsea and PSG.
