He was trash today.

4 tackles, only Bremer had more.
94% pass accuracy
4/6 ground duels
1/1 aerial duels
2/3 long balls
90 minutes

hardly the worst player on the field, but again consider the source.

How many aerial duels did he win this time, Danny?
Tell us fast, because people are starting to realize just how serie B he really is.

Sad to say it but he is nothing special.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Poor man's Aquilani

 

[Hydde]

He is not a holding midfielder nor a 5. he is an AM who need to play near the enemy area, sadly that position is occupied by Koopmainers now. Allegri drained all his flair and fancy from his first 2 season and turned him into an introverted ball passer.

He got pjaniced

 

[Rockets]

TBF he will be benched once Thuram comes back from injury and Luiz is 100% physically ready to compete.

 

[RKid1]

Sad to say it but he is nothing special.

Did anyone think otherwise?

He's a solid player and should be a bench/rotational player once we're fully healthy and the new guys are fully acclimated and ready to start.

He's fine.

This is Roma's best opportunity imo, Pellegrini is very good at finishing from that range.

My question is did Fagioli make a wrong decision here by not keep marking Pellegrini but pressing Cristante instead?

Nope, he did the right thing.
The defence is crashed and in an ideal situation Gatti should have come and mark Pelegrini in that area , but he is faulty assisting Bremer in marking dobvik.
A world class defender would have let Dobvik stray into an offside position while picking up the immediate danger in Pelegrini while attempting to close the passing lane.

To me it looks like Savona sensed the danger but was the one late in covering behind Fagioli there, that aside from one of the CB’s(Gatti in this case) also needing to probably step up there.

Looked like a move that Roma worked on though, luckily Bremer held his ground well and blocked the shot.

Yeah , you are right.
I zoomed the image and it appears that's savona then it's his fault for failing to pick Pelegrini up , as that is his area.
I thought that was cambiasso which would have been really odd to see him there.
You can also put it to miss communication between fagioli and savona , but fagioli does the right thing in that play.

Let's move on man. Now I only care what he can contribute on the pitch.




























But damn I'm so curious to know whether he won that € 10,000 bet!

 

[rainhard]

Sell Arthur and McKennie, get Tonali, he need his betting friend

 

[.zero]

Brilliant player

 

[s4tch]

Sell Arthur and McKennie

both were (and arthur is still) on the market. no takers

 

[Rockets]

Good

Bad, should've picked out Cambiaso's run

Awful, almost cost us the game

 

[mondo1]

He’s just a Serie b level player

Pretty much summed up his day. He had a couple of nice plays and some terrible ones.

He's got the excuse of not playing for a year, which I hope is the reason and it is not unexpected to be inconsistent. He seems like he is struggling to read the speed of the game. But there's a limit on how long you can use that argument.

 

[Akshen]

He was exciting when we had lumberjack like Rabiot or Mckennie as our starters, but currently he would be my last choice for midfield.
