I think most are looking at tonight's game as dropped points, drawing with a weakened Roma side and wasting too many chances.
Just because a team is in a crisis doesnt mean that it has to be underestimated.... We are the biggest example for that. We raped the likes of Milan, Inter, Real and i would even say Chelsea in seasons in which we ended up 7th and had no idea what is going to happen to us in the future. These sorts of teams are the worst, and especially if they play at home, like Roma. The may not had the quality of Juve, but they DO have their pride and we have seen many times that that is enough to win you points, and that is what happened. And the only time i consider that we have dropped points is the Bologna game.....

Perhaps some of us are getting ahead of ourselves, this is still a team in transition, drawing away to Roma is not a terrible result. We're still top of the league after all and unbeaten, let's just see how the team reacts against Novara and Udinese.

Even without Vidal and Bonucci the bonehead (actually that is a blessing in disguise for us), we should Pummel these newbies. Anything less than 2-0 is unacceptable; we need goals and a clean sheet.

I expect us to go undefeated through the first round of games (a potential draw against Udinese lurks).

A very tricky match and losing points is not acceptable. I hope we see a forward starting instead of Vucinic and Elia instead of Pepe.
I was really impressed by how they played vs Napoli. They are speedy & can cause us some problems. We need an early goal & sharp focus.

we should take advantage of a few of our competitors having difficult ties
AFAIC Milan is the only competition we should worry about (for Scudetto that is). Others will choke up sooner or later.

Bright side is that we play Inter, Lazio, Roma, Napoli, and Udinese at JS in 2012.

Very disappointed with the draw against the cunts last night. No doubt we have dropped points against weak opponents. Nothing less than 3 points from this game please.

Indeed, they defend heroically and they love to counter attack and when they do, they do it fast and precise which can cause fuck ups. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise that Bonucci is suspended?

Buffon

Licht - Barzagli - Chiellini - De Ceglie

Pazienza - Pirlo - Marchisio

Elia - Matri - Quagliarella

- I guess it's time to give Elia a start at home against a team like Novara (I'm not a big fan of Elia but I just want to see what can he offer against fresh legs)
