What a brilliant way to start the season. We dominated them for the most, and kept them on the back foot nicely. Second half was a brilliant display of football as well, and we didn't fizz out like we did last week so fitness issues not really a worry. A lot of good chances made too, but that Julio Sergio guy was determined to stop just our strikers from scoring. Only concern is for Marchisio, hopefully he just needs a few days recovery.

De Ceglie looks very uncomfortable on the ball and wastes a lot of possession. Too much for my liking. When Chiellini took over he looked very good. I'd like to see Cáceres play in CB too, maybe Chiellini can be moved out wide permanently if we find a brilliant talent from another summer signing? Bit early, and ridiculous to suggest maybe, but if it works...

Grygera was very good today as well, needs to be mentioned because I don't remember him making any mistakes and the left side for Roma was very quiet.

Diego was brilliant, what a signing we have. Fits into our team almost instantly, nice to see all our forward guys taking him to our fans to celebrate. Looks like a team which has bonded quickly. Felipe Melo, again, what a signing. Was all over the place stopping them, and he even took the time to score a debut goal. I need a gif of his celebration for Diegos second :lol2: Motm Diego :tup:

Oh, and fuck Roma. Incredibly dirty.

I am sure you'll change your mind once you know that Moggi said that we overpaid for Melo.

Grygera did very well defensively and bad on offense, De ceglie was the opposite. I love the move by ferrera to put chillieni as a LB. He is out LB in the squad currently. Good going forward and solid on defense

Melo is one of the most badass players I've ever seen. He makes DAWGostino look like a HUGE pussy.

He's the sort of player winning trophies why everybody else hates him. I love it.

The big lesson thus far: better to overpay for fewer, quality players than an assortment of mediocre players for the same price.

Did you see his reaction when he had to save the day after Grygera/Canna both missed their challenges? I saw him turn into the Hulk.

Diego is unbeliveble!!! What a player!!! And he only cost us 25 million eur! Melo was great too. Wish Amauri scored a goal. He wasted a lot of opportunities :(

Juve deserved to win today. They were far better than Roma

    Obviously Diego with his finishing and movement and Melo for his bullish midfield drive. But ive chosen Amauri purely cos his endless running back even to defend which he often did in this game, which amazed me. Shame he didnt score but 10/10 for his effort. Held the ball well. Must have been cos his Italian passport has arrived.

    Real Madrid will disagree with you, one should overpay a wide assortment every other season.
