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
Motm Diego
Oh, and fuck Roma. Incredibly dirty.
