Well, in his defense, he got a lot of help today from his teammates. 
I think he was pretty bad and agressive today but I still think he's a good defender.I can't believe some people wanted him here.
You shouldn't do that yet.I know some people (Tahir) doesn't want to know the score.He wants to the watch full match.
You should just edit it tomorrow IMO.
About Giovinco, I also would have liked to play the entire 90 minutes, but when you come to think of it, Ranieri wasn't exactly wrong in substituting him. We were up 3-1 when Gio went out, also he didn't see much of the ball in the second half. Idiots like Loria and Mexes were intentially fouling our players and were getting away with it every time. I was actually very surprised Ale or Gio didn't get injured.
About Sissoko, Let's not too carried away here. I wouldn't really call Tiago or Poulsen expert passers of the ball. Granted, they are better at it than Momo but they lack the defensive qualities Sissoko has. We beat Bologna last week, and a Roma team comprising of a second rate midfield, I don't think the Poulsen-Tiago Duo is even close to European calibre, I think we stand a much better chance with Marchisio-Sissoko.
If players like Aquilani and De Rossi were playing against Poulsen and Tiago, their lives would have been much much more difficult. That isn't to take away from a very good performance by the both of them today. I never saw Tiago as a very skilled player, but he is an intelligent player in my opinion. Poulsen should see more of the ball, he gives a nice flow to the game with his passing, we desperately need someone like that cabale of initiating attacks and passing the ball around neatly.

Well I still find Sissoko a brutal force in midfield and a useful player. His passing game is terribly dissappointing though and I do feel Marchisio will be the better player of the two. I would play Marchisio even when Sissoko gets back simply because I've gotten totally sold on Claudio Marchisio's performances as of late. He combines tireless working with good feet.
A brief pare3nthesis......sissoko...... he is a destroyer...but he lacks just too muchin the ofensive... no... in the basic passing department. Also, i have noticed that sissoko and molinaro also lack the good judgement to play. They oftenly commit too many mistakes and wrong choice of decitions in game.
To me, it doesnt matter if sissoko is as good as gatuso at defending...since when he recovers the ball, he just simply cant pass it to anyone...or simply do a stupid run which 95% of th time ends in him losing the ball. Players like him just makes the inevitable come a little later , which is an enemy goal. I prefer someone which is not stellar at defending but at least can judge well and pass the ball when needed.
And there is nor doubt that since he got injured, we are playing alot better and we dont look like a lot of amateurs doing nothing but long passes no nowehere.
Did you saw the last minutes of today´s game? we were passing the ball between thr oma players foer more than 5 or 6 passes!!! man that is just incredible if u think about how we were before.....and thats definitely is a good sign.

About the game.....
Very nice game from our players...they did what was needed to win....
My respects goto Iaquinta for showing that we can count on him and to make us know that we have a very good attacking line.
Pouls sen and melberg did an excellent job...and gigi, while he was an expectator sometimes...he also did very nice saves.
Probs to ranieri for not being a biatch early on and let the player play.
About del piero.... yes he did not score and he did some bad decitions... btu he laso got involved a lot in the game and he was playing also in the middle of the park to aid the team...he did a good job... not stellar but definitely not a bad one.
Gio played nice overall, providing a great assist and his usual slick passes. He did some bad decitions in the game.... more than his usual self.. but even with that, his game was above average in attack. IN the second half, his substitution was not bad, cuz he was not delivering anymore and the fight in the middle of the park was getting the best of him. Sadly we saw too little of him and nedved together... but good game by him overall.
Nedved came just when we needed him the most...someone to fight an already weakened roma midfield...and he did it. We were talking on the week about the future of nedved in the team and how to use him,....and definitely this is the way...using him as a super sub and not forcing the guy tho play every suingle game the whole 90 mins.
Iaquinta was a warrior, not much to say here... scfroed two goals... showed class and tenacity, and he fought the whole game....which is one of his trademark characteristics. Very very good for him.
About what vinmans aid about letting trez rot on the bench.... yeah is not the best of choices, but taking in consideration how IQ is playing and how he link together with the other attackers.... im totally with ranieri on giving trez some bench time...as we are playing very ncie without him.
Not that he is a bad striker...but he depends too much on the guys to make his job, and thats why i think he most of the time is not good overal.
Happy with the win....now lets cross finger for the impossible...see inter lose the match

Starting to put your financial chart analysis skills to good use, I see.
Roma has a lot of injuries, and they've been plagued by that all season. But nothing that would explain the complete collapse and crumble we saw out there today.
When's the last honest time you've seen us take apart Roma 4-1 on their own turf?
We have our injuries too. But chalking up their performance problems to a handful of injuries, after having that same squad go through to the CL knockout rounds, suggests something beyond just the injuries du jour.

Great game this afternoon, Roma was depleted and I enjoyed the show. Can't wait to get Marchisio back into this lineup; I'd like to see Seba and Claudio play every game from here on out, provided they're fit. They've been excellent, and they're ready to start playing some pretty heavy minutes - it's time to accelerate this growth curve and experience is the key. With a couple top class additions in the mercato (and maybe Criscito as well), our team could make a huge jump in quality next season... and, of course, I still believe in the 08/09 Scudetto. 4 points back baby - C'mon Reggina!!!
Tremendous strike by Pavel; a perfect volley. If Ranieri would utilize this player in an appropriate manor, he could definitely be a good depth player next year; it's fantastic how much everyone loves him, and his experience is clearly invaluable to the youth. FORZA PAVEL. Say what you want about the injuries to their squad, but four goals in Rome sure feels damn nice.

If you watch the Chelsea game again, you should realize that the only reason we coped well at all in the midfield was because of Hiddink's dubious tactics. Lampard and Ballack were out of place the entire game, they never went back to defend and thus gave a numerical advantage to Tiago-Marchisio.
That isn't the point anyway, I would hardly merit our recent victories to the central midfield only. You are forgetting that Giovinco has been a crucial factor, even Iaquinta has been very good. And believe it or not, Molinaro has drastically improved his game and that in my opinion, was one of the biggest factors if not the biggest in our recent performances.
I like the idea of playing without a destroyer because we become far more attractive and our football is more free-flowing and effective. If Poulsen can be both a destroyer and passer, then a Marchisio-Poulsen midfield is the way to go. But Poulsen is incredibly inconsistent unfortunately, while with Momo you know what to expect from him. He won't give you much in attack but you know for sure that he will get the job done defensively.
