IDe Ceglie can cross better, why is he lifting the balls from deep? He should run further up and cross.

Marchisio gets a yellow card.

    WHAT A SAVE BUFFON

    Totti was 1 on 1 with Buffon.
    Our defense was owned there.

    We had the initiative, we were better.

    We suffer creating chances tho and we conceded a fluke, but in the end it's us that need to be happy that it's still 1:1.

    That Buffon save at the end signified another shift in match sentiment. That was absolutely huge and we could take that momentum into the second half.

    Roma has done a good job of pulling a flattering scoreline out of their asses, but that goal did come out of nowhere. We have more possession, have been winning the midfield battle except for that one little slip up, and have tried to take initiative in the match. What we need to see is better action on the flanks, which is why this position should have been addressed beforehand, because we are really weak there. If we had someone like Rafinha on the right, we'd multiply our attacking strength by two.

    What should happen is that Del Piero comes on for Iaquinta so we can get a better handle of the ball. Roma is doing a decent job of shutting down our strikers, so we need someone who can take the ball and take on defenders to cause problems.

    I don't think it's any surprise we lack good flank play considering our fullbacks and the lack of Camoranesi on the right. This needs to be addressed.

    I was thinking that if we are not crossing, why are we still with two monsters in the box? Del Piero instead of Iaquinta and we will move the ball on the ground more and produce more quality. Both Tiago and Diego will be able to play their game better.

    Indeed, we need a better player up top to hold the ball.

    I don't need to name the player, though. I'm sure you all know who it would be.
