Roma's CL game is actually good and I am sure there is a way to take advantage of that. I wonder how would Ranieri approach the game. It is very critical to choose a game plan and I think we should attack them from the very first minute. That's Juve's strong point, they have no games in Europe.
i would be scared of their pace on the counter attack if we go for it too much.

My instinct would be to keep it tight early on, then try to take advantage when they tire later in the game due to their midweek game.

I don't really think Roma's CL match will affect them, we always used to beat Roma when we were playing CL and they were not. So it doesn't really make much diff IMO.

We play well, we focus all 90min, we know how to use our chances, we'll win. I'm optimistic anyway.

So long we have Gigi, Ale, Pavel, David i'll always be optimistic.

So long as Roma have Totti, Mancini, Guily, Aquilani and De Rossi I will be terrified.

The same goes with their fans, so long we have Gigi, Pavel, Ale Trezeguet they will also be terrified, they have their weapons we have ours. So, they don't really scare me.
The problem is that their defence has a better chance of stopping our attack than our defence does with theirs.

We are capable of winning, but we will need a massive improvement in our performance.

True, they look much solid than us in the back. but trust me and mark my words, once we do the opening score (the 1st goal they concede this season) they'll break down.

I hope you are right, but I'm not convinced.

Blind optimism has never been my strong point.

But Rab makes a valid point here, I don't see it really as blind optimism. It is a thought based on what we actually have.

All I want us to do is go out and play a great game and the rest will take care of itself. This is by far the biggest game we've played in in 2 years. Maybe we'll come out and play amazing.

It will be a tough game against a tough team, in a tough moment,
time for our champion heart to take a stand and make the difference,
i agree with Rab that is one of the most important games of the season
(and i hope, boom TV will air it live)

What I want to see is the team raise their game the way other teams do when facing us. No doubt we're the underdogs in this match. It's important not to allow Roma to get their game going on early in the game, otherwise we'll be chasing shadows all afternoon.
