322

Slow start, Totti has been good though, played a few lovely first time passes.

323

Totti has been brilliant, some of his passing has been sublime!

:clap:

324

Lobont makes a smart save. Our full backs are getting exposed when we lose the ball.

325

We look extremely vulnerable on the break.

326

Osvaldo gives us the lead. Borriello does really well attacking the ball, then drilling it across the goal for Osvaldo to tap home.

:clap:

327

Very nearly an equaliser there, ball eludes Kjaer over the top and Caliao narrowly puts it wide.

328

Siena scored a late equaliser in Rome. That is another disastrous result for us. Absolutely disastrous.

329

fucks sake- send that prick back to spain

330

+1. Tippy tappy, slow, shite, boring Barca football.

331

I’m deeply concerned by this start to the season. I don’t think the formation is working well. I don’t see why Gago can’t get into that team. I didn’t see tonight and accept that Osvaldo scored but haven’t been impressed with him at all. Borriello seems to have done well for the goal too but it’s not a strikeforce to build a team around I wouldn’t think.

332

I only witnesses the first half as I had a prior engagement to attend.

Dreadful result and I echo the sentiments on Enrique. Clueless stuff to drop Borini, our attack is static and clunky, our midfield is lightweight, lazy immobile and offers no protection to the defence. I’ve been impressed with Kjaer and Angel but the we have major problems at right back.

Totti was sublime in the first half tonight, every touch he made was gold, depressing with the great man in the autumn of his career that he has to put up with the dross around him and a fucking idiot of manager who was no idea or realisation on what it takes to succeed in Italy.

333

Hopefully we get back on track with a win tonight, the sixth time of asking for Enrique. :rolleyes:

Been quite an uneventful and drab weekend of matches when you compare it to fantastic football in the opening few weeks.

Borini is back in from the start, Pizarro, Gago, Cicinho, Lamela, Greco, Juan, Stekelenburg are all out. Borriello has dropped to the bench and Rosi comes in at right back. Heinze also comes in for Burdisso who is on the bench. Don’t know what Enrique’s problem is with Cassetti, he’s getting on now and is far from great but he’s a much better option at right back than Rosi, Cicinho and Perrotta. Curci is also a much more reliable keeper than Lobont.

Anyway, teams are:

[size=“2”][color="#828282"]Parma: [/size][size=“2”][font=“Arial”]83 Mirante; 5 Zaccardo, 29 Paletta, 6 Lucarelli, 18 Gobbi; 7 Biabiany, 4 Morrone, 8 Galloppa, 23 Modesto; 10 Giovinco, 11 Floccari[/font]
[font=“Arial”][color="#828282"]Parma bench:[/font][/size][size=“2”][font=“Arial”] 1 Pavarini, 3 Feltscher, 19 Rubin, 28 Jadid, 20 Blasi, 77 Ze Eduardo, 9 Crespo[/font]

[font=“Arial”][color="#828282"]Roma:[/font][/size][size=“2”][font=“Arial”] 1 Lobont; 87 Rosi, 44 Kjaer, 5 Heinze, 3 Jose’ Angel; 15 Pjanic, 16 De Rossi, 20 Perrotta; 31 Borini, 10 Totti, 9 Osvaldo[/font]
[font=“Arial”][color="#828282"]Roma bench:[/font][font=“Arial”] 18 Curci, 29 Burdisso, 11 Taddei, 77 Cassetti, 14 Bojan, 22 Borriello, 30 Simplicio[/font][/size]

334

Osvaldo linking up well with Totti there. Showed some quick feet, playing a one-two with Totti but his cross was a little off.

335

Disgusting banner being flown by the Parma filth in the home end.

:angry:

336

I’ve been massively disappointed in Pjanic’s offering in a Roma shirt thus far, doesn’t impose himself on the game, instead he seems to shy away from the play. This has been another dire performance.

337

Boring negative shit from Enrique. He seems to have imposed a system whereby players are prohibited from hitting inventive passes more than 5 yards. A few class touches by Totti is all we have shown tonight.

Fuck off back to Spain you boring prick.

338

Totti hits a good effort from distance that the goalkeeper fumbles onto the post, Osvaldo hits the resulting chance straight at the keeper.

339

Referee bottles out of sending Kjaer off. Lucky boy.

A terrible performance by Roma. Enrique is a cunt.

340

0-0 at HT.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as boring or negative a Roma side as I’ve had to endure under Enrique.

This is painful.
