Stinging drive by Pizarro dished away by Frey. Our midfield trio of Gago, Pizarro and De Rossi have been very good and have controlled the game, unfortunately, our attack hasn’t been at its best. We lack a physical presence up front so bring Osvaldo or Borriello on would be an option. Both full backs have done well for us tonight, Perrotta could fill in here until January.
Bojan really needs to toughen up for Italian game. We’re very unfortunate to be behind, dominated in midfield but a moment of madness from Heinze has cost us. I’d have Bojan off now, he’s really struggled tonight, get Osvaldo on. Would give Borini another while see if he can get in the game but if he can’t make an early impact in the second half, Borriello should be introduced too. Lamela has struggled to get involved as well.
You’d know Perrotta was born in England, he just can’t pass a ball.
Any link for this Totti?
I’m watching it on bet365 mate.
Gago and Angel have been excellent tonight. Surprised by Gago’s aerial ability, he has won so many headers tonight.
Greco and Osvaldo on for Lamela and Pizarro.
Wonderful play involving Gago, Bojan and Angel there resulted in a driven ball across the box that ended up falling to Perrotta who made a mess of his final ball.
Bojan has been a massive disappointment tonight, he’s got a major yellow streak in him. Borriello is goin to come on.
Perrotta gone off, be interesting to see how we line up now.
Greco, a left footed central midfielder is filling in at right back. :rolleyes:
A pathetic display from Bojan.
Referee giving us nothing. Gago has announced himself as a true wolf tonight, playing with passion and that spikey Roman character.
Fabio Borini, great determination by Marco Borriello!
Come on Roma.
We’re pressing very hard here.
FFS.
What happened for the concession mate?
That was gut-wrenching.
To quote Martin O’Neill, wave after wave after wave of attack, we’ve got everybody forward and at 1-1 you only think there’s going to be one winner.
Shocking defending for the two goals. Gago, Angel and De Rossi were outstanding tonight. Heinze is shit and Bojan put in one of the most cowardly performances I’ve seen in the yellow and red.
Merkel and I think it was Kucka were completely free at the back post from a corner, very shoddy defending at such a crucial time.
We are at home to Milan on Saturday night, we must win to keep our title hopes alive. Think we can dominate the midfield but will require much more concentration at the back than we’ve witnessed in the past couple of weeks. I’d bring Kjaer back in for the error prone Heinze. The right back position is our weakest area, Rosi, Cicinho, Cassetti and the makeshift Perrotta do not inspire confidence. Nego hasn’t had much of a look-in for us yet. I believe he should be given a chance in the coming weeks.
Pizarro, De Rossi and Gago really dominated the midfield the other night, in fact they dominated us enough to win by a couple of goals, it was deficiencies in attack and defence that were our undoing. Totti is highly doubtful for Saturday and Pjanic will probably miss out too, so I’d go with Lamela, who struggled against Genoa, nestled in behind Borriello and Osvaldo.
I think we can do it, Borriello will have something to prove and will grab a brace in a 2-0 victory for us.
