AS Roma 2012/2013

Premiership players are, in general, overpriced trash. I think Suarez is good enough to play for us and I would welcome Borini back at any time but I don’t think the rest of the EPL is good enough for Roma or Serie A.

Squad for tomorrow’s tript to Florence:

[font=verdana][size=3]Squad: [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Balzaretti[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], Bradley, [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Burdisso[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Castan[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], De Rossi, [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Destro[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Dodò[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3],[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Ferrante[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Florenzi[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Frediani[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Goicoechea[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Lucca[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Marquinhos[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Piris[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Pjanic[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3],[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Stekelenburg[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Svedkauskas[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Tachtsidis[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3], [/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3]Taddei[/size][/font][font=verdana][size=3].[/size][/font]

[font=verdana][size=3]Marquinho has been omitted for disciplinary reasons while there are a couple of youngsters there in Lucca, Ferrante and Frediani. We have been linked with Fiorentina right back Mattia Cassani today, not a big fan to be honest, he’s like a right footed version of Balzaretti but I would accept a loan deal until the end of the season, Piris needs competition.[/size][/font]

I’m hearing of terrible weather conditions for tonight’s match. This game should have been in Rome in the first place, now this. FFS.

743

We’re playing a 3-4-3 formation tonight. :o :o :o :o :o

Forgot Lamela was suspended for this, Destro our only fit attacker, the young bomber needs to redeem himself tonight after a couple of wasteful displays.

Roma: Goicoechea; Marquinhos, Castan, Burdisso; Piris, De Rossi, Bradley, Balzaretti; Pjanic, Destro, Florenzi

Roma bench: Svedkauskas, Dodò, Lucca, Taddei, Tachtsidis, Frediani, Ferrante

744

Fiorentina: Neto, Tomovic, Rodriguez, Savic; Cuadrado, Migliaccio, Aquilani, Borja Valero, Pasqual; Jovetic, Toni

Fiorentina bench: Viviano, Roncaglia, Olivera, Pizarro, Lupatelli, Fernandez, Seferovic, Llama, Ljajic, Camporese, Romulo

745

We’re missing a lot of players again but thankfully he hasn’t made the inexcusable decision to leave De Rossi out again given that context.

746

Pitch looks fine.

747

De Rossi goes close with a header from a corner.

748

Double chance for Florenzi and Pjanic there. We are in the ascendancy.

749

And another chance for Florenzi.

750

Castan getting caught offside from open play. :lol:

751

Balzaretti is a panicer.

752

Bradely continuing his recent garish form.

753

Goico not inspiring confidence in goals, he keeps getting lost under crosses.

754

That was very unlucky, great steal from Bradley in midfield the ball breaks to Destro who barges his way pas three Fiorentina defenders and fires narrowly wide, more like it from Bradley and Bomber.

755

Piris steals in with a header at the back post which goes wide. Paying very well at the minute, 3-4-3 has been good and we look really secure in defence.

756

Great work from Bomber down the line there, he is so powerful when he gets going.

757

Marquinhos really should be hitting the target from there, good opportunity missed.

758

Florenzi goes in the book for a late tackle on Aquilani.

759

Nico get a yellow card for a cynical check on Jovetic after Marquinhos got rolled and left his side in a compromising position. Nico has been a rock at the back for us tonight.

760

Fiorentina hit the bar from the free kick.
