Rudiger has really blossomed in the past year, particularly after recovering from a serious injury.
He was a bombscare at the start but has cut out the mistakes out of his game, bar the odd blip. A great blend of athleticism and aggression who is slowly learning the art of defending.
What a goal by the Little Pharaoh. He’s really came to form in the past few months.
Er Pupone on for Dzeko.
Great stuff
Forza Roma
Emerson replaces the debutant Mario Rui.
How did he play
Solid, no frills.
Great to get all these players back from injury.
Alesso looks like he could back within the next month. 
Dzeko gives us the lead, we had been struggling there but have made the breakthrough.
We’ve show great girt and resolve in the past few months. Grinding wins out like potential champions.
A third 1-0 Serie A victory on the trot.
Sampdoria away next week. We just have to keep these wins coming.
Spalletti’s record since taking on the job again has been superb.
P 39 W28 D6 L5
That’s title winning form, if we can sustain that type of form in the second half of the season we will bring the title race down the the wire.
Being linked with Defrel and Donsah in €15m and €10m deals respectively.
Clement Grenier arriving on loan with a €3.5m option to buy in the summer. He was quite highly rated a few years back so he certainly would look to have quality but seems to have fallen by the wayside since then. Happy enough with this as our midfield is strong right now, we just need some numbers there to build for a busy second half of the season.
Winning 1 -0
Fazio just put us 2 up at home to the Viola to keep our fleeting title hopes alive.
Stunning goal from Radja.
Edin makes it 4.
We’re purging them.
Forza Roma
Grenier on to make his Roma debut.
Replaces the irrepressible Radja.
Grazie Roma.
11 wins from 11 at home in Serie A this season.
Great win for our lads tonight, terrible news about Florenzi - looks like he has done his ACL again, will miss another 6-8 months.
Stunner for Dzeko puts us 1-0 up at home to Torino.
