The Franco Sensi AS Roma 2013/14 Season Thread

Ljajic coming on.

Eh, hello? We need a fucking striker on.

De Rossi comes off - well thatā€™s a fucking retarded change.

Pjanic for Marquinho.

Marquinho has to be for the scrap heap in January.

Get that big Dutch impostor off the pitch.

Garcia needs to have a long hard look at himself for his negative selections in the last 4 games.

We havenā€™t even created a chance today. It has been the most turgid of displays.

Get Destro on now FFS.

Pjanic has done well since coming on. Gervinho now coming more into it but we have no striker in the box - itā€™s retarded.

Itā€™s taken us 75 minutes to finally get a spell of pressure going. Bradley has had a contentious goal ruled out.

Outstanding save from Consigli denies Florenzi.

Ricci on for his Roma debut.

A strong last 15 minutes but up until then it was an absolute jokeshop.

Strootman, Marquinho, Dodo were appalling. We canā€™t keep playing without a focal point in attack, we had Gervinho pulling wide for the first 75 minutes and nobody to aim at in the box. Dreadful stuff,

Garcia needs to be much more offensive, to me it looks like weā€™ve got a certain stage without losing and he wants to preserve that rather than get points on the board.

Totti back in the squad today, it remains to be seen whether he will see any action. Garcia hinted that Destro would play some part today which is good to hear, match begins at 11.30am.

Weā€™re starting without a striker once again. :rolleyes:

Weā€™re away to Milan next week so Maicon, Pjanic, De Rossi, Strootman and Florenzi all run the risk of missing that match with a booking.

Roma: De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castan, Dodo; Pjanic, De Rossi, Strootman; Florenzi, Ljajic, Gervinho. To avail.: Lobont, Skorupski, Burdisso, Romagnoli, Jedvaj, Torosidis, Bradley, Marquinho, Taddei, Ricci, Totti, Destro, Borriello.

Fiorentina: Neto; Tomovic, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Savic, Pasqual, Ambrosini, Aquilani, Borja Valero, Cuadrado, Rossi, Vargas. To avail.: Munua, Lupatelli, Roncaglia, Marcos Alonso, Compper, Pizarro, Wolski, Joaquin, Mati Fernandez, Ilicic, Olivera, Matos, Rebic.

Wonderful play by Gervinho and Maicon scrambles home in the six yard box.

Iā€™m being very disingenuous to Maicon there, it was a very smart finish.

Gervinho is getting isolated with Tomovic and he is destroying them. De Rossi is brilliantly denied by Neto.

We look like scoring at every opportunity. Gervinho is playing exceptionally well.

Ambrosini picks up a yellow for a late challenge on Strootman having earlier got away with a warning for a similar challenge on Dodo.

Gonzalo now gets booked for a cynical foul to take Gervinho out of the play.

What on earth was Strootman at there? We were very lucky to get away with that.

Tomovic looks petrified every time Gervinho gets on the ball.
