The Franco Sensi AS Roma 2013/14 Season Thread

Maicon!!!

3-0.

Good first half display. Gasperini plays a very open style of football which is allowing us plenty of space and we have been very good at moving the ball quickly. Iā€™d like to see us push on in the second half and grab another few goals.

Benatia with his fifth Serie A goal of the season.

Some of the things Totti does on a football pitch are extraordinary.

Matuzalem sent off after being substituted.

Fucking idiot. :smiley:

Now Genoa have to withdraw the sub they just brought on for him, comical stuff.

You donā€™t take on the Curva Sud and get away Matuzalem, you fucking slug.

Cofie finally enters the action at the second attempt, this time for Bertolacci.

Destro to enter the fray here.

Marquinho for Florenzi.

Roma debut for Tin Jedvaj.

It will be very interesting to see how De Rossi gets back into this team. Our midfield has looked better than it has for a while today with Nainggolan in there in place of him. Iā€™d imagine Garcia will still be afraid to drop him and will likely shift Pjanic into the slot usually occupied by Florenzi/Ljajic or else bench Nainggolan.

4-0 at FT.

Magnificent display and the suspended boys will do well to come back into this side after that performance.

Nico Burdisso has confirmed he will leave Roma in January.

Devastated. :frowning:

One of my favourite Roma players.

Good news:

We are being linked with a move for the outstanding young striker Andrea Belotti.

Bad news:

We are being linked again with that useless cunt Johnny Heitenga. Iā€™ll be seething if we downgrade Nico for this calamity.

We seem to be in the market for a left back as well. Iā€™ve been very pleased with Dodo in recent weeks and he looks like he is improving with every game and we also have Balzaretti to come back so Iā€™m happy enough with the options there until the end of the season. I would put more emphasis on a midfielder and attacker.

Hopefully we can persuade Nico to see out his contract until the summer.

Looks like itā€™s going to happen rudi

I fucking well hope not.

Looks more and more likely that Valmir Berisha will be joining Roma. Crescenzi has returned to Roma after his loan spell with Ajaccio - I had high hopes for this boy but his career seems to be going nowhere. Former Liverpool defender Gabriel Paletta has been linked as Burdissoā€™s replacement - Iā€™d be much happier with him than Heitinga.

Destro also linked with Liverpool - donā€™t think there is much in this story.

Roma: De Sanctis; Torosidis, Benatia, Castan, DodĆ²; Pjanic, De Rossi, Strootman; Ljajic, Destro, Gervinho

Totti and Maicon rested, presumably with Juventus in mind on Tuesday night.

1-0.

Bomber.
