The Franco Sensi AS Roma 2013/14 Season Thread

Maicon looks crocked. :frowning:

Totti getting suffocated when the ball is played into him.

What a chance for Pjanic.

And another good opening, Benatia had a great chance but he passed it off to Gervinho who blazes over.

Totti hammers a shot a couple of foot wide.

Lovely move from Pjanic sees his shot end off target but a good start to the second half.

Another great effort from Totti.

This is really good from Roma, beginning to get a spell of dominance here.

Bastos on for his debut and itā€™s Florenzi who comes off.

Bastos was unveiled to the Curva with a ā€œLazio Merdaā€ scarf. :smiley:

Lets bring on The Bomber.

Luca Toni has one back for Verona.

Ljajic to come in, wonder if itā€™s for Torosidis - would be disappointed if Totti is coming off and itā€™s not Destro coming in.

Pjanic makes way for Ljajic.

Pjanic had his moments today but he didnā€™t influence the game as much as we would have hoped to.

Destro getting ready to enter the fray.

Totti departs for him.

Bastos really had to pick someone out there, great opening.

Donā€™t understand why Torosidis and De Rossi didnā€™t just put that ball into the box in the dying seconds.

We played fine, these derbies are never pretty and we were the only ones trying to win. Edy Reja is a disgustingly negative coach.

I see the other thread has made some awful analysis on the Bastos squared chance, clearly the poster in question lacks the intelligence to see Destro was pulling himself away from the bodies and Bastos was actually trying to find the space he had expertly created only for Onazi to get a nick on the ball across.

No Maicon or Totti tonight, big opportunity for Destro

Napoli: Reina; Maggio, Fernandez, Albiol, Ghoulam; Inler, Jorginho; Mertens,Hamsik, Callejon; Higuain

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

Reina saves from Destro from close range.

Pjanic is a joyous talent.
