Poor game, we look very unimaginative. Similar type of turgid football that was played under Enrique and Andreazzoli. Pitch isnāt helping as itās extremely bobbly. Balzaretti has been abysmal, he must have kicked four crosses from deep over the bar. Maicon our best player, we do look notably stronger in defence compared to last season but itās all very depressing.
De Rossi with a nice clipped ball over the top found Florenzi bearing down on goal but his effort was thwarted by a decent save from Bardi.
Gervinho about to make his Roma bow.
Borriello off. Gervinho on. Iād imagine Totti will now play through the middle.
Quite impressed by Paulinho for Livorno tonight.
Florenzi hits the post after a delightful first time pass from Totti.
Daniele!!!
Trademark bullet strike.
Florenzi!!!
Florenzi crashed into a sponsor board after scoring and seems to have injured his shoulder. Marquinho replaces him.
Richard Whittle has described Tottiās performance tonight as āmajesticeā.
Maicon has been immense tonight, he nearly scored a cracker there.
Taddei replaces Pjanic in our final change.
Our first opening day win in Serie A for quite a few seasons now.
Great stuff. Nice to get a positive start to the season. However, the sale of Lamela is very disheartening.
great stuff from us yesterday
thought we were very fluid in offense & we reduced space brilliantly in our half
Looks like we will be replacing Lamela with Ljajic, a very good replacement but ultimately a downgrade. It really is an awful shame we canāt have both.
Sadly this is the lot of feeder Clubs in the modern game
Strootman and Ljajic in the squad for tomorrow. We seem to be targetting a starting centre back and a back-up striker before the transfer window closes. The main target in defence is Astori, up front we are being linked with Bergessio of Catania and Cvitanich of Nice - not going to get to excited about any of these moves. The move for a striker seems to be dependent on us offloading Borriello.
Currently in action against Hellas Verona. Strootman makes his debut replacing Bradley while Gervinho has replaced Borriello in two changes from last weekās starting XI.
Great atmosphere.
