Watching Roma for the first time since I ended my association with them. A really uninspiring first half in Milan, who themselves are trying to avoid their fourth successive defeat for the first time since 1986. Roma had some early pressure and Manolas headed a corner off the post but it’s been so pedestrian. Honda set up Van Ginkel for the only goal shortly before half time but Milan had assumed control well before then. Apparently their supporters hate Destro and have banners up slagging him off. Always thought he was fat and lazy at Roma. Off for a cycle now so will miss the second half.
Hopefully Destro will return in the summer, things haven’t gone well for him at Milan but he popped up and showed us what we’ve been missing all season on Saturday.
The squad have been confined to a training retreat this week, some of the players should be ashamed of themselves but Garcia is the guy who keeps picking the same non-performing players. He needs to go this summer, there are some good Italian tacticians out of work like Prandelli, Spaletti and Mazzarri and one of these should be in the frame to take over - my own personal preference is Mazzarri.
We need to move on a shitload of players this summer, Sabatini got it badly wrong on the market. Two dynamic wing backs and a keeper are priority, our scoring issues will be resolved if Destro returns.
Destro is obviously a lazy piece of wasted talent.
4-3-3 does not win Serie A titles.
It’s a fact. I can’t remember the last team to win a Serie A title without playing two up top. Juventus play two up top, Inter before them played two up top, Milan played two up top when they won it, Roma played two up top under Capello, Lazio did it when they won it under Eriksson.
Garcia has to go. I’m all for Mazzarri, we have the players for his football to work.
He’s the top scoring Roma owned player in Serie A.
Why is he out on loan?
Because Garcia is an idiot who doesn’t like strikers, who is a slave to his 4-3-3 formation and boring possession football. He needs to go.
Reminds me of Kris Boyd. Lazy and overweight but plunders a goal or two.
I don’t think plunder is the right verb to use here. I presume you’re going for the derogatory “stealing a goal” angle, but in footballing terms, to “plunder” goals, usually means to rack up 25+ a season.
As you were.
Destro is not overweight and scores big goals, your analogy is wrong.
1-0 down at home to Udinese.
Rome derby kicking off now, hopefully make the 2nd half.
Forza Roma
Klose misses an absolute sitter.
Signing in.

Djordjevic levels it.
