Half-time, damn almost got a goal by Pjanic. We playing well but too bad Dzeko have to support mid. I hope Rudi make him stay up front. He is not Totti to play false 9.

WE WIN!! But we concede one goal thanks to this old piece of shit donkey called Seydou Keita.

satisfying win... but it was so 'Roma' that we almost let Juve back in late in game, even with a man advantage.

Big moments from Pjanic, Dzeko and of course Szczesny with the fantastic save !

its late now, will comment more later on but for now, Grazie Roma !

Naingolan is the beast machine. Pjanic compliment him better.

Great to see Roma win this one (Interista here) !

Pjanic's goal

Dzeko's goal

Szczesny's save


would like to point out that Digne was great in the game - a big upgrade from what we had before, and it really made differences. Also Falque played pretty well, for his lack of speed and flashy moves he made it up with some smart and intelligence on and off ball movements. And finally, what a save by Szczesny

anyway in the end it still just 1 game, hope the boys don't get carry away too much - there are still 36 games to go !

btw we just further reinforce our midfield - William Vainqueur, 26-years-old French from Dynamo Moscow.



i know virtually nothing about him... with this signing, my guess is that Strootman is really not gonna make it back anytime soon...

i thk our strootman is too prone to injury..should let him leave when there is better offer

transfer window is now closed :








sadly, no Bruno Peres (or any RB).

Also WTF why did we send Ljajic to Inter ?! He's 1 of our most competent and talented attacking threat... to think that Gervinho and Ibarbo are kept instead of Adem make me sick

Ponce is good business... Never heard or that Vainqueur and that Emerson guy. Congratz on the win last match..didn't manage to watch game due to no live telecast and watch highlight 70%-80% of the video is Roma attack..

ibarbo leaving to watford?!?!

crappy win, but I'll take the 3 points gladly lol

credits to Frosinone that they actually played quite well for me. As usual for times we always seem to have no idea how to dominate and press over the weaker and lesser opponents. Rudi still have much works to do.

well well, not a bad start to our CL this season, I consider its 1 precious point earned against the almighty Barca aka the champs

Florenzi's goal... Ma ma mia, early contender for goal of the season !

hahaha what a goal by Florenzi

btw, watching this match only during the 1st half last night, Roma is definitely one of a few team who can hurt Barca on the counter
Barca attack are frightening, but their defensive are above average esp with their high line defending. On a few occasions we saw Salah
and Dzeko being given much space to do their sprinting. If Gervinho available last night u guys can really hurt em

when he unleashed the shot I was like "WTF Ale that's such a shit pass to Dzeko..." and then BAM ! Couldn't believe it at the 1st sight

Even himself was surprised that he pulled it off !




Don't quite like the 'sit back, absorb and repel' tactic but totally can understand the reason. Given our oh-so-prone-to-brainfart-and-meltdown backline it would be suicidal to go head on with Barca - we learnt the lesson the hardest way possible against Bayern. Salah was OK but the finishing touches need to be better if we hope to get something.

frustrating game... its really too bad that we can't mark Totti's 300th and Salah's 1st goals for the club with a win.

the defense really have much works to be done, and I can't believe that I gonna say this : I missed Szczesny already

Yup, we are back to The Draw form we used to be last season.

Please dont draw again

if we don't win tonight against Samp, we'll see all sort of crisis and panic talks again.
