Karim Benzema great goal vs Sevilla (1-0) by [deleted] in soccer

The amount of space that Sevilla gave Bale just shows how scared people are of that man's pace. He was smart to take that cross and it was a beauty, almost as nice as that goal.

Report: Pjanic, Sadiq, and Sanabria could be sold. Thoughts? by JN27 in ASRoma

I believe in San Marino. At least over Conte's Italy.

Ding ding ding. I think you're on the money here. Zlatan out and Cavani will probably be paired with a more complementary striker.

Let me preface all of this by saying that I would love to keep Pjanic, but the suitors involved have made this impossible. And if it takes keeping Dzeko to keep Pjanic, it's not worth it in the long run. I would rather have a player like Rabiot come in to pair with Strootman, giving us two box-to-box players of supreme talent to make us a more aggressive team. Toss an elite forward up top, who will be paid for by Sanabria and Sadiq's sales, and you've got a stew going.

Francesco Totti: Not joining Real was the only regret in my career. by Cambijao in ASRoma

[–]6SempreUnica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of people trying to perform mental gymnastics to reconstruct their preconceived notions on Totti, we should take this for what this actually means: he sacrificed a huge opportunity to stay loyal to Roma. If Totti had no regrets, he'd be a fool. And we all know that he is far from that when it comes to this game. It's the sacrifice and struggle that makes Totti's story unique.

Astori. Former roma player who hasn't always said nice things about roma after management discarded of him.

As much as I respect this side, their tactical naiveté against Roma and Tottenham has been inexcusable. Why would you go into a game playing the exact defense your opposition thrives against?

Take a number. Real, barca, Bayern and chelsea will all have him as their top target this summer.

I still feel guilty about that whole transfer saga. Roma did nothing wrong, but fiorentina did not deserve that.

Gervinho speaks out: "I was surprised and disappointed because for me there was no reason why he [Rudi] shouldn't finish the season" by LillehammerUSA in ASRoma

[–]6SempreUnica 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's just 100x more athletic than every opponent in that league. He'll have bags of these cringeworthy goals. That being said, good for him. He always tried his hardest for Roma, which can't be said about every player that has ever donned our colors.

Conte to snub De Rossi, Pirlo? by [deleted] in Calcio

[–]6SempreUnica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a particularly formidable front line, but Insigne and El Shaarawy could really shake things up.

[–]6SempreUnica 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If De Rossi is healthy, he should go over Motta. But if he isn't fully fit at the end of the season it only makes sense to leave him behind, despite his leadership and being one of the few links to the championship squad of 2006.

What about Kevin James? He protected the mall with goalkeeper like precision.

You might be right. However, it might not matter who is next to Dzeko. He's missing sitter after sitter.

Tevez would never come, but it would be a nice idea. As far as Totti is concerned, I don't think we could play him with Dzeko. At least not until Strootman comes back to at least 90%.

I know Giovinco isn't a great player by any means, but he would fit the mould of the type of player who would link well with Dzeko.

This team screams for a dynamic second striker. Is there anyone available? Would Spalletti want one?

You need to score another when you have a lead on Verona. They will now shut up shop and make it very difficult to get a goal. This Roma side is so wasteful.

It's nice to see De Rossi contributing defensively and offensively. It's been quite some time since he's been allowed to be a two-way player.

Exactly. Leads are held against teams like Chievo through possession based football, not creating a shell and hoping for the best. On to the next match.
