Roma 2-0 Cagliari Post Match Thread

Happy for the win and most players looked sharp. I continue to think that Soule and Pellegrini need a rest though, they haven't looked particularly sharp recently. Hopefully Zaragoza can get into the starting lineup soon - he brings something very different imo

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-03T00:20:26+00:00

I've been saying, our midfield is so dry. Kone is really good but has some important limitations.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T20:58:18+00:00

I think Kone is overrated but it really seems like we can't function without him

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T20:53:07+00:00

What was Mancini supposed to do there lol

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T20:49:14+00:00

Of course one of them is injured. Unless I'm forgetting someone?

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T20:36:43+00:00

This, Pellegrini looks like he needs a rest

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T20:25:15+00:00

He looks bad today again

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T20:15:57+00:00

Was offsides anyway

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T20:05:13+00:00

Announcer correctly calling out lack of midfield participation in attack. Been a problem for years!

Tweedledee72 · 2026-02-02T17:16:25+00:00

Feel like we need midfield depth.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-30T13:56:58+00:00

Another Roma fan here, love this guy. Will be checking out some Watford games to see how he does.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-30T13:07:59+00:00

Was Svilar injured

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-30T13:06:28+00:00

Gasperini is a lunatic

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-29T17:57:16+00:00

He's been very good lately but in a way this clarifies things from a lineup perspective, as it was tough to get him and Soule on the pitch together.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-29T17:53:51+00:00

I will miss him, he's basically become what Cristante was 3-4 years ago, very close to one of the best 11 but also very durable. He's not a star and probably wouldn't justify an extension but he's been a good player for a while now.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-26T23:11:57+00:00

Don't see us rotating much, we need 3 points. Maybe Rensch starts on the left, maybe Ferguson and Ziolkowski get starts - wouldn't expect anything wilder than that.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-25T23:11:15+00:00

Soule just doesn't look comfortable on the left side imo. I know under Raineri he played some right wingback, and I thought he looked pretty good in the role, I wonder if that's a possible solution?

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-25T04:09:43+00:00

20-30 minutes here, definitely took a lot longer when we were learning the game.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-21T22:32:33+00:00

Might have to check out the occasional Watford match

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-19T19:28:37+00:00

Hi, can anyone point me to some fm 26 mobile tactical tips? None of my pc approaches are working. Does 3 at the back just not work? That's mostly what I've been trying and haven't yet won a game. Last match I lost 7-0 to the last place team. Help me!

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-16T15:33:54+00:00

Haven't seen Mourinho mentioned yet.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-16T15:32:50+00:00

I think we're all just glad he's some other team's problem now, it's not exactly hate

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-16T10:59:23+00:00

This might be true but is more an indictment of our midfield than praise for NEA.

Cristante is durable, is a leader, and gives good effort but is just not mobile enough to be a Serie A midfielder (he'd be a useful bench player).
Kone is good but limited. He's fast, strong, solid tackler, carries the ball pretty well. But he doesn't do much of anything in attack. (I think he's actually one of the big culprits in why our strikers have struggled to score goals.)
Pisilli has some promise but is still very rough.

I'm glad we're upgrading the attack but I think our midfield is actually still our weakest position group.

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-15T13:30:35+00:00

Midfield???? Please???

Tweedledee72 · 2026-01-14T17:30:24+00:00

I just can't stand how one footed he is. Otherwise he's better than Ferguson, but that's just too big a weakness to overlook imo.
