I expect a comfortable win while resting plenty of players. That is the dismal standard Roma are at. Having said that I expect them to be fired up on Mourinho's return to the Meazza.

According to GdS, it will be Dzeko-Sanchez in attack and Darmian-Dimarco on the wings. Rest for Lautaro and De Vrij.

No matter what Dzeko always needs to start.

we dont have anyone who can score goals. I dont expect this to be 'comfortable', unless hakan recovers his form

Dzeko starts because Caicedo is not ready yet.

Fucking shame the guy who was suppose to come to give Dzeko some rest can't do that in the specific moment when it's needed the most.

Why can't Lautaro start? He played 70mins compared to 90mins of Dzeko? Dzeko will still start against Napoli and Liverpool so wtf?

Dzeko just had two weeks off whereas lautaro was in South America playing two full matches. He's probably only coming around from being jet lagged now

Judging from inzaghi's presser I don't expect much rotation

I'd probably start with Dimarco instead of Perisic, if there's even the slightest risk of aggravating the knock he got against Milan, we need Perisic to be 100% for crucial game against Napoli. Agree otherwise with the lineup.

I don't think Calhanoglu is out of form as such. I think he had a very solid game in the derby but I'd still like to see more from an offensive standpoint.

He's one of the few players in this team with a legitimately good shot, but he seems to take very few shots per game on average. I can't recall him taking even one shot in the derby for example.

I think it'd help add another dimension to our offense (which is suffering) if we can make more regular use of the danger he presents around the edge of the box. Granted, there's not always space, but that's to be expected. MAKE space by linking up with the forwards with some quick one-two passes. Take advantage of the movement created when Lautaro or Perisic makes a run ffs. This is one area where Sensi excelled in for example.

That goes for everyone of course, not just Hakan. But I want us to exploit that ability of his in particular, the same way the entire Atalanta squad knows to create space for Malinovskyi to shoot.

There are two types Inzaghi subs, shit to good, and good to shit..

This one must be shit to good after 70 minutes, so i am not worry about this match. We sure win.

Instead, if we playing good 70 minutes, and subs in Vidal, i should worry about that match.

Conte's subs were too late or sometimes never would use all subs, while Inzaghi's are too early and sometimes it feels like he makes subs just for the sake of it without necessity. He needs to choose a middle ground between the two approaches.

i expect this will be a difficult match. that's why Inzaghi doesnt want to take risk and choose to play most of our starters. however, we are winning this game considering our last encounter with Roma. :interflag2:

I'm still not sure if I'm going to watch this match. I am still disappointed with this weekend.


Who am I kidding, it's not like I have any friends or got something better to do.
Try 3 weeks without being able to consume any solid food or even alcohol, get a shitload of medication, with more shit flowing out of your mouth than in, all this right after being sick with a nasty cold for 2 weeks :lol:

So yeah, I'm watching this one, one of the best things going on with my life atm :lol: :lol:

All good, thanks.
Just a painkiller here and there. Had a broken tooth removed, there was like 1/4 of it left. Would have been easier and smoother to take out a normal one.

At least I'm on a forced diet, last time I couldn't do any exercise I ate an entire village :lol:
