How the fuck can Pellegrini pull a penalty THAT BAD? Szczęsny made a small deke and Pellegrini bought it completely. Worst penalty I've seen this season. Szczęsny was on the ground before the shot was released.

It belongs in one of the worst games of the season.

Did you honestly have hopes that Roma could take points off Juventus? The fact that they conceded 4 is expected. Scoring 3 is the surprise.

swear roma are the italian tottenham
They always were tbh. Don't let what they did in 2001 convince you otherwise. They're the team with most finishes in second place in Serie A for a reason. Ultimate chokers.

Comparing then to Tottenham is unfair. Tottenham are nobodies, Roma are usually relevant chokers.
Now they may be some sort of 90s/2000s Tottenham variant, surely, but they're still one of the best Pretenders in top football.

Roma is not a proper team. Mourinho has completely failed in his task. They don't have a great material, but no matter the material, they should play like a team by now. This is fucking shambles. They can't defend at all, they have absolute no discipline in their game, zero. No idea what to do now, in 11v10, just hooping some balls to the box.

The fact he changed to back three and plays it now says it all, he is desperate as fuck. And that's only one of the signs.

Roma is spending money too, on completely average players. They have no direction.
They have American owners who only care about PL rejects.

I expect Mourinho to resign at the end of the season, provided he endures this torture, unless they let him dictate transfer policy or hire someone to do it.

This. People may not realise by looking at their squad but Roma spent 100m on transfers last summer. They had the most expensive summer in their history but they have nothing to show for. No direction as a club. I don't think Pinto is the right fit to turn things around at Roma.

Guys think about it, who actually cares? We all know Roma are unreliable anyway, obviously the way it happened is pretty pathetic and slightly embarrassing. But it's our job to knock them down a few pegs in a few days time, so may aswell focus on that.
