What is "top defenders in PL"?

Literally every upper table PL team call some of their players 'top in PL', it doesn't mean anything anymore.
It means he had consistenly been one of the best performers in his position, which he has been. There are 20 teams with 2 central defenders on average and he performed better than a high percentage of those players.
There is nothing bizzare about it.

I think the premature sacking of De Rossi, killed Roma's moral and they will hardly recover this season.

Napoli is still a main threat imo. They have one game per week, and it seems that they beat with ease the mid and low table teams. Yes, they can lose against us, and some other good teams but watching how we are wasting points here and there, I'm not so optimistic.

I don't know what to think about Jube. They look hot and cold. But, I'd put them on 3rd place of scudetto contenders, after Napoli and Inter.

It looks like Juric is definitely leaving. Who do you think can save Roma's season? I'm thinking Allegri, Sarri, Terzic, De Rossi again, or maybe even another top manager?

Not sure there's anyone who can save them. Squad looks badly built. I don't even know what would be their best lineup.

Bernabe injured, he seems in so much pain, but hopefully it's not serious injury.

TBH I never rated Ivan Jurić, he and Aasperini are not top team coaches imho, but I can see if Roma has the patient he can turn Roma into a young dynamic team like ATA but different styles, since Roma has no money, it would be stupid to just fire him.

Balotelli is called up for Parma match. Would be interesting to see him getting some meaningful minutes
Wish someone wouldve given him a chance a few years ago. He was more of a headcase then but hes always had the ability. Tough to see him doing much at 34 but his first goal back will be an amazing moment and I wish him the best.

The table is crazy. Juventus is 6th but they are only 4 points off the top. Milan 7th with 1 point less if they win their delayed match.

Any slip here and there anyone could drop out of CL spot.

You mean like bbilan in 2013 or pool in 2014 or bbilan again in 2015 or nizza in 2016, marseille in 2019 then brescia in 2020 or Monza in 2021?

The dude has gotten more than enough chances throughout his career to show he s a serious professional and he threw every single one away without a second thought.....
