great match thread opening , and poll too. very nice!
Thank you. I only posted the poll because I wanted to include some simple prematch games for members to see our perspectives and confidence levels, and I'm not encouraging any gambling activities. I think there has never been a poll in a match topic before, so if the mods don't like the idea, feel free to edit the post.
This would have been an easy game if Mourinho was still there. But now is different as they have a mentality boost which can drive the match to unpleasant direction for us. Similar how they scored very early against Cagliari yesterday.
Yeah, they seems to get morale boost after these 3 consecutive wins, despite the fact that the matches they won were against lower-table opponents.
De Rossi's 4-3-3 seems unlock some attacking abilities from some players who may have previously been limited by Mou's system.
It remains to be seen how their defence works. I only saw a few highlights from their encounter against Salernitana, which Salernitana seems deserve more with all the chances their created, no wonder the man of the match was Rui Patricio.
Our away games records have been very good, with 9 wins, 2 draws and 0 loss in 11 games. We scored 25 goals and only conceded 4 goals.
It won't be easy game for sure, but we can get a win here, we just need to stay humble and respect the opponent.
