Roma - MilanIn describing a scene in the heat of battle, one of my favourite authors once wrote, “sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it”. There is still a good deal of truth in this if moved to the context of Pablo Osvaldo and Roma. This summer, surely matters need to come to a head.

Roma’s 2-2 draw with Napoli felt like a defeat for many fans inside the Stadio Olimpico, who whistled and jeered the team in the warm up, as they entered the pitch and as they left it at full time.

What a game. What a glorious, glorious game.

Ladies and gentlemen, that was Roma. The initial lead, the following possession that led to nothing, the awful defense on the goal conceded, and dramatic finishes at the end.

Posted on by Julian De Martinis in Editorial | 6 Comments

Tides are turning. Even the most ardent Luis Enrique fans are starting to perhaps wonder if Roma’s experiment is one that simply is not going to work out.
