Roma Vs Real Madrid (CL 2015/16)

We'll beat them comfortably

Don't even care about this tie honestly. Not because we won't win it, but because qualifying for next year matters more and we're in real danger of that not happening. If we somehow get through, great for morale I suppose. If we don't, that's cool too since not having Europe honestly works better for us so that we can concentrate on taking 3rd away from Inter/Fio, who are ripe for the taking.

It's a matter of priorities. This one isn't the top one.

As long as we don't embarrass ourselves again, I'm good with any result.

Fio is in choke mode, Inter is so and so and Milan is Milan. You'll get that 3rd spot no problem, even if you're playing bad, you're the best out of a bad bunch.

This match can go either way...

I remember who Luciano Spalletti is. Capello is right, Madrid must be wary. Especially with recent injuries. Spalletti will not go down without a fight and I highly doubt he will have roma play for a draw.

Big test for Zidane. Unlike jokers like benitez or di matteo, spalletti is tactically adept. If Real madrid don't take this seriously, we'll see a repeat of the last time we faced Roma.

Yeah those games I'm not worried about. It's the Udineses, Palermos, Empolis, Genoas, and Atalantas that worry me. We win some of those, but lose some of those too, especially when we play to their level like we did in the last half-hour against Samp.

Fortunately, we tend to rise to the occasion against sides like Madrid (at least 1 leg anyway).

You'll be having both flanks unmarked and you won't have any resistance, be it defending or pressing, from both Ronaldo and Benzema. The question is not whether you'll score or not, the question is how many goals we'll concede.

I'd be content with a draw, but I honestly feel like we'll lose this one.

what do you gain from this? seriously are you that desperate? no one on the team walks as much as cr, and benz runs a lot i don't see the need to lie about.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 'no #ASRoma players I'd swap shirts with, but they can have mine'.

dat Totti insult

ronaldo must be aware that ibarbo is out on loan

Ok so maybe he was taken a tad out of context. The full quote:

“There’s no-one for Roma I want to swap shirts with. They’re all good players. But if someone asks me, I’d have no problem giving them mine.”

Just means he's not particularly close to any one player from our team. It's a bit of a loaded question honestly. I don't have an issue with his answer on second reading.

Prefer ES' version of the article tbh

Ronaldo won't even know who Vanqueer or Florenzi are when they try to swap shirts

Still waiting for Ronaldo and Messi to swap shirts.

Will be an epic moment. Would go down as one of the most famous football pics when both are retired.

Roma XI: Szczesny; Florenzi, Manolas, Rüdiger, Digne; Pjanic, Vainqueur; Salah, Nainggolan, El Sharaawy; Perotti

Not sure about ES as lone striker, doesn't have the skillset to operate in that role. He can finish thats for sure, positioning might be awkward though as he always likes to cut in and take a pot shot. At the very least, he will track back like a hound dog.

who the f is vainquer

would love an upset but expecting roma to get smashed

ES benched by coentrao at Monaco but starting CL games against Madrid

yeah


no idea

forza roma?

Real Madrid XI: Navas, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Kroos, Modric, Isco, James, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Roma win this 3-1

Apparently Perotti will play as a false number 9. I have watched him since he left Sevilla so i dont know how much he has regressed. Will be interestibg how our CBs deal with him

Who the heck is Vanquir

why are you assuming that Perotti has regressed? Kroos wont be able to keep up with him

well, we better score

i actually feel bad for our back 4 (really, back 3 with Marcelo). They have absolutely ZERO cover. Nothing.

I have a bad feeling. Roma is going to take advantage of our lazy guys and overwhelm our back line.

I feel like we're going to lose this one. I hope I'm wrong.

Are you guys for real? This is AS Roma. They usually lose by 7 goals in the CL. Keita still starts for them after we've sent him packing to China about 5 years ago.

Furthermore, we had a problem on the GK position and thus decided to get Szescny.

If you lose to us in a CL knockout you have to close shop.
