The game against Pisa reminded me of another game we had last season with heroic Svilar and flawless N'dicka. The VAR decision is still very obscure, the left wing of attack is still lacking in terms of quality, but it's another win, and I am happy to share the "6-out-of-6" club with Cremonese. Also, I want to talk about Federico Coletta and who is to blame for his sale.

The first game of the season against Bologna left me with mixed feelings: it is a win at the end of the day, but in terms of performance, Roma did not look like a well-oiled mechanism. Still a lot of work to do, but I enjoyed the high pressing and Ferguson's performance.

Based on Gasperini's history of rough starts in his new clubs, one might expect the same situation to repeat in Rome. His playing style requires a lot of work that is nearly impossible to complete in 3 months without draining all the life out of the player. Today, I am trying to analyze the past and see if it applies to the present.

Today's post was supposed to go out on Tuesday, but the news kept changing, and I was trying to catch up. It's Friday, and I still don't know what is going on β too much uncertainty here. The post itself consists of several related bits, each written on a different day. I hope next week Roma will wrap this saga up, and I'll be able to write my thoughts in a more coherent manner.

There are two main coaching philosophies out there: one emphasizes creativity and freedom, while the other relies on structure and system. Below the fold is more about these philosophies and why Gasperini, while being a good coach, might not be the best choice for the current Roma squad.

This is one of those grim posts, where I share my pessimism around Roma's new right-back. I am not a big fan of non-EU transfers, especially from Brazil, but I tried very hard to justify Wesley's transfer. Spoiler: I failed, I don't think this was a good transfer. I sincerely hope I am wrong.
