I don't think we're playing badly, they started off brightly and played with velocity but we settled into the game in midfield as the half wore on. Suazo has sucked, though. Zanetti and Stankovic didn't do anything worth mention. Burdisso solid. Max had a couple of nice runs.
Anyway, it would be quite an ask to beat Roma without 6/7 starters.

A very bad display overall.
Maxwell was out best player by far. His defensive coverage wasn't too bad. And his runs were the most dangerous.
Cesar was super useless. He needs to get out.... now!
Roma scored a good goal. Well deserved. We didn't do much to compete.
I want to see Pele and Jimenez as soon as possible.

I wanna see Pele holding the center DM. Veira either can be subbed or shift a little away from there... 4312, with Jimegol and CrespoGol. ACesar can F off/
He can cross when under pressure... When he has the time in the world... he cant cross

The season ends with the Coppa Italia Final, but Steve Wilson is finding it hard to decide who is going to emerge victorious
Italy’s season ends tonight with the Coppa Italia Final between Serie A champions Inter and runners-up Roma. It is the perfect match to end what has been an enthralling season – but who wants it more?
Amazingly, it is the fourth consecutive time that the two sides have met in the Italian Cup Final – thanks mainly to the tennis-style seeded draw. Roma are the holders, but Inter won the first two encounters.
Tonight’s game is possibly the hardest to call of the entire season. Inter have just won the title, but Roma were by far the better team over the closing months of the campaign.
The match may be Roberto Mancini’s farewell to the Nerazzurri, and he won’t want to go out on a low note. On the other hand, Luciano Spalletti’s boys have nothing to show yet for their hard work this term.
The Serpenti have been hit by the news that Scudetto clinching striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is unavailable for the game, but I Lupi can counter that they are without talismanic skipper Francesco Totti.
So far, no way to split them. Inter have the measure of the Giallorossi this year, the aggregate score over their two League encounters standing at 5-2 to the Beneamata. However, the Final is being played at the Olimpico.
Predictions for this tussle would be futile. If you must have an indication of who will win then toss a coin, the result will be as insightful as any pundit’s attempt to pick a winner. Let’s just hope it is great game – and may the best team win.
