What would we do and where would we be without him.roud:

 

[Primo]

Grazie Montella :thmbup:
One word: relieved.

 

[romafan53]

Super Vincenzo to the rescue, yet again. Grazie:star:

 

[Deano]

Well 2-1 is not so bad. i said we should not under-estimate Atalanta who only ever lose by 1 goal usually. Well the win is great, after a loss in the derby, the only important thing was the 3 points.

They're still the worst team in serie A, even if they don't lose by great margins. And to think that without Montella we would have at best gotten a draw considering our play as a team did not improve since the derby, again inidividual brilliance bails us out. :groan:

Nice to get three points though, they were needed.

Lo secondo gol di Montella = :star:

The goal came out of nowhere, nobody expected he would even shoot. It was a moment of a cool genius!

GRANDE VINCENZO!!!

 

[Deano]

Its easy to say that without Montella bla bla bla, but the fact is Montella was there, he is a Roma player and he is our best goalscorer.

No team can play so easily without their main striker, if Zlatan is missing for Juve, or Shevchenko for Milan or whatever it is always going to be that bit tougher for that team, even if Juve and Milan would still beat Atalanta without them players.

Atalanta have only ever lost 1-0 like I said and considering the result on thursday, we did well just to win.

 

[Rosa]

I think that everyone was just saying how great he is rather than critising the rest of the team. For example Montella's first goal was due to a great cross by Totti so without him then it would have been a draw etc...

Well, that is true of course. Let my negativity get the upper hand earlier, 'tis all.

How did Montolivo look?

Agreed.

 

[Demandred]

Come on, we would've most probably won without Montella, we dominated throughout and they didn't have a single decent attack until we nearly stopped playing with about 20 minutes to go. We were very far from our best, admittedly, but we did enough to win withiout really streching ourselves, which is not bad, especially after the derby debacle.

 

[Primo]

We also had a lot of disqualified and injured players! C'mon, we got 3 points, let's be happy for that!

To be perfectly honest, I believe without Montella, the game would have ended 1-1.

I guess I can't be happy for awhile until its really hit me that we won't be title challengers for God knows how long and Totti and Cassano are probably playing in Spain next year.

 

[Primo]

You cheered me up when I was feeling the same way, so let me try and cheer you.
I think we will defeat Chievo on Sunday and be at 29 points going into the ritorno. The dreadful first part of the season is almost over and Roma will be able to "start over" again in a decent spot to challenge for a CL spot, especially if Milan beat Udinese this weekend.
Totti is a Romanista at heart and I believe he will remain here. His presence would disrupt other clubs, and I believe Roma will find a way to keep him and buy other players to satisfy him. Cassano may not stay in all truthfulness, but we would get a huge sum of money for him and/or other talented players. I hope he does stay, and he still might. He is still kissing Totti on both cheeks prior to matches, and his goal celebration at the derby was genuine. Real may not even want him.
Let's enjoy these months ahead. It may or may not be the last time we see the two together, so let's savor it and not dread what we don't know.

 

[Lista]

I have no doubts that Totti will stay, but Cassano could go.
Cassano, if you're reading this, please stay. And, oh behave :smileani:

 

[Zangari_Italia]

Primo I admire you. Perhaps we should leave this coaching debate for another time and the Cassano thing for another day. Roma will become more than a mediocre team in that I have faith.
