Roma match thread

Oh for ****s sake that was a good tackle.

Football is so soft now.

[Gibbo]

Should of been over then.

Brendo, sign Lamella, now.

Him and Lucas were fantastic. And that is my point Matt 'he cannot defend' so Lucas covering for him was perfect.

Adam has no positional sense, can't tackle and is slow, but he has a lovely left foot, good passing range and high production level. Aqua is a passenger and is always on the outskirts of games IMO.

But you could have stuck anyone next to Lucas for that. Quite frankly Aquilani is far better for that because he has game intelligence that Adam simply doesn't have.

Adam's presence didn't help our attacking in open play.

Jaysis as if on cue for matt

Like i said play to his strengths closer to opposition goal and we will benefit from this lad.

Problem with Adam is he's not really offensive enough to play high enough up the park that he doesn't have to tackle. Or in his case, try to tackle. I just can't see a role for him in a 4-3-3... or a 4-4-2 for that matter.

That last Roma player they mentioned lamella , he is one to watch.

Adam has no positional sense, can't tackle and is slow, but he has a lovely left foot, good passing range and high production level. Playing him as a DM/deep lying midfielder is going against everything he has in his locker and highlights all his weaknesses.

As for Aqua he is a passenger, too tame and weak to control any CM in the premier league, and is always on the outskirts of games IMO. Two very different players

Run Lucas into the ground so that Adam can get the odd goal and odd assist? You're bonkers.

[Gibbo]

Some good football there, then Pacheco tried to do a little too much.

Lamella is exactly the type of player we are missing.

I'll put a bid in for 18 look to settle at 20 plus add ons

IMO played as a squaddie/fill in role in teh Gerrard position he would be very productive.

E.g. Lucas---Allen
-------Gerrard--------
------(Adam)---------

[Nicey]

I think we can manage the draw.

Great shout

Good man.

Maybe we could sweeten the deal with an ex Roma player.

Not intelligent enough for that role.

That makes no sense, i've already said that i don't think he should be playing as a deep lying CM. Just pointing out that the two were working well together before the Lucas injury.

terrible decision
