That right replacing Jose Mourinho is not the right option, because I don't see that the decline in performance experienced by AS Roma is purely the Portuguese coach fault. If there is a coach who is better than Mourinho at the moment, I don't think he would want to go to replace him. Because management doesn't have enough money to build a capable squad, to make the Roma squad able to compete with other elite clubs in Serie A. So overall Roma current performance is in line with their spending in the transfer market, Lukaku could be a temporary hope because he is a loan player.

Looking at the current situation, it will be very difficult for Roma to finish in the top four, although they will improve in the next few matches. The presence of Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli makes it difficult for Roma to finish in that position. But if Mourinho gets enough budget in January, Roma will improve in the second half I think.

This embarrassing defeat was certainly enough to tarnish the face of Jose Mourinho as Roma coach. This inconsistent performance has put Mourinho's position in the spotlight again, but The Special One is still quite confident and he is responsible for polishing the Roma squad again so they can get out of their downturn.

But it looks like Mourinho's future with Roma is coming to an end and won't be until the end of the season. Even though Roma has added ammunition in the attack line such as Lukaku, this has not been the case with the condition of the back line. Please note that Rome's defense is very fragile and they don't have the mentality to fight. I think Mourinho should focus on evaluating that position in order to have stability in the match. If you look at Roma's defense, I am pessimistic that they can create something that will please their fans.

I think many people bet on AS Roma in that match. Even I personally am also included in it. To be honest, I didn't even suspect that AS Roma would lose in this match. The worst result I expect is a draw. I didn't watch this match in full. I only watched the second half. And I was surprised because it turned out that Roma had lost 2-1 in the first half. But I think that Roma will turn things around in the second half. Because Roma's ball control is also quite good. But it turns out I was wrong. And yeah this is really disappointing. Genoa apparently should not be underestimated. It seems that the 2 teams promoted from Serie B this season are quite high quality. And we should not underestimate it.

I never thought sacking Mourinho was a good solution and would make Roma much better.
Many people's expectations of Roma this season are too high, many hope they will be at the top for the Scudetto but in fact their performance was really very bad at the start of this season, and I don't see any mistake here because the Roma squad this season is not very good. very different from last season and in my opinion a decline in performance for a team is normal and we just need to wait for time for them to recover.

Anyone here betting on Roma? I hope you don't do that.

As we know, Genoa just humiliated Roma in last night's home match which left Jose Mourinho's troops unable to move and were beaten with a score of 4-1. In fact, even though Roma dominated the match, their defense was so chaotic that it was very easy for Genoa to score 4 goals against them.

On the other hand, no one thought that Roma would lose in this match and looking at the results they achieved in the last few matches, this result can be said to be very unstable. Moreover, this result meant that Roma had to be stuck in 16th position again this week.

The defeat suffered by Roma with a score of 4-1 by Genoa was indeed quite a hard blow for Mourinho. But I personally still can't blame the coach for the poor performance shown by the Roma squad. Because Genoa is not an easy opponent to overcome.

We must also remember that Lazio also suffered defeat by Genoa. Then Napoli were also frustrated by being held to a draw by Genoa. So Roma's defeat by Genoa shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

In fact, Roma actually had many opportunities in this match, it's just that the players couldn't take advantage of them well. And Roma's defensive line was also very weak in that match. This is what caused the Roma goal to concede 4 goals.

This season Roma is indeed far from everyone's expectations. But I still believe Mourinho is a high quality coach who can bring good change back to the club.

Roma was a disaster to say the least yesterday night.I think also this was the most disastrous start of a season so far in his career as a coach while coaching big teams in big leagues.Things are clear now,they are not functioning and most likely Mourinho should be sacked,he can't turn things around most likely and losing with a tennis result against a weaker team is a big red flag at least for me.

It is not yesterday only,yesterday was the focal point but Roma has not been doing well since the start of this season and they are still not doing well,time to change things as the only solution.

Roma is now a relegation team. The level of roma is the same like a relegation club now. Roma is a pathetic club. Pathetic, pathetic and pathetic but yet again goes back to the mourinho as the manager of club. Genoa has better mentality than roma.
That's a fact.
Genoa 4 shots 4 goals, Roma 3 shots 1 goal. Roma ball possession 71% but a fewer goal attempts. roma's so crap. I don't even know what kind of strategy being played by roma.
Passing and backpass. I don't even see the attackers of roma. Roma shall get rid of mourinho but the quality of players is so crap. They don't know what they are doin.

Mourinho goes still have a bit of time to turn the things around. It's a shame for roma to lose against genoa with huge scores.

Lukaku does nothing in this match.

Tell you what, seeing AS Roma lose to Genoa was really something. It made me laugh. Four goals given up with no response? That's more like a team fighting to stay in Serie A than a team they're meant to beat. I was so amazed as I watched Genoa run circles around them. Now, let's talk about Roma. What the heck was that? It was like watching paint dry as they passed the ball around with no plans to attack. That guy Mourinho has a lot of work to do. I really thought he would have made a difference. I would be so mad at him that I would pull my hair out. Things are crazy, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had to fight it out in the lower tier next season if they don't get their act together

You would also agree that these strikers are not some of the best in Europe currently. Renato Sanches and Paulo Dybala can be rated as average players but Roma shouldn't depend on Romelu Lukaku to get the goals. Lukaku has improved slightly but a team like Roma needs something better. If it was not for the financial constraints the club would have gotten better players. So I will agree with @Docnaster that José Mourinho needs more players to make his work easy. He is still a highly respected coach that many clubs will be willing to hire if he is sacked.

I will say it was a lucky day for Genoa to have the first home win for the season. Roma poorly defended and they gave Genoa's striker too much space. Roma's fans turned against their club chanting at Jose and his players demanding some respect. I think the fans have endured a hard time with five points in six matches. Jose has promised to turn things around and I saw him supporting his players after the game. He is still the special one maybe he will perform some miracles.  

So far this is the worst start for Mourinho in his career. Roma have only 5 points from 6 matches and if not for the defeat of Empoli, I think the Roma management could have already given Mourinho an ultimatum, but for now I think he is somewhat protected from dismissal. There is time to gain points, yes there were no big purchases and Roma, but the squad is very good for Serie A and to compete for the prizes is not too late. the more so that in the match with Genoa Roma was a little unlucky, on shots on goal they were ahead of Genoa, but Genoa shot only 4 times on goal, scored 4 goals! A phenomenal result.

I can imagine what my eye saw, when I watched how Genoa a small Italian club with the market value of just around 5M euros, thrashing the AS Roma whose market value is around 22 million euros. And I'm like what's wrong with the latter club. Why can't Roma at least control and stop some of the goals from happening. The goal margin is just much to me to have find the likes of Romelu Lukaku, at the forward strike, Dybala and other top players playing for the club in the game.

Yesterday's game, puts Genoa ahead of Roma at the league table with a gap of 4 clubs ahead leaving Roma at 16th club in the league. What's then the essence of their squad depth and what was completely wrong with the team yesterday? Checking at their fixtures with Genoa in the past, it used to be a win for the Roma. Now what has changed? Could we say it's the fault of Jose Mourinho? Why couldn't he thrash Genoa like he earlier thrashed Empoli 7:0?

So many questions to be asked over the bad performance of the team yesterday and much is to be expected by the team in the next matches. I don't think Roma is overrated per say but these recent poor performance could put an analyst in the state of dilemma. Jose Mourinho should better wake up as this isn't the time to dysfunction the club and that should not be in his name. This is my many will go for Pep Guardiola instead.

the problem with these crybaby coaches is precisely that, they don't know how to take on their own responsibilities
- Jose Mourinho
- Antonio Conte
and still others, they are unprofessional people. True professionals are those who make purchase requests but who try and do the best with what they have.
You don't have to have a team of stars to win the championship, see Ranieri's Leichester.
So stop whining.

@Docnaster while Roma have struggled financially but they did managed to get Mourinho a striker like Lukaku and Sanches and last season they had got Dybala hence it’s up to Mourinho to get the best out of them. Lastly I feel that he’s on borrowed time and 2 - 3 more defeat’s will end his spell with Roma and it won’t be surprising because he often gets sacked in the third season.

The season had a bad start for As Roma, I don't know what As Roma experienced until they were beaten by Genoa with an unusual score, the arrival of Romelu Lukaku had no impact whatsoever for As Roma, even now As Roma is slumped in 16th place in the Italian standings, of course this It is a public question how they could lose concentration by conceding 4 goals so mercilessly, even some of the main players were played, but the Capital Wolves could not avoid a crushing defeat.

I think one of the biggest challenges of Jose Mourinho since ho took over the managerial position at Roma is the fact that the club isn't financially stable enough to sign the quality players Mourinho would've wanted for himself at the club and that I think has really affected the Portuguese manager from delivering consistent good performances and results for the Italian club.
The club hasn't been very active like the other Italian big clubs in the transfer market which has been a big worry for the manager. I think a manager of Mourinho's pedigree isn't supposed to be managing club like Roma who's not ready to sign high profile players

AS Roma are not in form, this game they're thrashing their opponents, the next game they're heavily losing. It's simply inconsistent performance that's troubling the club, I hoped they would realized their weaknesses on time and make proper fixed of them because it's too late and noticed in forthcoming games. Perhaps this is football, one's best team can record one of the most humiliated defeats against average clubs. Genoa thrashed AS Roma 4-1 at Luigi Ferraris stadium. José Mourinho is disappointed with his team's poor performance against Genoa, who would have expects such a wonderful display from the Grifone, they were exceptionally outstanding, humiliates Mourinho's men.

Roma's defeat against Genoa didn't come as much of a surprise to me. They are indeed in a positive trend after not losing in the last 3 matches. But Roma are still showing their inconsistency this season. I think the depth of the squad they have has an influence. Roma does not have reserve players who are at the same level as the main players. This will have bad consequences if the team has a busy schedule. Genoa has a rest period of 2 days longer than Rome. And I think that also influenced the performance of both teams in this match.
