Everyone has the same expectation about AS Roma, but maybe the decline that occurs requires time to return to its best performance, a lot of blunders at the beginning of the season and strategies in the game are very far from the effectiveness of last season's strategy.
Several key AS Roma players suffered injuries at the start of the season, I think this was one of the factors in the decline in the performance of Mourinho squad. I agree with your opinion that ups and downs in performance are normal, especially since Roma is not active enough in the transfer market in hunting for players. Lukaku's presence can at least help the Giallorossi improve their performance, if they can finish in the UCL zone I think that's good enough.
I think inadequate financial factors mean that Roma cannot have much say in Serie A, in contrast to Inter, Juventus, Milan, which last summer were quite active in hunting for players. So the results that Roma are currently achieving are very commensurate with their expenditure, I think if Pep Guardiola were in Mourinho current position the situation would not be much different.
Jose Mourinho is a very good coach, a proven one for that matter and with the right backing and financial support from the board he'll recruit good players that would elevate the performance of the team and make them one of the the strongest side contending for the league title, but since the club is not very financially capable of backing him up he'll have to manage the ones he's got, although Lukaku is a very fine addition to the team and I believe he'll do his best to help them achieve success this season, probably securing Europa or conference league spot.
sinpIt is natural that indeed some of their main players have experienced injuries, it is quite reasonable to experience a significant decline.
I think Lukaku is not so good in playing on the field, he is old and the performance is not like before, I think too much hope in Lukaku is a mistake.
The influence of the lack of finance makes them unable to move and compete to get good players on the stock exchange, this is not his mistake, however Mourinho has to work hard with the current state of his team, and negative view is definitely following him from a handful of people.
We don't know what exactly happened to AS Roma which experienced a decline like this, until it was ranked 12th in the beginning of this season.
In the coherent history, Mourinho has a good history of some Musm back and they get a fairly brilliant achievement in my opinion, about the ups and downs of performance from AS Roma itself, in my opinion it is a natural thing and all teams must have experienced their downward nait.

What happen with many discussing with AS Roma, first winning over 7-0 from Empoli is not special achievement due against with weakness opponent team are very bottom standings placed. AS Roma performance not really well after losing 2 of 4 matches and added with their weakness mentality performance when facing top Serie A teams. I think AS Roma still up down in few matches later and can't guarantee with bigger winning score last match make them consistency in the winning trend up coming match. Actually several matches later AS Roma face with weakness opponent teams and their opportunity for returning to the top standings position, will difficult earn three points when facing top opponent teams due last season performance Roma always failed with three points against top standings teams.
We did not talk about a few previous matches this season, but the match last season, and Mourinho's journey as a career as a coach in the world of football. LOL
Empoli is not a weak team. But the situation is not good yesterday so that it is easy to beat, don't underestimate a team, you are too excessive about that friend.
