The problem is that Roma don't have strategies good enough to fight for the league championship. Mourinho is still adopting the same old ones at Roma also. But with the current squad quality he has, he can definitely do much better than this. They have made really good improvements to the squad in last transfer window. They have made their attacking line even stronger with Dybala and Belotti additions. Belotti couldn't even find much chance in the Serie A so far. He mostly played for a short amount of time even his stats show it like he played in 12 matches.
Roma need an attacking-oriented game plan. They shouldn't play very cautiously against even the biggest opponents of them here. This is one of the main factors that are dragging them down in the standings. If Mourinho doesn't make the necessary changes I think Roma might think of bringing a more suitable manager by next season.
Roma is not in a favorable position right now. They are not performing as well as they should be. As of right now, they are ranked seventh on the table. And we also look at the last five matches, they only have one win in them. That is not a commendable performance I'm afraid. Mourinho has to come up with new plans. Otherwise, I don't see Roma performing well when the league competition resumes.
I also agree that if they keep playing defensively they are not going to be able to perform well and get ahead on the table. They have conceded a lot of goals (14) and that is absolutely not ideal. And I think a big reason why they have conceded so many goals is because they have been playing way too defensively.
This clearly must be anticipated, especially if you look at the conditions from Rome, especially for its supporters, actually things like this are still very risky, especially when looking in the mirror last season, which was almost the same condition as it is today, making most of their supporters angry with Mou and not impossible. when they still continue like this Mou out movement will still be heard again.
Before the break in the last 5 matches they were only able to get 1 win which makes this a bit difficult for them.
