But even despite this defeat, not everything is so bad - Roma is still above both Juventus and Inter and is only one point behind Milan and Napoli. I think that Mourinho will benefit from this defeat by setting up the mind set of players correctly. Sometimes a major defeat is necessary in order to more objectively evaluate your strengths and work harder. I liked his interview after the game where he said that one 0-4 defeat is better than four 0-1 defeats.
As a matter of fact, I thought Roma was going to have a better result. There was even a chance that Roma could actually win this match. However, this did not end up happening. Roma suffered a very humiliating loss in this match. However, it is understandable why something like this happened. They had made some very rookie mistakes in that match. The mistakes that were made at this level cannot be forgiven. As a result of those mistakes, they were punished very badly. In that match, Roma had a few chances to make something out of those chances, but they were not able to take them. Hopefully, they are going to work on the problems that they have found in order to fix them. The team has only played five matches so far this season, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.
No one expected such a result, but for Serie A, unexpected failures of the leaders are already commonplace. I don't agree with your analysis, Roma didn't make any rookie mistakes. They were just unlucky with the fact that Udinese scored first and then just sat in defense and played counter attacks. This is a killer tactic against a team that must try to win at all costs. On this day the Udinese were lucky. This is a good lesson and Roma needs to get used to the fact that many opponents will play against it in this way.
