AS Roma bringing in Romelu Lukaku this season, he's the top nine and replacing injured Tammy Abraham in league games, the new attacker who prove himself on the pitch, already netted just a goal, there's more the supporters expects from him. AS Roma did start Seria A in poor condition but they amend everything and restore back their strength when they humiliated Empoli 7 nil at the stadio Olimpico. José Mourinho have complex plans for his club, he's keen on achieving significant titles this season, perhaps we are still expecting good performance from Giallorossi.
This is José Mourinho's 3rd season with Roma, and José Mourinho is quite an experienced coach so I think no one doubts that José Mourinho can make Roma much better this season, since José Mourinho's arrival to Roma there have been many positive changes that have occurred. , and so is this season.Even though Roma experienced a poor performance at the start of the season, I think last weekend's big win was a turning point for them this season.
And Lukaku's presence with Roma cannot be concluded yet, he is still new to the team and needs more to adapt.
Even the Sevilla fans wouldn't be able to defend that type of game, it was obvious that there were not just one or two bad decisions, there were game changing big huge mistakes that cost Roma that game. However, it is obvious that Mourinho is trying to change the topic, last year was last year, we are in today and they are not doing well at the league today. There is no excuse for them to be this bad at the league this season.
That is nothing but facts stated but that is not the major importance now for As Roma. Long since they raised the League Cup, the Seria A. Jose Mourinho should channel that energy used to talk about the past Into winning one of the big major cup games and Competitions.
Lose are bad to experience but no matter what happens and the consequences one must always learn the lessons that are associated with lose. Jose Mourinho did all he could do but Sevilla seem to have extra luck and effort involved in winning the Europa League
I want Roma to win the Seria A but that can not happen with the squad of Jose Mourinho
Yeah if Roma can manage to win the Europa League title this season then at least this might be enough for Mourinho to be kept by the board. Because Roma's main goal must be to qualify for the Champions League now and winning this title will help them make it. In this case they can tolerate Roma's finishing the season out of top 4.
But I don't know if they can do their incomplete job this season. You know they were so close to it last season by reaching the finale. But Sevilla didn't let them. Mourinho still doesn't accept this fact because of being angry at the referee but this is the situation. This time Liverpool can bring the same competition to Roma as you said.
So far in their last two matches they had good performances and the destroyed Empoli with multiple goals and also against Sheriff in the Champions league Roma players where very impressive and deserved the winning, I think if they get out of the Champions League into the Europa they'll still have a lot of tough contebders that would make winning the league tough for them
Mourinho is a great and famous coach and he is the coach to win the Champions League with Porto while they didn't have many famous and superstar players in their team.
That's why it's normal for people to expect much more from this coach, I was thinking Roma could get a much better place on the table in the last season.
Mourinho tactics are well studied by his rivals and like Simeone in Atlético Madrid, they don't have an additional value. They are keeping their teams in respectable spots but they fail to advance the team further.That's why it's normal for people to expect much more from this coach, I was thinking Roma could get a much better place on the table in the last season.
After 4 rounds, Roma won once with a big score vs Emploi and lost twice. Apart from the defeat against Milan, the points dropped in front of Verona and Salernitana shouldn't be acceptable.
Today they will face Sheriff Tiraspol in an away game. Sheriff aren't that good this season and Roma should win.
That's true but the bad thing about Mourinho and Roma is they didn't have good players in the last season and specily they had to get more forwards to have alternatives for Dybala.
This time after hiring more players I think we can even expect to see even better performance than Mourinho and Roma. However, I think even the best coach in the world can't do anything without good players and Roma had to even invest more in this season to give Mourinho more tools.
Dybala is very valuable for Roma. I can comfortably say that he is the most valuable one now. He has made a great return with his effort in the Empoli match also. His performance will be important for Roma this season. Because they are expected to make improvement in the league and they need every single one of their solid players.
This could be Mourinho's last season at the same time. You know he is in his last year of his contract already. If he doesn't improve I don't think the board would think of extending his contract.
By saying improvement I mean finishing the season in top 4. Otherwise there won't be any change compared to last season.
If Daybala was released in the transfer market last summer to Chelsea, it would be increasingly difficult for Roma to compete in Serie A. The addition of Lukaku has not made Mourinho squad completely stable, if Il Lupi fails to finish in the Champions League zone, it is possible that Roma management will not renew his contract Mourinho. Even though he is full of experience and achievements, Mourinho cannot do much at the capital club due to inadequate financial factors.This could be Mourinho's last season at the same time. You know he is in his last year of his contract already. If he doesn't improve I don't think the board would think of extending his contract.
By saying improvement I mean finishing the season in top 4. Otherwise there won't be any change compared to last season.
Mourinho best achievement with Roma was winning the UEFA Conference League in the 2022 season, where Roma became the first winners in Europe third caste competition. This season the Europa League will be proof for Mourinho, where Liverpool is the favorite club this time.
Yeah if Roma can manage to win the Europa League title this season then at least this might be enough for Mourinho to be kept by the board. Because Roma's main goal must be to qualify for the Champions League now and winning this title will help them make it. In this case they can tolerate Roma's finishing the season out of top 4.

I must say that I was surprised by Roma`s excellent signing campaign, transfer and loan campaign. They moved very well, beating very experienced teams like Juventus (I`m referring to Lukaku).
This allows him to have very strong players who give that extra sprint: and we see it works. 7 goals to Empoli.
I wouldn't say so quickly about AS Roma right now. Their blowout win is good for them, but we also have to look at the strength of the opponent they beat so soundly. This allows him to have very strong players who give that extra sprint: and we see it works. 7 goals to Empoli.
I don't mean to demean Empoli, but based on their results before the match against AS Roma, I think we can already start to see how strong they are. But I will also say something good for AS Roma, because after all this is a very good result and deserves appreciation. But they still have to continue to improve, don't be satisfied with the landslide victory they achieved recently.
Because being a strong team is not only judged by one or two matches. But we have to see how consistent they are in every match and whether they always make progress in every match. This has not been seen in As Roma because so far they are still in 12th place in the standings with four matches and four points.
This week AS Roma will face Torino. Torino actually started the season much better than AS Roma. And I think it will be very exciting to see that match. Because I want to see whether Rome has really risen or not. And I think we're all thinking pretty much the same thing here for that fight.
The match between Torino and AS Roma, you have the same thoughts as me, one of which is to ensure that AS Roma is back to be better or not in this match, but if you ask for betting I still feel doubtful for AS Roma in the match against Torino .But basically, AS Roma has a good winning record when AS Roma plays against Torino. It doesn't matter whether the match is home or away, at least maybe AS Roma is a team that is difficult for Torino to beat. If I look at the results of these factors, then at least I will still be confident that AS Roma has a chance to win. Also, if you can bet before the match starts then I think it would be good too maybe with a double chance option, of course for a draw or AS Roma winning. Because I'm sure, at this moment it looks like AS Roma won't lose, because the previous big win could be a trigger to increase their morale.

I have not seen any change from Roma as far as this season concern because Roma just won one game out of four games played, which shows they are not in that good form compared to how their four matches started last season. Roma won three games and drew just one in their four matches last season. But the only thing I saw currently that impressed me was their match against Empoli, where they won 7-0. That shows maybe Roma have picked up great form
I Think Empoli obviously needed a change, given how the season has started for them. Contrasting with their previous struggles in the Champions League, Inter domination in Serie A, they were fortunate to earn a late equalizer against Real Sociedad. Thanks to the acquisitions of Lukaku and Azmoun, Roma appears to have significantly improved this season, with a better roster and more alternatives up front. In contrast to previous season, when they mainly relied on Dybala, this might make them a serious force in Serie A. 
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.
Although everyone seems happy with the big win that As Roma had when they beat Empoli with a score of 7-0. But I personally actually feel more sorry for Empoli. Because in fact, Empoli's poor performance in this match seemed to be caused by the initial goal in the 2nd minute via a penalty which surprised all the Empoli players. The Empoli players seemed to forget the strategy they were supposed to implement. Because in that match it was very clear that Empoli's formation was a little messy. The players' confidence seemed to have disappeared since the first goal Roma scored. And AS Roma made good use of it.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.
I also felt that it was very concerned about Empoli on slaughter 7 goals without reply by AS Roma.
Too bad they have no victory during Seria A starting this season.
Zanetti must be good at training the mentality of his troops, clearly as you say that they are still easily exposed to mentality when getting pressure at the beginning of the match, Zanetti must need to understand this because it is very influential on the play's play strategy and the confidence of players.

Monza and Lecce had a draw over the weekend with the both team having a red card, that was quite disheartening for me as I expected better of Lecce as they did stand a better chance as the stonger team. The both goals were recorded in the first half of the game and the red cards in the second half, Lecce had roughing as their offence and monza roughing too as their offence and got a red card
Going by statistics levee had played five matches so far, lost none, won three and drew two. So Lecce is unbeaten since the beginning of the season, I taught the would have a better performance as compared to monza whose record going by the statistics is poor and doesn't stand a chance with Lecce, Lecce began the season on a good note and has maintained it so far.
Monza have a very poor record having played five matches aswell, lost three, won one and drew one they don't stand a match with Lecce although monza missed several chances at the beginning of the first half, the had home advantage but couldn't use it as supposed. But then monza managed to stay unbeaten at home since the beginning of this season in the seria A.

There must be a difference that Milan must show in the next match even though last week we saw a frustrating derby because Inter seemed to play alone and Milan were really taught how to play football but the Champions League match was still quite good even though they only got 1 point.
The next week for Serie A is where Milan will host Verona in week 5. Verona is not a big club but at the start of this season their movement was quite different compared to last season, this must be anticipated by Milan because Verona could bite because the start of the season with 2 wins 1 draw and 1 loss is quite good for a club of Verona's class but if Milan cannot conquer Verona then they can be shaken in terms of mentality so that in week 5 they inevitably have to bring 3 points as the final result.

The current performance of Verona, especially in the last two matches have been pretty bad. They did start well, but overall I think we can say that the performance from them has been inconsistent. So I think Milan will have a chance to win that match. But it is definitely not going to be easy, especially when they are not very consistent themselves. They have lost the match against Inter very badly. They were able to get one point from the last match which was a Champions League match. So the confidence is definitely not the best right now for them. So they will definitely have to perform really well to be able to win the match against Verona. They will have to win this match if they want to stay at the top of the table.

duke
Their defense is still quite good when they focus on defense and this could be troublesome for Milan.
In this match, Milan are definitely favorites to win especially they will play at the San Siro which will definitely be filled with lots of fans from Milan but don't make this a benchmark and underestimate Verona in the match later because if something like that happens there could be a surprise that happens later.

Empoli manager Paolo Zanetti has been sacked after the huge loss against Roma. I think this was the right call for the team. Because so far they haven't collected any points and they have conceded 12 goals while scoring 0. This is just the worst kind of a start you can make honestly. They should be able to do better to stay away from the relegation zone again.
Aside from that Inter are the only team without point loss so far. They are really striking in the Serie A this season. However they struggled too much against Real Sociedad in the Champions League last night. They should consider themselves lucky for scoring the equalizer in the last minutes.
Italian participation in this round of Champions League wasn't successful anyway, maybe only for Napoli which won their game, also in the last minutes of the game.Aside from that Inter are the only team without point loss so far. They are really striking in the Serie A this season. However they struggled too much against Real Sociedad in the Champions League last night. They should consider themselves lucky for scoring the equalizer in the last minutes.
Inter got a draw vs Real Sociedad, Milan got a draw also but vs Newcastle making things more interesting inside the groups.
By the way even Lazio was able to bring a draw from an away game by the header of the goalkeeper.
Paolo Zanetti is the first coach he got fired in Serie A and I think the good performance we saw from Mourinho was the reason for us to see this coach getting fired.
Now Empoli should be trying with Aurelio Andreazzoli to get better results in the next games however, even Aurelio Andreazzoli doesn't have a good career to help this team.
We can say that the probability of Roma winning the Scudetto is low, but if it wasn't for Mourinho, the club would be worse off, I think that's for sure. Mourinho has now taken the team to the best level and continues to do so. They have a cup they won and a final they played in Europe. I hope we will watch a better Rome in the coming years.
From the several facts you mentioned, it is very clear that the Roma team started to look better when coached by Mourinho, but Roma didn't have more star players or players who were very talented so there were always difficulties after fighting hard against their rivals. I am sure that this season the Roma team will not be worse in Serie A even though currently they are still in a poor ranking because Roma started this season not so well.I don't wanna comment regarding the star players of roma caused by in my understanding if any players who played in the one of top leagues in the world can be considered as star players. Lukaku, dybala and many more have ever played in the big scale club.
Are not they star players as well? Did you only think if any team should have someone who has the big name as cristiano ronaldo or lionel messi? Star player is the only factor who will help the club in winning against its opponent.
In fact, the chemistry of club means a lot in this case.
Of course, they had a worse start than last year, but when it comes to Roma and Mourinho, I think they can overcome everything. Roma is a strong team and I have full faith that they will play better matches to advance to an important position in Serie A. He could not start the season as he wanted in Napoli, but we should not talk about the continuation of the season right now.
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.
sinp
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.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.

Today they will face Sheriff Tiraspol in an away game. Sheriff aren't that good this season and Roma should win.
Roma has changed in a good way in this season they had more power this time.
The Roma we saw against Empoli was really amazing and unlike the last season, they had a much better performance and better forwards. In the last season, Dybala was the only option for Muriniho and obviously, he couldn't find any alternative players for Dybala, but this time gets hired Lukaku and Azmoun who can help them in the next Serie A games and make this team a scary openment for other teams.

The last team in the points table is Empoli. And they have lost all four matches. Roma team won this match despite not being in good form. It was definitely predicted that Roma would win against Empoli. But the fact is that Roma scored 7 goals in this match. Every player in Roma's attack played well. And if Roma's attacking players are back in form then Roma are likely to perform well in the upcoming matches as well. Mourinho's match strategy is good enough. If the players can adapt themselves well to Mourinho's match strategy, Roma's performance will continue.
