it's difficult to blame Jose Mourinho, Roma doesn't have a very strong team but he still managed to take them to the conference league final and win it and the following year take them to the Europa League final, unfortunately losing it but without deserving, I don't think a different coach was able to match him, this year despite the signings made Roma are not playing well and I don't think it's Mourinho's fault, it's probably a physical fitness problem. For me Mourinho remains one of the best coaches in business, he has a very respectable list of achievements and is constantly criticized, then perhaps Pioli is praised for having won a championship in his entire career

Inter must be really happy to have got rid of Andre Onana now.    I mean of course his performance was really impressive back at Inter. He was one of the admired goalkeepers last season as he made so many saves. This was why they didn't want to let him go for a cheap price and Manchester United offered 50+ million euros to sign him.

But here we are. This isn't the first time he is making such mistakes though. His past has such examples but Inter were really lucky unlike that.

Maybe Onana was going to play just like now for Inter if he stayed for this season also. But instead of that Inter have Yann Sommer now who is doing a pretty good work.

Indeed, Mourinho has a distinctive character but I think character alone is not enough to make a team's performance better. Because, at this moment, what AS Roma needs is improved performance and stable performance, at least to remain good throughout the season, and does not require a unique character that only the coach has. Therefore, I think at this moment it would be better for AS Roma to start looking for a replacement for Mourinho and even though AS Roma had to pay a high price to appoint Antonio Conte as coach I don't think it is a problem either. Because maybe, with Antonio Conte, AS Roma could become better and be able to compete more strongly in the top four, of course.

come on, what you say seems a bit exaggerated to me, in the end Jose Mourinho is a good coach, he has a particular and difficult character but his strategies are not that wrong!

And then he brought in Lukaku, we must never forget this! Lukaku going to Roma to score much goals

I don't agree, and I'll also explain why I think so
- Mourinho, before him Roma did well (see position in the Serie A table) luckily they won a cup, second year they didn't
- Conte, with Inter the only thing he did was complain about players who were always missing, he always blamed others, now what does he do?

I can give many examples of serious people who don't cry and who work seriously

@babo Mourinho and Conte are perfectionists and serial winner’s and if they’re not happy then they won’t sugar coat it they’ll openly say about their unhappiness and that’s what I like about these two that they openly speak their mind and often get the job done. Lastly if Mourinho wants to stay back and help then the club should back him because he’s improved Roma a lot and few bad matches doesn’t mean that he’s not the right coach for them and thus I hope that Roma will allow him some more time to turn things around at the club.

I'm one hundred percent sure what you say, he refused a contract like that and I don't even understand why if they paid him well
of course now he's getting angry because they say he's the problem (but whatever) in the end he's still a crybaby coach like Antonio Conte

this year it will be a very balanced Serie A championship and I have been saying it for a few weeks now, Inter and Milan have started very well and if they continue like this for much longer, they will be the main contenders for the title of champion of Italy, Napoli he is slowly fitting into his new coach's schemes and will most likely fight until the end to defend the title won last year, Juventus despite the points in the standings I don't see them as a real contender for the title but the absence from the European cups it could benefit them.

Roma badly, very badly, I think they will aim for fourth place at most, Lazio unrecognizable.

making estimates I believe that the fight will be between Inter, Milan and Napoli for the title, Juventus Roma and Lazio for a place in the Champions League

It seems that this season the competition will be much more intense than last season, this is because looking at the table, 7 games were played of which Inter and Milan managed to win 6 games, with this the two teams have 18 points, but the other teams are not very far from Milan and Inter, meaning that at least until this round the competition is very strong and difficult to predict which team will be champion, adding that even the top teams when they play against a small team, They have difficulty winning the game, which makes the league even more interesting this season, perhaps because it is the beginning of the season that we are seeing this, but looking at the squad of all teams, their starting 11 are the same starting 11 as last season. which made it difficult for them to beat very weak opponents in certain rounds, so I don't see the scenario of us seeing a team with many points ahead of the other teams, at least for now we won't see that. It may change when the transfer window opens. Something interesting is that Roma managed to win after a long time, the fans and the press couldn't stop criticizing it. but with this victory, at least they will be quiet for a while

It is still very early for Roma now of course. The point gap with the 4th place is only 6 points which isn't impossible to close in the end. It is all up to starting a consistent run. Maybe the victory obtained against Frosinone would be the starting point. I'm pretty sure that the board expect this team to make it to the Champions League this time.

Let's say they couldn't finish the Serie A in top 4 then they still have a second chance for the Champions League. That is winning the Europa League title. It isn't an easy task to perform maybe but not impossible either. They were one of the finalists last season you know. Mourinho sometimes talks about that finale over and over again too. If they make it there again then I feel like they can finally achieve the title.

At least, I have also said last season that AS Roma will still be difficult to have a stable and consistent performance even though AS Roma has Mourinho as coach. Because after all, in the previous two seasons also regarding the performance and results that AS Roma had in Serie A, basically Mourinho only managed to make AS Roma good at the beginning of the season and failed to maintain it. So yes, at least do not be surprised if in this third season Mourinho really failed from the start of the season and of course, it would be very worrying if Mourinho was unable to restore AS Roma to a better form this season.

It is certain that he refused a big contract as he says, certainly in Saudi Arabia. They are buying everything, see Ronaldo, Mancini and others.
So I am sure thats what he was referring to when he says the problem isnt him. Now he has Lukaku scoring goals, so he can do something.
I think he have a plan.

No, absolutely not, the other teams also play their dirty game, but maybe, just maybe, they don't violate some fundamental rules or at least they don't do them improperly. and this also happens in the other European leagues, not just in Italy. Unfortunately, however, due to the high value of players these days, teams are almost forced to inflate the prices of their cards. practical example for me Tonali is not worth 80 million euros, not because the player is not strong but because the valuation is completely exaggerated. because if Tonali is worth 80 million Barella should be worth at least 120 and instead his real market value is around 55 million. Here it is just an example but it makes you understand how the market works, the rich leagues can afford to waste money, the poor leagues only sell. At this rate, Serie A is destined for total decline

all football is extremely sick and all teams are hungry for money
they do nothing but look for opportunities to make money in one way or another, until a generational change occurs and kids watch other sports, then we will laugh badly

You think that the other teams are less, they are all smart because they spend rivers of money in stupid ways
the players simply cost too much, too many millions that you cant get

an example Christiano Ronaldo, for Juventus it was a commercial operation to sell t-shirts and gadgets

I was taking a look at today's bets for Serie A, today's matches aren't easy, but I think I'll make this bet. Roma win and Juventus win. What do you think? the total odds would be 4.40 the stakes played and that's not bad

not only should they be arrested but also be tougher against companies that work in a deceptive way, Juventus is a repeat offender in this case! the only way to fix a company that has made its fortune from deception should be removed from all competitions. last year there was talk of very heavy punishments but in the end they only gave him a fine of a few thousand euros, they certainly didn't do him all this harm, in fact UEFA had to intervene, condemning them to exclusion from European cups for a year. This is Italian justice unfortunately

Well, with Juve, it's something that demoralizes anyone. It's difficult to be in the hands of a team that practically bans you for everything, and it makes you angry at the same time. I think that if a team does things wrong, but their executives and owners, because they should be the ones who really give them the ban, they are fine, they don't care that they only play in Serie A and only there, they are not allowed to play under any circumstances in any high-level competition. level like Europa League, nor UCL if they were classified, those things are not the ones that are correct, that's why I say in soccer there are many failures, but failures at the policy level, of those that are mastered in FIFA, even for There is a lot of corruption, that's why these things should be completely eliminated, why don't those who actually cheat get arrested? Those are the flaws, now with respect to Napoli, Napoli partly came in first place last season for the simple fact that they took away 14 points from the Ajuve that were very decisive in this competition, so now, after All of this is so that Napoli can get the upper hand and be able to maintain that level, otherwise we would be talking about players who are not players and who still cannot defend the title.

It seems to me that I really like Napoli's performance in Serie A and in the UCL, although they could have gone further, so in this order of ideas I believe that it is a very long and strong path that they have to face in order to have good results, at the UCL they can do great things, I could think that they can do better things, of course, that's what I think, but if we see things from another point of view, we could think that maybe Naopoli It may be less consistent, which is why they sold some players, and that could have unbalanced the integrability that existed in the beginning, since things sometimes vary according to what we can see.

Allegri: ‘Juventus from Scudetto contenders to flops’

I really don't know what Mourinho is planning to find a solution to this look of Roma so far. I would have never waited for Roma to lose to Genoa by a score like 4-1. What happened here? Genoa weren't even one of the in-form teams in the league. If they were then at least there would have been a reason for this.

But here we are. Roma can't even beat way weaker teams and they even lose by an embarrassing score. Unfortunately Lukaku and Dybala couldn't do much in this match.

Even if one of them played better I wouldn't have still waited for Roma to get one point. Their defending was terrible.
