Raise your hand if you want to bet Rome first in the standings in the November break. Maybe none or very little. Jobs from Gasperini it was there for everyone to see and his start was also a record for him. I 24 points in 11 daysin his career he just did very well season 2022/2023. Now we expect some progress in January to continue to fuel that dream.
THE POSITIVE SIDE
The summit made everyone smile and lots of praise was given to them Gasperini who left his comfort zone and adapted to a different group of players than the one he had in Bergamo. He would have liked another centre-forward and attacking winger, but the work done with these players has been outstanding. And the alchemy that is created is an added value. There was little controversy from those who played less and everyone was willing to help the team. Players who spend the summer with a suitcase in hand love it Hermoso And pilgrim now they are the cornerstone of the team. Then there is the defensive phase which is Roma’s strength. Only conceded 5 goals in the first 11 matches, the best defense in the 5 major European leagues with Arsenal. And finally Gasp’s experiment: Wesley left, Dybala wrong nine e Cristante attacking midfielder.
All the incredible solutions so far have Roma looking down on everyone, including Inter.
NEGATIVE SIDE
What’s shiny is not now. Roma are at the top, but there is a problem. One of them, of course, concerns the attack. Dovbyk And Ferguson they scored very little and the goals scored in the championship were 12. The Giallorossi must improve in the goal scoring phase to avoid defeats like against Inter and Milan. In both matches, Roma performed a lot but failed to equalize. Another negative is the large number of injuries: good 13 from the start of the season they became 14 if we add the first game missed by Pellegrini who had to recover from the injury he suffered last year. Muscle issues further weaken the offensive package he currently has on the outside Dybala, Palace gardens, Ferguson And Dovbyk. There is still a lot of work to be done, but it is in very good condition.
