We travel away to Roma this Saturday in our last mach of the first half of the season. We currently sit 7th and there are nonstop rumours swirling about the future of the coach and the players. With the mood around the club being what it is, I think that our only hope is for Roma to pull a Roma in this match. Unfortunately though, I heard that Salah may be fit and I can only imagine what Gervinho and Salah could do to our defense.
On another note, we can't really be shocked at our standing in the league table. We are currently behind Inter, Fiorentina, Napoli, Juventus, Roma, Sassuolo, all of which bar Sassuolo have better squads than we do. This was something that myself and others highlighted during the summer transfer window as it was clear that we had NOT done enough to reach a top 3 spot. I have already resigned myself to another season without Champions League football. Even Europa league would require us to have a dramatic turn around AND for one or two other teams to severely drop off the pace. I expect more of the same unless some miracle occurs during the winter transfer market.

Siamo a posto cosi.
