roma vs MILAN

I blame this draw on borri for not passing the ball to open hunter

H11 you let me down with that header man. We played better than Roma. Ahhhhhh im pissed. But its better than a loss. Now i hope inter choke and lose tomorrow

Overall nice display for the team. Borriello should have got us 3 points if he chose to pass to Huntelaar... Instead he went for glory. And oh boy, don't we have the BEST crosses? 9 out of 10 times they are off the striker range. Anyway, let's focus on the next game.

Missed that one, i got to catch that on HL. And please Bonera needs to be benched. What was with the crosses and passes?

Flamini couldnt perform in the second half like he did in first...same goes for Bonera...

Flamini should do more...

Silva and Nesta was rock solid like always...

Ambro and Pirlo did well entire 90 mins...

Ronaldinho improved in the second half yet im not happy with his perfonmance at all...

Borriello and Huntelaar...im angry at them because of his draw...they missed many clear chances and we should have won this game easily 3-0 or more...Remember his last miss in the last mins of the game...inzaghi passed his best...should consider retirement...

Above all...0-0 is a loss to me...1 point doesnt please me...we have to win these kind of games if we want to win the scudetto...

Wow, what a match. What does it mean now? Title race is over??? B22, R80 & H11 should have scored their chances, but i blame Leonardo's substitutions (especially Flamini) for this draw. Kind of neutral feelings Without Flamini, the team changes dramatically.

Im not mad at the flaminii change Mz, i think he might of got his second yellow and changed the game big time..


Id like to see the b22 not passing to h11 and h11 missing the header to see if he just got scared of the foot hitting him or he just made a mistake

Really frustrating result today as we were great but lacked the end product. Borriello more than anyone was guilty of missing chances, but ultimately pretty much all of our threatening players missed golden chances.

The first half started with Roma dominating. However, we soon gained control of the game and the gulf in quality between the 2 sides started to show. However, we didn't create enough solid chances and we missed the few that we did create.

The second half was even more dominant. Our midfield was all over Roma and we created god knows how many chances. Roma started getting into the match as we got a little tired, but ultimately we were still the better side. Our failure to convert chances was what prevented us from taking 3 points. I can only hope our finishing is better on Wednesday.

Players...

Abbiati - Great saves early on but as the match went on had less challenging work to do
Bonera - Solid in defence and timed his runs well. However, his crossing was very poor
Nesta - Superb
Thiago - Superb
Antonini - Great return and it doesn't look like his time out has affected him too much. Should be good for Wednesday
Flamini - Brilliant. Despite a couple of reckless challenges he was all over the right side and completely destroyed Roma's midfield
Pirlo - Excellent game, he was dominating the game with some good passing and his ability on the ball
Ambro - Very solid and offered an option going forward
Dinho - Marked out early on but as the game opened up he got more involved. Didn't make the difference today though. One thing I've noticed is his form seems to be affected when Pato's not in the side, though he was still good today
Huntelaar - Tried hard and though not involved as Borriello he had a couple of great chances and failed to convert
Borriello - Really worked hard and stretched the Roma defence. If only his finishing was better
Pippo - Didn't really add much to the game
Beckham - We tried to utilize his crossing and it almost paid off with Hunter coming close
Abate - came on for the returning Antonini. He did what he had to while on

I was disappointed with the result but not the performance. I had questioned how Borriello and Huntelaar together would work, but Leo was really clever in his utilization of Flamini down the right and showed great tactical knowledge. Quite frankly the only problem I had with our performance was we didn't take our chances, otherwise we would have won comfortably. As the season wears on it seems that we need a striker who will be more of a guarantee in taking his chances than Borriello.

Either way, we've lost a chance to gain good ground on Inter, but I won't be surprised if Genoa beat them this weekend, so it could still be a point gained in the title race.

Now we look to Wednesday, with Borriello and Hunter bringing their scoring boots.

becks for flamni wasnt bad. becks had some great crosses.

and IMO it was difficult for borriello to reach huntelaar, though his shot could've been better!

Seriously? What more could he do? He ran like there's no tomorrow, he was a rock in the midfield and he completely dominated Riise through the match. Before he went off I'd argue he was our best player.

I hope Flamini's display tonight makes him a first choice above Rino, he had it all tonight tackling,a pass when he had to, tireless running, we know he can shoot. what a player!

I dont know, I was very pleased with the way Flamini was moving forward and adding to the attack. Beckham provided only one good cross if I can remember, which R80 should have scored.

H11 should have scored, kind of let down for me, but over all i am happy with his effort, scpecially his curling shot in the first half was impressive.

B22 had a shocking miss. Played well over all, but his decison to go for the goal instead of pass was a real bad one.

Over all kind of 50-50 feelings for this draw. Maybe Roma will beat Inter next time they meet.

improve his continuity in entire 90 mins...same goes for Bonera...

i might get flamed for saying this but i think we should have played Pato, look at it this way, we drew tonight so we are 3 but potentially 6 points behind Inter if they win, then we have to Play at OT which i dont think we can get the result we need so then assuming we lose and go out of the CL, we killed the Serie A chances and basically gave Inter the title and cant win the CL, so what can we win?

I'm disappointed, but proud of the team. Man of the match: Pirlo, by far. Best game of the season for him. Then Thiago Silva, Flamini and Nesta. Antonini did well too.

I have a feeling this draw will serve us well at Old Trafford (more anger). We should have won, obviously, but sometimes you just don't get lucky. At least we didn't lose...
