Roma-Atalanta 2-0

Roma played in front of an almost empty stadium again, with the lowest ticket sales in years. We had to manage without Totti, De Rossi, Baptista, Juan, Cassetti, Tonnetto and Pizarro. Will we very play our fist 11?! We played quite well in the first half, and just as me and my friends said Panucci should be our striker he scored! He is capocanoniere for Roma so far this season, which is insane for a defender. As for my friend Vucinic who should be scoring lots of goals for us… well he finally scored his first goal of the season.....why we keep him I don’t know... Menez went off to applause again and even Riise got a huge cheer after his shot on goal never the end of the match. Cicihno played well again and it was great to see Mexes back in the centre of our defence. Spalletti will have a tough time deciding what to when Juan is back to full fitness. How can he leave Panucci, our main goal scorer on the bench. “Vogliamo undici Panucci” (we want 11 Panucci’s) sang the Curva Sud. He gives everything, he’s a really fighter and shouldn’t be on the bench. Brighi is also impressing this year, since being given chance to start the last few games due to all the injuries.

Tomorrow we have Bordeux fuori casa – a must win match. We still have an injury crisis and they are now saying that it is the pitch at Trigoria that is causing so many injuries. With so many injuries occurring in training this could be right.

Totti etc wont be back until Roma-Inter (Cassetti even later) in a few weeks time. Baptista will be on the bench tomorrow and Juan possibly for Siena on Sunday but if they play they will have to answer their call up for the National team, which Roma don't want, so they might not play. De Rossi will be back for the match tomorrow night and we have no choice but to win... I’m worried!
