I warriors, brigate rosanero, siamo forti e vinceremo!

Preview

Do I have to do this? Because I really don’t want to. Everything about this game has got ‘Disaster’ over it. Quality + reborn + good win against Fiorentina versus mediocrity + huge slump + 1/6 against newly promoted teams. Zenga took the blame for last week’s disaster, but don’t expect many changes. The Human Error in central defense is still there, the only thing that will have changed is the midfield. Pastore and Bertolo are being ‘punished’ for sucking against Parma, Nocerino seems to be tired and Cavani has muscular problems. Enter Migliaccio (w00t!), Simplicio (oh-oh!), Bresciano (What.The.Fuck.) and Budan.

It’s not going to be pretty. Zenga already feels the shit being somewhere close to being dropped on the fan. He’s practically sucking Roma’s dicks in his recent interviews:
“Roma are fortunate enough to play in the Europa League, so when there are these midweek rounds they find it normal to have peaks during the game that allow them to win.They have no weak points, as this is a team with great players like Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi, David Pizarro, Mirko Vucinic and of course their Coach Claudio Ranieri.”
Translation: “I’m pretty sure we’re gonna lose today, so it’s time for me to make sure Zampa knows Roma are a good team and it won’t be all my fault.” Whatever happens tonight, this is not my coach.

Squad Status

Palermo

Same shit, different day: Liverani and Tedesco out, Cavani as well with a muscular problem. Miggs returns, Nocerino’s tired.

Lots of changes in midfield, which ones will only be certain by the start of the game.

Roma

Don’t care.

Categorical Matchup

Sketchybrow vs. You Sound Brazilian: Push. Sucker v Sucker. Howlers could decide the game.

Zenga’s Mancrush vs. Reject Heaven: Push. Bovo’s hurting us, but luckily the things on the other side aren’t much better. Statistically, we’re better. In reality we’ll have to see.

We’re Not So Sure Who To Play vs. Stronghold: Roma. De Rossi is a beast, our midfield doesn’t even reach his knees when combined.

Biggie Smalls v. We Hate You! Love You! Hate You!: Roma. No chance guys. Only three goals in 4 games, that’s a relegation number.

Last Five Games

Palermo: WLDL
Roma: LLWW

Final Analysis

D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. Learn how to spell it, you’ll see what it means later tonight.

Prediction

1-3.

MOTM:

Some titsucker.
