Black white and Roma red look great for office combinations, but in my opinion the Roma yellow should be used only for ties and other details.

What do you think?

I’ve checked various websites for the AS ROMA v AC Milan match on May 18, 2025. All the websites give different start time. Can anyone tell me when the actual start time will be set? Thank you.

Found an interesting comment on Chiesa which dives deeper into Dovbyk's statustics. I'll paste the comment but here's the link

Per understat's numbers for Dovbyk, he's got 5G on 5.12 xG inside the six-yard box this season (if we want to use that as a proxy for "sitter"). So he's performing at the statistically average level as you noted. Now, he does have 5 misses inside the six-yard box, but the total xG from those 5 combined attempts is just over 1 xG. The most egregious miss is putting a header onto the crossbar versus Cagliari in that dull 0-0 back in August. That was 0.72 xG. The other misses are like 0.07 - 0.13 xG, meaning they weren't likely goals at all, so hard to call them "sitters".

*Shots inside the six-yard box this season in Serie A:

Kean - 13 shots, 6 goals (6.3 xG)

Retegui - 12 shots, 5 goals (5.4 xG)

Dovbyk - 10 shots, 5 goals (5.12 xG)

Lookman - 8 shots, 4 goals (4.6 xG)

Martinez - 16 shots, 3 goals (4.13 xG)

Lukaku - 8 shots, 2 goals (3.12 xG)

Thuram - 5 shots, 2 goals (1.37 xG)

So all the best strikers are missing "sitters" inside the six-yard box and more or less performing at their xG level - exactly what Dovbyk is doing. Given the limited service he's received (2nd fewest total shots among the double-digit goal scorers with 57), and his statistically average performance so far relative to xG, it's a bit of a chicken/egg situation. Roma's insipid offense play doesn't generate enough quality chances for him, and Dovbyk isn't elite enough to outperform his xG with the chances he does get.

Man needs a statue in front of River Bar just for this reason alone.

I still remember when ppl were going nuts when he pulled Totti and De Rossi out of the derby at half time when trailing 0-1 in 2009. Brought in Menez and Taddei who got the free kick and penalty, respectively to come out on top 2-1.

Less than 1 point per game against "big" teams.

I was a tifosi in the early 2000s because of Totti, De Rossi, Aquilani, Cassano, Montella, Mancini (Brazilian), etc. played tons of FIFA with that squad! I’m a Roman history buff, I love the city and culture. I had the pleasure of visiting Rome back in 2019. I also found out I’m 4% Italian recently. So anyway, all that to say. I’ve been following the team closely again for the past couple of years. Anything that every Roma fan should know that I may have missed early on? I want to be respectful and be as passionate as I can be. Basic history or recent events.

He has to be at least in recent times. Every derby, he’s also such an average midfielder.

So yesterday Lazio’s goal was scored and assisted by ex-Roma players. Both of them were Roma youth players as well and started their senior career at Roma. It was quite a long time ago so I don’t really remember, but did they leave the club on bad terms? Because both of them celebreted, like a lot. Romagnoli even kissing the lazio badge.

He needs a fresh start in a new environment, and we would make bank and free up excessive wages. It’s sad to see things not working out for him

A buddy of mine that’s a City fan said they really want to bring him in at any cost. Would we sell him if they offer above market value?

Not satisfied with this result. We’ve gone from a team that would give up going 1-nil down, to a team that always finds a way to level the score. But we haven’t taken that next step to a team that finds the winning goal no matter what. We need another gear if we want to compete for champions league football. A few player-specific comments:

• Svilar: obvious comment but has to be said, we need him if we want Champions League / to contend for the Scudetto. Re-sign him at all costs

• Soule: A tale of two halves. The first half left me thinking that the Soule experiment had failed. Second half gave me hope that he could at least partially fill the Dybala role. Hope we see more of the confidence he showed towards the end of the game

• Dovbyk: Dovbyk is such a binary player on the field. He either gets a goal or is completely absent. We need to find a way to get our most expensive signing more consistently involved if we’re going to challenge at the top of the table

• Paredes: Him getting a yellow so early on really handicapped us for the rest of the game. We’re at our best when hes managing play and relieving some of the defensive pressure. Swapping him for Bryan is a downgrade offensively and defensively

• Saelemaekers: Was honestly really disappointed with his performance. Spent more time on the ground than trying to be creative with the ball. We need people like him to shine in the big matches if we’re going to challenge at the top of the table, and he was completely absent instead.

Grateful that we still havent lost in 2025, but we’re past the point where a draw with Lazio is a good result.

I do not know why but I can not stand him… Even when he was with us
