In fact you're right, I'd rather see Camoranesi come in for him and swap sides with Marchionni, or Giovinco. Del Piero was rested on Wednesday so I'm less concerned about him.

How about the 36 year-old Nedved getting a rest? Huh? Or the soon to be 34 year-old Del Piero? Why not rest those guys? “I’d like to see Iaquinta and Camoranesi come on around 65′ to relieve Amauri and Marchionni who have both been playing too much recently.”

Everyone wants to sack Rome

Rome players do not want Spalleti to go – but they’re the ones kicking him out.

Just because he is playing for Roma doe s not make him the best defender in Serie A, especially this year. If anything is an advantage for us, it is that we did not play on wed. Alessio,

Mexes on his day can be great, but he can also be disastrous, whether with sheer poor defending or stupidly getting himself sent off. To be a great you need consistency, and he doesn't have it.

He can't play for the French National team. And don't tell me he's too young. Tell me how old Benzema is first. He seems to fold in a big game, see also, Man United 7-1 Roma. Did he play in Inter 4-1 Roma last year? He is getting a reputation as a hothead. Examples are too numerous to list. Does he have speed? Does he have positioning? I don't see either. I will concede that he's good in the air. But so is Loria and Riise. And they both suck. If he's so great, and considering the open attack that Roma is supposed to have, we could expect Roma to be the best defensive team, too right? Has Roma ever been the least scored on team since Mexes has been there? This summer I had a conversation with Bashar on the Roma board that the new signings weren't going to help Roma's biggest weakness-- defense. Will Juventus be the third team in a row to exploit what everyone seems to finally have figured out? I would love for someone to point out how exactly Mexes is such a great player.
