Wait did they lay hands on morata for him to recover so quickly ... I thought my eyes were deceiving me :scared:

Hopefully he wasn't rushed back too early. The team can't afford more injuries.

IMO, Roma the better side, CFC arguably more clinical.

Not feeling Conte's stubborn persistence with building out of the back. Teams are figuring out that they have to press the back 3 to prevent build up play during GKs.. Have to switch it up on the GKs. You have Luiz, Alonso, Morata, Bakayoko that can be pushed further up field to contest GKs. If you don't win the aerial challenge, press Roma in that middle 3rd to force turnover. Current build up play is just not working. it is putting the defense under pressure.

Need to also do a better job holding possession in midfield.

Roma should have done everything to have bought Szcz ... their goalie stinks

Agree 100%!

We need to switch to winning the second ball. Plus Morata's hold up play is excellent.

Pique tried to steal a goal and got a red card instead.

In fairness, it was a fantastic volley by Dzeko

Not surprised by the equalizer. It was coming. Not sure what Conte is thinking. He has been out coached in this game IMO.
If you going to go with 2 in MF, then take off Cesc.
