Saying that Vucinic needs to work on his headers, and his finishing in general, is the understatement of the century. Why does he only like to score the hard goals? he can perfectly chip a ball with his head from an angled position with Nesta covering him while running, but he can’t head a cross, with no pressure, in the back of the net?

And he missed by so, so much. Spalletti needs to do something about this. Vucinic is a huge talent, you can tell, but his finishing needs to improve drastically, or else Roma will never be able to finish off their plays.

And is it just me, or is Tonetto playing relatively poorly lately (over the last couple of months)? I’m not talking about the pace as much as his crosses… really terrible some of them. I’d say he’s not responding to age as well as Panucci, but one’s ability to cross isn’t affected this much, and so abruptly, by age, is it?

Wow
That run + goal from Vuci reminded me of Kaka’s 1st goal at Old Trafford for speed and accuracy.

Run Vuci…Run!!!

One last thing: That SerieAtv is quality. $7.95, and even had the Coppa today. Sure it ain’t free but so what, i you’re like me and have many work restrictions it’s a great offer. for only $7.95 rather then spend $10 on shit from Jimmy John’s, just pack a lunch and it’s like watching for free.

Relatively poor highlights, but show both goals, with commentary on the game: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7647404183819765100&q=sampdoria+roma&total=572&start=0&num=10&so=1&type=search&plindex=0

Anybody know if Andreolli could play next week? Wasn’t his last injury nothing serious, or a flu, or something?

Though, of course, while you’re wearing a Roma jersey, you can bleed to death from a papercut.

Very, very true, Traian. Egregious oversight on my part.

DeG,

1) Ditto.
2) Ditto.
3) Half-ditto. Suazo wouldn’t have made up for the absence of Taddei and Perrotta, with the presence of Big Game Chivu. But yeah, he’d have helped.

…and one typo, Chris: “I like Bianchi, but he was never a “must buy”. Past tense for like is LIKED. NP.

Chris saved the best one for last:
“So we’re now accepting applications for Roma’s central defense…(Go away, Kuffour)”
I am still laughing…
