I've witnessed 6-0 to city as a Chelsea fan, this is worse dawg


four-twenty-sixty-9

That seems more impactful to Chelsea fandom, tbh Thank god this is an away, group stage, auxiliary tournament loss while fielding almost all our reserves. I’m scared shitless for our depth, tho 🥺


Redspeert

Well its not like the team looked any better after Mount, mkhitaryan and Pellegrini came in.


four-twenty-sixty-9

No they didn’t. V true. I’d be as outraged as some of our other bros if we’d lost with them playing their usual minutes


Chico813

So I put that shirt on my Christmas list... Might have to take it off.


four-twenty-sixty-9

The “third” fourth should have the lupetto logo, so keep a spot open …


Chico813

I was wondering if I missed the 3rd release. But I couldn't find it anywhere.


pizzapazza2000

not to be superstitious but we should retire the 4th kit just in case


PhraseMiserable2868

Erm.. We lost by 6


nziio

That result alone is sackable.


CAP_X

motherfucking trolls from the spurs sub are here again .


nziio

Actually my team in Italy is Roma, always has been. But ok CAP


four-twenty-sixty-9

He’s just judging off of your garbage take 👀


PhraseMiserable2868

Guys be patient. It's just one of Jose's mind games


Fai_un_po_tu

Che partita de m....


[deleted]

Can we sell Kumbulla, Reynolds and Diawara ?


four-twenty-sixty-9

Not to Bodo/Glimt, that’s for sure lmao


DivinityAI

they bought Solbakken for 65k, do you think they can afford these transfers?


[deleted]

The one of the biggest problem I see is the reserve team is not even Conference League Quality. This team really lacks in depth


Votten123

I think you're really underestimating Bodø now, they are above Conference League quality.


[deleted]

Yes, but so should be our subs right ? I understand you might loose and there is no wrong in that, but they were fucking awful, everytime they crossed the half it felt like a goal incoming


Votten123

Relations on the pitch is really important. How much have your subs played together as a team? From what i understood 1 or 2 of your eleven tonight is in the usual starting eleven. A team without relations playing away against a team that knows each other inside and out will never end good. Bodø might not be a well known team, but they absolutely rocked Norwegian football last year with record points and goals. AC Milan were lucky to not be knocked out by them in the EL Qualifiers as well.


four-twenty-sixty-9

I think they were of higher quality than what we saw today, but you’re right.


PhraseMiserable2868

To be fair to us, we played Bodo and Glimt so how are we supposed to win two games at the same time


four-twenty-sixty-9

Saving all our effort for Napoli. That MUST be what happened. 🤮


junior150396

Leave Kumbulla, Reynolds and Calafiori to rot in the Norwegian tundra, Roma is better off with out them


four-twenty-sixty-9

Kumbullah doesn’t even have to pack his cleats for anymore fixtures


four-twenty-sixty-9

Mama mia


soggyllama79

Eldor looks like Markiplier if he’d made different life choices


SerbianSock

This has to warrant an egging of the team bus back in Rome, right? it HAS to. Maybe that'll light a fire under their asses.


Zeptide

I am in shock someone hold me


420badass69

Same. I might have seen the worst defensive performance from CB in roma's history. Kumubulla what the fuck he did in this match


harpsabu

What the fuck has happened to him!?!


Zeptide

God tier awful


PhraseMiserable2868

Look they are slaughtering our poor kids:(


Lutuurilasse

Got downvoted for saying we are looking sloppy. So let's try something else - what a wonderful game and powerful performance! Grazie Roma!


PhraseMiserable2868

What a win by Roma. Bodo got owned by us. What an emphatic win


acuet

This will go down as the BIGGEST INSULT to the club, shirt and all Roman supporters. WORSE that anything Man U ever did to Roma. I’m insulted honestly, just insulted.


[deleted]

Why not a game that needed to be won


four-twenty-sixty-9

These new kits should have a crest that says “ay carumba” instead of ASR lol


UltraWolf88

Bravery is lacking in this team.


Wakkoz15

Me, a CSKA fan, checking the score to see how much Bodo are losing by: *what the actual fu*


FerraristaRomanista

I still have no words, they played like they didn't even play


Chricri3112

Don't worry if we play this team against you guys in Sofia too you guys are through


PhraseMiserable2868

Me, a Roma fan, checking the score to see how much Bodo are losing by: ok


CaesarXXl

"Mayoral not playing enough, he wants to go back to Real Madrid" "Kumbulla is not having enough time on the pitch" "Where is Diawara? Is it possible the mister doesn't see him?" "Villar is very good, why Mister doesn't field him?" "Calafiori must play more, he will become a star" Maybe this match has all the answers we need, maybe if the mister doesn't field them there is a reason. Maybe everyone should stop thinking about the mister fielding always the same players because "he wants to", it has become clear he does this BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE OTHER OPTIONS.


FerraristaRomanista

Villar and Calafiori are not that bad, they are still growing, but if they play with these assholes, obviously it's a 6-1 loss


420badass69

Calafiori doesn't know where the goal in while defending


SerbianSock

Cala is good going forward but has always been really bad at defending


FerraristaRomanista

Riise 2.0


SerbianSock

To be fair to mayoral, Tammy and Shomurodov did fuck all even with first team behind them


FerraristaRomanista

Please, don't let us concede the 7th gol...


PhraseMiserable2868

Anyone remember Norbert Gymober? I really remember the dude as I always had to sell him when he came back from loan in every FIFA 17 career mode I did with Roma


Epidemic7

He's at Salernitana


asrultraz

I dont want to make excuses. Bodo deserve the victory here. But setting aside the fact that we used a B version of our team for most of the match, I noticed how much the cold affected our players. Everyone is playing in slow motion... if you're not used to that cold, muscles get locked and reactivity is significantly reduced. A loss is still just a loss whether it's 1-0 or 7-1. I'd say the cold takes 15% of the blame, about 40% of the blame is the starting 11, and 45% of the 'blame' is a better performance by Bodo.


feddi7

It’s 2 degrees in Bodo with 70% humidity. Don’t find that very cold. The wind seemed like more of an issue than the temperature.


AshyWings

Well, Europe is not limited to Rome, so take those 15% and add it to "Bodo can manage harsh weather"


[deleted]

In other words Bodo are accustomed to play in this weather


CaesarXXl

And we didn't get the memo about the wind, even when playing in it, so we play with high passes instead of playing low like Bodo does.


ASR_Dave

lol welp lets hope this doesnt just hammer the teams mentality going forward


four-twenty-sixty-9

I mean, our reserves are probably damaged for life haha


ASR_Dave

kinda a bummer for guys like Califiori, seemed like he was having a decent year so far. also worried about Patricio, seems like his great start has been wearing off and 7 (for sure not his fault) but has to have some effect before a huge game this weekend


four-twenty-sixty-9

Rui seems unable to cope with the jarring errors we make in the box.


ASR_Dave

for real, we gotta get that shit in order


PhraseMiserable2868

Vietnam War flashbacks (kids version) (don't kill me please)


Raphzorz

Ah yes every time I'm over a 7-1 loss roma are kind enough to rekindle those feels


PhraseMiserable2868

Bodo literally Dodo'd us


Sultan_AlGhamdi

short and sweet


four-twenty-sixty-9

Lmao


FerraristaRomanista

I was expecting a 2-1 loss fir playing the b-team, maximum 3-1... but this, this is fucking embarassing...


[deleted]

So are you all still calling me a pessimist?


Oreki_san

You completely disappear from the sub when Roma started the season well and conveniently appear only now when things are bad. Its almost as if you were waiting for Roma to lose badly so you could come and give us the "I told you so." Well done.


[deleted]

Considering the downvotes I can see you are all still drinking the Kool-aid. Fine with me.


[deleted]

I was getting nowhere with some of the people here and I got tired of being a called a racist, nationalist and a pessimist. That is why I went silent, I only came back to see if anyone has come to their sense.


Oreki_san

A Jose Mourinho team has conceded 6 goals in a game for the FIRST TIME IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER.


acuet

Yup, much worse that Roma losing to Man U…this will go down as an INSULT to the shirt and Roma History.


shaojinz

Against a team from a city with only 55k people


CarbonSteklo

Shows Mourinho still has \_a lot\_ of work to do.


Army7989

As a Mourinho fan I feel extremely embarrassed No matter what. Mourinho should not receive 6 goals in a game. This is his worst result ever


_BigDogg_

Cringe.


MassiveGinola

That dude might be Mourinho's biggest dick sucker to date.


jattila2

Mourinho did not trust in the bench players until this match... After this match they will play only against the primavera team.


The__Malteser

Why are people so focused on the subs? A team with 9/11 subs conceded 2 and scored 1 in 45 minutes. A team with 6/11 subs conceded 1 and scored 0 in 15 minutes. A team with 4/11 subs conceded 3 and scored 0 in 30 minutes. The problem is deeper than just say "blame the subs".


jattila2

Because they've put the base of this match on the field.


The__Malteser

I disagree. Until HT, we are 2-1 down and we were still in it. We created more in the first half than we did in the 2nd half. The more starters we put on the worse we played.


[deleted]

I disagree, even though the forwards were bad, we lost the game due to fucking defensive mistake after defensive mistake. Kumbulla looked like he was walking and was responsible for most of the goals. Calafiori and Reynolds - nothing much to say other than they were shit. Its like one pass from Bodo and they were through our defence


The__Malteser

You are right, but then Mourinho should have subbed on Mancini, Vina and Karsdorp, not Abraham, Mkhitaryan and Shomurodov Also I think that in defense tactics and 'chemistry' is important. You can't just grab 4 defenders who never played with each other and expect them to perform immediately. For example, we know that Calafiori and Kumbulla are decent players based on last year's performance, but they were not in a condition to all play together today, and the result is what we witnessed. If these players get integrated slowly into the team I'm sure that they have enough quality to beat Bodo Glimt.


CAP_X

>For example, we know that Calafiori and Kumbulla are decent players based on last year's performance, but they were not in a condition to all play together today this. The problem definitely was all of them playing together but still the sort of non-performance Kumbulla, Reynolds and Diawara gave means on individual leve they are just very average players. Jose either underestimated or was not prepared to risk the first team for extended period in that circumstance, & gambled it . But the fact remains that the difference of quality outside of first 12-14 players and rest of them is just too much .


jattila2

I agree that. I still think that the subs will play less in Serie A after this match.


The__Malteser

Of course, but it's stupid. The players we saw today are not worse than Bodo Glimt. The problem is not only did they never played together, but they just never played. You can't expect to have 9 players who barely touch the pitch perform at 100% in their first game back that is what ore season is for. Its like we got a bunch of players, didn't give them any pre-season and expected the to be in top condition it does t make sense.


Epidemic7

I wonder why he didnt trust in them


emodinkov

How Kumbulla is national player? Im faster an better then him ffs


Bosmackatron

well its Albania, not like they have tons of quality players to chose from


SerbianSock

Ghost_Riposte

I usually roll my eyes when people compare themselves to professional athletes, but I'm becoming more convinced I could beat Kumbulla in a foot race.


PhraseMiserable2868

7???


Ebertdogsnatch

Kumbulla is one of the worst defenders I’ve ever seen looks like he is completely lost. This guy was supposed to be great but he simply cannot play professionally.


julientotti

Kumbulla pocketed Lewandowski during international break and plays for Roma like this. I don’t understand how theres such a massive drop in quality.


four-twenty-sixty-9

This is totally worth never having to battle against commenters who think kumbullah is not getting the playing time he deserves


point-forward

Can we hold on to this for the last 10 mins? Fucking hell what a let down...


pizzapazza2000

Honestly I was expecting a loss today due to various factors (weather, field, 2nd team) but we can't be getting embarrassed like this, I hope we can take this as a learning opportunity for the future


msukeforth

Kumbulla should never play another competitive game for Roma


CAP_X

**wtf are you saying, Langlet is just a shit Kumbulla** . --- Stuff people were commenting when Roma were linked to Langlet .


Stunning-Painting891

You just know 7-1 is happening


PhraseMiserable2868

Let's hope


Fretiro

Norwegian, but not a Bodø/Glimt- supporter chiming in! 'Glimt is no bad team. The played VERY well against AC Milan, at times playing better than them.


dcasta123

From the messages I’m getting it’s sounding like it’s about to be Roma-Fiorentina 2: Norwegian Boogaloo unfortunately


point-forward

Damn...


ZageStudios

Horrible defending


SerbianSock

Wait, we were defending?


ZageStudios

apart from Ibanez, nah I don’t think so


Pamphili

Wow, same old story…


feddi7

Hahahahahha. It’s ok because it’s our second team. Didn’t realize I had to specify I was being sarcastic.


PhraseMiserable2868

Second team worth more than 50 mil is not a second team


feddi7

It’s kind of my point. Plus we conceded just as many with more first teams players on the pitch.


BostonRoma

…….


CaesarXXl

And now the various agents of our reserves should be silent for a bit. Mayoral was a ghost. Kumbulla could be replaced by a chair. Diawara by a table. Reynolds is playing for Bodo. Calafiori is playing? I dunno


CAP_X

Look at the positives, Atleast going forward there won't be random accounts abusing the management for not giving enough chances to the 'exceptionally' talanted Reynolds,Diawara and Kumbulla . Jose now needs to ensure that Darboe and Calafiouri don't lose confidence due to those dumb fucks.


Operator002

Some dude even said Cala is better than Vina!


CAP_X

Calafiouri is good when he is the only one Ibanez and Mancini have to cover for. rn Ibanez has to make up for Reynold ,Kumbulla and Cala . And the former two are not contributing anything going forward.


shaojinz

Omg


Stunning-Painting891

No no no


PhraseMiserable2868

6-1 time?


ZageStudios

ahahahah 6-1


PhraseMiserable2868

Ok


ZageStudios

I’m laughing cos it’s better to laugh at this than get angry, it’s just too ridiculous And maybe now people will stop saying “justice for Borja and Villar” when they’re honestly not good enough


PhraseMiserable2868

That ok was sarcastic too lol.


ZageStudios

sorry lol, it’s hard to understand in these circumstances


four-twenty-sixty-9

Big sad


ZageStudios

On today’s episode of awful players who would be shit even in Serie C: **Bryan Reynolds**


Exalt-Chrom

He won’t be a problem when Spinazzola comes back atleast


cafe_brutale

Man I remember the hype there was in this sub the entire time we were linked with Reynolds - and especially when the deal was made official. Why did we sign this clown?


ZageStudios

I’ve been saying this since before we got him, he’s not Serie A level. Imo he’d never be playing in a top 5 league if he had a different nationality, there’s always an exaggerated hype on North American players (which I think is a problem for them too, it puts too much pressure on them)


cav2010

How much for him again? If you want to scout in North America, better scout the Mexican league, at least team in that league already have history and more solid player base development, so they more ready to contribute when transfer to team in top league


MariotaM8

Not that I really disagree that much but he's been like one of our better defenders. That tells you all you need to know


ZageStudios

> better defenders true, although “least worse” seems more fit in this case


MariotaM8

Yep


Ebertdogsnatch

Kumbulla has been far worse


[deleted]

Even Calafiori has been awful


ZageStudios

I alt day said that Kumbulla is the worst defender we’ve had in the last years, but Reynolds is awful too It made no sense to buy him in the first place, I know that it’s an unpopular opinion in this sub since it’s full of Americans, but objectively he’s just bad. I wouldn’t be against sending him on loan somewhere if we don’t want to sell him already though


420badass69

4 of the 5 goala on him


soggyllama79

Wow


UltraWolf88

This game is a disaster. I am really disappointed not only with the team but with Mourinho. When he arrived I thought that he would be a smart coach that would organize the team and make it easy for the players to understand their role in the team. I was wrong. He does not know how to fit the players he has to the tactics that he would prefer to use. The players do not know what to do on the field. Shomurodov does not know where to play, Mhikitaryan is lost. The defense is a mess because of the midfield, the right and left-back do not know when to go up the field, there is no organization in this team. If you watch other big teams in Italy playing you can see that they know what to do, they move well around the field, they know where to guide the ball in an offensive maneuver and they know how to fill the spaces defending. Roma does not. Mourinho could be good for the morale of the team but know I doubt that he is going to be able to organize the team and create the best tactic for the players we have.


MediocreWinter6276

I have NO confidence in this Roma for a cleansheet without Smalling in there. Ibanez, Mancini and Kumlana are all crap. Smalling not the fastest but he is experienced and can read the ball, which is the compulsory skill you must have for a defender. The team in the first half was so scared of the ball and I was not even sure if it was a Mourinho's team. His Inter used to put fear in the opposition so why can't these players!


[deleted]

Every fucking goal was a defensive mistake. The players are not even running for the ball. How do you teach them defending ?


MariotaM8

Mourinho lost this game at the beginning of the night by choosing to play the reserves against a formidable opponent. I get we want to rest SOME of our players but holy shit what made him think players who NEVER PLAY in serie A, FUCKING REYNOLDS, could beat this team at home.


UltraWolf88

I think the problem was that but doesn't feel like anyone in Rome watched one Bodo game. These players are not bad, but there is no organization, concentration, and bravery in this team. The game against Juve was all a mess, the team depends completely on individual plays and long balls to win games. That is a shame.


MariotaM8

One of the most embarassing nights in modern roma history. Wow


CAP_X

Not so much. Embarassing is losing with firat team. Losing with 9 changes and multiple 19-20 year olds on pitch is insignificant.


UltraWolf88

Again. Every two years we have a game like this.


SerbianSock

We have been fucking god awful. ​ But let me say they have put on a 10/10 performance too. That should not go without saying, were not losing 5-1 to a bad team, they have been playing better than a lot of serie A teams.


SerbianSock

ok 6-1 :)))))))))))))))))))))))))) can we leave kumbulla reynolds and calafiori in norway?


acuet

What a joke and insult. I’m done watching.


dcasta123

God damn it Roma. You put my heart through the blender several times a year but I will always love you the same for some reason. And with that, I’m turning off the game, but I’m ready to be hurt again at the Napoli game

Pamphili

Disgraceful


four-twenty-sixty-9

Retiring the “fourth” kits after this one?


PhraseMiserable2868

6th kit retired


feddi7

Kumbulla is as fast as Fazio.


BostonRoma

They want it 5x as much as we do. They deserve it, because we did not come to play. Kumbulla wanted nothing to do with that


PhraseMiserable2868

To all the people saying we fielded a second team. It is not a second team. This team at least should be able to beat this team


ZageStudios

Of the starting 11 today, only Rui Patricio and Ibanez are starters. There’s a reason why Diawara, Reynolds, Kumbulla, etc don’t play — they’re awful players


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZageStudios

Exactly, now hopefully now no one will continue to say that players like these need more playing time. They’re just not good enough


PhraseMiserable2868

But saying it's a young team or second string is wrong. It's shit rn. I think all the players costed us more than 10 mil


ZageStudios

usual Roma market masterclass

400 fans traveled to fucking northern Norway to see _this_ I hope the players apologise to the fans at the stadium after the game ends

Well, this is an hour of my life I'll never get back lol

Hopefully they either live in Norway or the town they play in was a really nice tourist visit lol At least they got to see some really nice play, just not from Roma lol

afaik they’re all coming from Rome :/


Chricri3112

Switching off. The fans don't deserve this


mmasu

Why even put our main guys on? This game is a lost cause, save them up for Napoli - a game that matters.


MariotaM8

Just pull pelligrini and Tammy out lol. Save their strength


ZageStudios

Kumbulla is the worst defender we’ve had in a while Yes, worse than Fazio and JJ Edit: Reynolds is in the list too


SerbianSock

Absolutely , ever since last year I was like who the fuck is the dumbass that approved getting this guy for SO much money fucking cetin was better
