Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ndutndut]

I must say that I was surprised by Roma`s excellent signing campaign, transfer and loan campaign. They moved very well, beating very experienced teams like Juventus (I`m referring to Lukaku).
This allows him to have very strong players who give that extra sprint: and we see it works. 7 goals to Empoli.

I wouldn't say so quickly about AS Roma right now. Their blowout win is good for them, but we also have to look at the strength of the opponent they beat so soundly.
I don't mean to demean Empoli, but based on their results before the match against AS Roma, I think we can already start to see how strong they are. But I will also say something good for AS Roma, because after all this is a very good result and deserves appreciation. But they still have to continue to improve, don't be satisfied with the landslide victory they achieved recently.

I also don't want to judge too early about As Roma. Because for me it is difficult for As Roma to compete with teams like Inter Milan and AC Milan to win the Serie A title because they don't have enough money to spend on players. Luckily Joe Mourinho is there so As Roma can still attract quality players at low prices and loan players.

Because being a strong team is not only judged by one or two matches. But we have to see how consistent they are in every match and whether they always make progress in every match. This has not been seen in As Roma because so far they are still in 12th place in the standings with four matches and four points.

[Distraction]

Dybala is very valuable for Roma. I can comfortably say that he is the most valuable one now. He has made a great return with his effort in the Empoli match also. His performance will be important for Roma this season. Because they are expected to make improvement in the league and they need every single one of their solid players.

This could be Mourinho's last season at the same time. You know he is in his last year of his contract already. If he doesn't improve I don't think the board would think of extending his contract.

By saying improvement I mean finishing the season in top 4. Otherwise there won't be any change compared to last season.

If Daybala was released in the transfer market last summer to Chelsea, it would be increasingly difficult for Roma to compete in Serie A. The addition of Lukaku has not made Mourinho squad completely stable, if Il Lupi fails to finish in the Champions League zone, it is possible that Roma management will not renew his contract Mourinho. Even though he is full of experience and achievements, Mourinho cannot do much at the capital club due to inadequate financial factors.

Mourinho best achievement with Roma was winning the UEFA Conference League in the 2022 season, where Roma became the first winners in Europe third caste competition. This season the Europa League will be proof for Mourinho, where Liverpool is the favorite club this time.

Yeah if Roma can manage to win the Europa League title this season then at least this might be enough for Mourinho to be kept by the board. Because Roma's main goal must be to qualify for the Champions League now and winning this title will help them make it. In this case they can tolerate Roma's finishing the season out of top 4.

But I don't know if they can do their incomplete job this season. You know they were so close to it last season by reaching the finale. But Sevilla didn't let them. Mourinho still doesn't accept this fact because of being angry at the referee but this is the situation. This time Liverpool can bring the same competition to Roma as you said.

[Leviathan.007]

Mourinho is a great and famous coach and he is the coach to win the Champions League with Porto while they didn't have many famous and superstar players in their team.
That's why it's normal for people to expect much more from this coach, I was thinking Roma could get a much better place on the table in the last season.

Mourinho tactics are well studied by his rivals and like Simeone in Atlético Madrid, they don't have an additional value. They are keeping their teams in respectable spots but they fail to advance the team further.
After 4 rounds, Roma won once with a big score vs Emploi and lost twice. Apart from the defeat against Milan, the points dropped in front of Verona and Salernitana shouldn't be acceptable.
Today they will face Sheriff Tiraspol in an away game. Sheriff aren't that good this season and Roma should win.

That's true but the bad thing about Mourinho and Roma is they didn't have good players in the last season and specily they had to get more forwards to have alternatives for Dybala.
This time after hiring more players I think we can even expect to see even better performance than Mourinho and Roma. However, I think even the best coach in the world can't do anything without good players and Roma had to even invest more in this season to give Mourinho more tools.

Mourinho still doesn't accept this fact because of being angry at the referee but this is the situation. This time Liverpool can bring the same competition to Roma as you said.

In my opinion, instead  of them hoping on an Europa League trophy to decide their fate in the Champions league next season, I think they could still work very hard in the training session to better  perform better in the pitch, the season is the fresh and if they continue in good form and maintain good winning record then they'll have a better chance of getting into the top four
 
 So far in their last two matches they had good performances and the destroyed Empoli with multiple goals and also against Sheriff in the Champions league Roma players where very impressive and deserved the winning, I think if they get out of the Champions League into the Europa they'll still have a lot of  tough contebders that would make winning the league tough for them

[harapan]

AS Roma bringing in Romelu Lukaku this season, he's the top nine and replacing injured Tammy Abraham in league games, the new attacker who prove himself on the pitch, already netted just a goal, there's more the supporters expects from him. AS Roma did start Seria A in poor condition but they amend everything and restore back their strength when they humiliated Empoli 7 nil at the stadio Olimpico. José Mourinho  have complex plans for his club, he's keen on achieving significant titles this season, perhaps we are still expecting good performance from Giallorossi.

This is José Mourinho's 3rd season with Roma, and José Mourinho is quite an experienced coach so I think no one doubts that José Mourinho can make Roma much better this season, since José Mourinho's arrival to Roma there have been many positive changes that have occurred. , and so is this season.
Even though Roma experienced a poor performance at the start of the season, I think last weekend's big win was a turning point for them this season.
And Lukaku's presence with Roma cannot be concluded yet, he is still new to the team and needs more to adapt.

Mourinho once again said "we did not lose that europa finals last year" and he is 100% right. Anyone who has watched that game would know that ref was on Sevillas side and the result was obviously tampered with. Roma deserved it 100% and everything that ref decided was in favor of Sevilla.

Even the Sevilla fans wouldn't be able to defend that type of game, it was obvious that there were not just one or two bad decisions, there were game changing big huge mistakes that cost Roma that game. However, it is obvious that Mourinho is trying to change the topic, last year was last year, we are in today and they are not doing well at the league today. There is no excuse for them to be this bad at the league this season.

That is nothing but facts stated but that is not the major importance now for As Roma. Long since they raised the League Cup, the Seria A. Jose Mourinho should channel that energy used to talk about the past Into winning one of the big major cup games and Competitions.
Lose are bad to experience but no matter what happens and the consequences one must always learn the lessons that are associated with lose. Jose Mourinho did all he could do but Sevilla seem to have extra luck and effort involved in winning the Europa League
I want Roma to win the Seria A but that can not happen with the squad of Jose Mourinho

[giammangiato]

One big win cannot be said to be an illustration that AS Roma is experiencing good development, it is not an easy thing to be able to score 7 goals in one match but each match will provide different challenges and difficulties, and the most important thing is how AS Roma can be consistent and that this has been their problem for a long time, where they can win but also lose even to teams that are not considered capable of doing it against them.
Today they will face Sheriff, in several seasons Roma has been quite good in European competitions, and maybe they will repeat these good statistics this season and go further in this competition, Lukaku will really be expected to score goals especially as he has experience playing in more prestigious tournaments.

with the addition of Lukaku Roma will certainly be able to make their way both in the Italian championship and in the European cups without any problems whatsoever. This player has a lot of experience and knows how to behave in stressful and high-quality situations. Roma did a great job in taking him on loan.

what's going on here, it seems that many still haven't accepted Roma's defeat to Sevilla in the last European League lol

At the press conference session on Wednesday (20/09/2023), Jose Mourinho again touched on AS Roma's defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League final last season.

In this match, AS Roma lost after a penalty shootout. However, according to Jose Mourinho, his team did not lose that match.

Jose Mourinho referred to the controversy created in the match, especially the leadership of referee Anthony Taylor.

the 2-1 win against the sheriff in the European League group phase made many fans happy and one of Roma's goals was scored by Lukaku, it seems like a good decision to accommodate lukaku into the team, so far he has had a really good impact on Roma's attack line.  Even though Roma are in 12th place in the Serie A standings, at the end of the season I'm sure they will be in a better place.  Jose Mourinho is still very competent in coaching Roma, Roma's performance is quite stable.

This player has a lot of experience and knows how to behave in stressful and high-quality situations. Roma did a great job in taking him on loan.

I also think that Romelu Lukaku's arrival at AS Roma could have a good impact on AS Roma itself, even though it is only on loan from Chelsea. This has been proven in the AS Roma vs FC Sheriff match where Romelu Lukaku was able to score a goal in the second half to bring AS Roma to victory in the group stage of the Europa League this season. So there is an opportunity for AS Roma to fight for a trophy in the European League again in addition to a trophy in Serie A which is also very possible for AS Roma.

Romelu Lukaku without doubt, is big striker that can single-handedly win matches for any club he's playing and that's why I was very surprised to see Chelsea loan him out to AS Roma in the summer despite having Christopher Nkunku sidelined as result of injury.
With Lukaku's presence in the Roma team, they'll surely be a serious contender this season in not just the Italian Serie A competition but also in the UEFA Europa League competition. His goal tonight secured victory for his club in their first European game of the season.

The features in this game are not excellent enough to make it that difficult, thus it won't be quite as difficult as that. The champions league has begun, and if champions league is initiated, those teams performing in champion league will not be more serious in playing in the remaining leagues once again. Some teams in this serie A league will not be serious in this league once more, such as Napoli.

Even though Napoli's opening match was fortunate for them because they won 2-1, the team is struggling to perform well these days. I believe Napoli's coach needs to change the team formation he is using in order to help the team play well in their upcoming match.

Mourinho still doesn't accept this fact because of being angry at the referee but this is the situation. This time Liverpool can bring the same competition to Roma as you said.

That's difficult to say early because Roma big target is to qualify for the Champions League next season and ranking in the top 4 is their target this season. But apart from that, we have looked at their history last season because last season they were in 3rd place in the standings. But in several matches at the end of the season they lost concentration so that their ranking could be taken by Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Last season, Roma was even able to advance to the European League final but they failed to win the championship trophy because they were defeated by Sevilla. So this season Jose Mourinho has to think early about continuing to improve their quality in Serie A so as not to lose any more points. Roma have only won 1 time in the 4 matches they have played. So Jose Mourinho must be able to maintain their best quality form in every match in order to maintain hopes of closing the season in the top 4.

I Think Roma impact on the world is evident, and Dybala is currently their most valued asset. His recently versus Empoli play demonstrated his commitment. Roma is relying on him for a productive season as they strive for a top-four finish. The mystery surrounding Mourinho contract situation makes it less likely that he will receive an extension. The team hasn't really stabilized since Lukaku joined. If Roma fails to qualify for the Champions League, Mourinho contract might not be renewed. His power has been constrained by money issues. His most illustrious accomplishment was the unprecedented victory in the UEFA Conference League in 2022. The Europa League will be a major test this season, and Liverpool is a strong contender.

He is still good as a striker. I don't know how stupid chelsea to let him go instead of using him as the main striker. it's caused by lukaku has better experience compared with jackson. Sheriff was almost making the result draw.
I can see that how lukaku was maximizing his physic to block three players who tried to prevent him from shooting. Even though lukaku has a disadvantage caused by he was horrible in one touch but he is having good physic to help him in shooting the ball accurately. Chelsea was making a mistake caused by the club was loaning him which is proven to be a better striker than jackson.
A good result from as roma. It seems like that lukaku will show his convincing performance under mourinho.

The journey to the Europa League final is still very long and there are still many matches waiting for these teams. Roma will certainly get a good impact from Lukaku's arrival, but in my opinion Lukaku will never again reach his peak performance as a striker even though he can have good goal statistics.

I know he suits Serie A, so I wouldn't be surprised if Lukaku could score 10 goals or more this season with Roma. However, I don't think Roma can return to the final this season if they are not able to maintain consistent performance in every match. In fact, there are many good teams in the Europa League this season, including several teams that will be eliminated from the Champions League.

Lukaku had more problems with his body and physical fitness in the last two years but if he is ready physically, he is a good striker. Jose Mourinho is known as a coach who can boost mentality of his players a lot. We saw how some players like Materazzi, Drogba, Ibrahimovic many times saying like they are ready to die for Mourinho. With Lukaku, Mourinho can have another player like this as the Belgium striker needs trust from his coach and love from his fans. In Rome, he can have it as same as how Romanista and Mourinho treat with Dybala.

A good result from as roma. It seems like that lukaku will show his convincing performance under mourinho.

Lukaku has some good matches for Roma but it is only beginning and the season is long. He must take care of his body to contribute as much as possible for Roma during a long season.

I Think Roma impact on the world is evident, and Dybala is currently their most valued asset. His recently versus Empoli play demonstrated his commitment. Roma is relying on him for a productive season as they strive for a top-four finish. The mystery surrounding Mourinho contract situation makes it less likely that he will receive an extension. The team hasn't really stabilized since Lukaku joined.

With Mourinho, they had two final matches in Europe in two consecutive seasons and won a first ever title in Europe in Conference League. Last season they were just unluckily lost the Europa League final to Sevilla with some mistakes from the referee.

Roma squad was improved with some players come in the summer and they most joined Roma with loan transfer or free transfer. With those players, Roma has a better squad than the past season and they can think of fighting in both Serie A and Europa League.

If Roma fails to qualify for the Champions League, Mourinho contract might not be renewed. His power has been constrained by money issues. His most illustrious accomplishment was the unprecedented victory in the UEFA Conference League in 2022. The Europa League will be a major test this season, and Liverpool is a strong contender.

Ending Serie A at a position to join Champions League 2024 - 2025 will be one of biggest tasks for Mourinho and his players. After this season, Mourinho contract with Roma will expire and it's hard for Roma to convince him to stay if they won't complete this season well.

Mourinho knows how to groom players, making them sharp and even better then they were just in the case of Drogba and some other players. I'm not the type that would say a coach should build a team around a player, that's always gone bad for any club with that mentality in terms of injury.
Concerning Roma, I feel Mourinho is trying his best to make Dybala one of the best in Italian football and is working but the problem with the Argentine I mean Dybala is that he easily break down (get injured).
Only if he isn't that prone to injury I believe Roma will be unstoppable this season and the Italian title will be their number priority, not minding Napoli or Inter Milan.
Well, with the way Mourinho is handling Dybala I believe he's in his best and I have this feeling that Juventus would be regretting ever letting the man Dybala go.

One should not expect too much from Lukaku. I don't think Lukaku can score more than 10-15 goals in a season in Serie A.  But if he adapts well to Mourinho's match strategy, maybe we will see a better performance from Lukaku. But it is less likely. But I think Mourinho should not put too much expectation on Lukaku. Mourinho is well aware of the capabilities of the players in his squad.

Roma will be looking to win the Europa League title this season. The team played very well in the last season as well. Roma have the potential and ability to do well in the Europa League if Mourinho can stabilize the squad, strengthen the bonds between the players.

However, Roma's performance in Serie A is not satisfactory. and that's what we see today. Mourinho will probably focus on the Europa League rather than Serie A. It's quite a long season for Roma in Serie A with a performance like that. Even though the match against Empoli they were very strong, it was a team that was at the bottom of the standings.
no matter how Mourinho builds his team. So far he has proven he is capable, but cannot make Roma's game stable. they can perform very well, but when they lose several players they perform so badly.

Dybala's performance has been very good for a long time and because the injuries he often suffers make his performance slowly decline, I never thought that Juventus would regret their decision for Dybala.
So far, Jose Mourinho really believes in Dybala on the front lines and it has been quite effective, but like last season, no one can predict that Dybala will be consistent and not get injured again.

Jose Mourinho is a quite experienced coach and he knows what he has to do to build a team, since he coached Roma this team has developed a lot, so for this season I think it will be the same, even though at the start of the season Roma experienced a little problem but I I'm sure they can rise.
In terms of winning the Scudetto, it looks a little difficult because if we look at the quality of the players in this team's squad, it is not as good as their rival teams in the race for the Sudetto, but the possibility is still there.
