A crisp shot from the Blank Jersey corner of the box was the only goalin a di sapointing result for the Gialloro si. It was the Spaniards first goal of the season, and a very sweet one, as he has been ridiculedfor his troubled spell at the capital club.Roma threatened throughout the match, but Mirko Vucinic still doesnt have his shooting boots on with two glaring mi ses despite some neat bulid up play from Daniele De Ro si and the ever improving Stefano Guberti.There were many other chances for AS Roma, particularly Simone Perrotas chance set up by the rampant John Arne Riise but Alfonso De Lucia saved smartly to his right hand post.Soon after Francesco Tavano dealt the Romans a sucker blow with his Bryce Harper Jersey powerful strike from the edge of the box which beat Alexander Doni at his near post. The fans were not happy at half time, and they made there feelings clear to the players while going down the tunnel for a roasting from Claudio Raineri.Five minutes into the second half,Nicolas Burdi so, the diminutive Argentinian, mi sed a routine header at the back post from a Rodrigo Taddei corner. Burdi so was visibly enraged at himself for mi sing the chance to pull AS Roma level early in the second half. This feeling was echoed but the AS Roma faithful when Vucinic failed with two clear cut chances.A ludicrous red card was then witne sed with Alfonso De Lucia being booked for time wasting while waiting to take a bye kick, after learning this he was incensed which led to the goalkeeper kicking the ball away as he was given the yellow card, the referee turned around and then sent him off. Francesco Benu si came on for Erick Fedde Jersey the unlucky Nico Pulzetti who was sacrificed because of De Lucias sending off.Roma continued to threaten but never looked like breaking through a resiliant defence that included former Inter Milan defender Fabio Galante. There was also a towering performance from Croatian international Dario Knezevic.Serse Cosmi wins on his debut against the club he has supported all of his life, certainly a story for the morning Italian papers. Cosmi wasnt getting carried away though, we achieved something particularly difficult, but not impo sible, seeing as football has taught us anything can happen,. Cosmi sticks to his ultimate belief that anything can happen in Eric Thames Jersey the beautiful game.Claudio Raineri takesa very different approach, claiming that its not easy playing without a hitman like Totti. The captain was sidelined for this fixture an Ranieri obviously thinks that AS Roma cannot operate without the Roman legend.It was not about to get easier for the Gialloro si as they visit Udinese in midweek, a side that is equal in points with AS Roma in a tight section of the Serie A table. Livorno would look to bulid on their win in the capital with a winnable home tie against struggling Atalanta.Totti SetbackDespite what I reported at the weekend, Francesco Totti will requre surgery on his troublesome right knee, the injurywhich has caused him to mi s countle s games over the past three years. With el capitano being an integral part of the starting eleven, it is causing AS Roma some problems on the pitch as they are without a win since week 7 against Southern rivals Napoli. The irony in that victory was that it was a double from Totti that sealed the win, sure signs that they are mi sing their captain.There is no return date setfor the captain although he is certain to mi s out on the midweek trip Patrick Corbin Jersey northto Udine. An AS Roma team sheet without Totti is pricele s to the opposing manager, who then senses a chance to defeat AS Roma. Click hereClick hereClick here
