The big difference between us and Roma was the fact that they had a striker(Totti) and we hadn't. I don't think so. The difference IMO was on the defensive midfielder. We simply DON'T HAVE the defensive midfield. That's why they got so much space down there. How many times they had Totti vs. Nesta, 1 on 1. Or Simic vs. Mancini 1 on 1 too? Many times.
And our fowards? If they pass trough Mexes, then De Rossi or Pizarro were always there to tackle it.
Our lazy team and lazy mid-line (Pirlo and Seedorf) are the main responsibles for that. Not our fowards IMO.
I hope at least they run vs. Empoli.
