I laugh at the supposed “lack of depth” in L1.
L1 has one big team and then 16 solid teams.
That’s depth if there’s one. They just don’t have top-end depth.

In Italy, the bottom 10 teams are absolutely AWFUL. L2 level really.

To everybody I know (except one person), The Roma victory last year was a fluke. Because Lyon had a team so much better than Roma’s. Lyon were supposed to go further but they acted in their own house like bitches. The spectacle was pitiful. But one thing’s for sure, no french team would have taken 7 goals that day.
But I have to agree that Spaletti just makes wonders with your team. The only team I think rome should worry about would be the depth of their bench. Aside from that, the’ll be playing their last Champions League in a long time now that Juve is back.

Besides the difference in league, I think Lyon and Roma are on the same level. I’ve argued about this with Chris before, but on Lyon’s good day, Roma would have been lucky to get away with a draw.

What about Chivu? He was there last year. 50+ caps and the captain for Romania, that says international experience to me.

Hey Inara, what happened to the Plessis quib? I was looking forward to here what he had to say. Cheers.
