I also think that Roma are not in that much bad situation in the standings right now. They are at the 6th position and they have a winning streak recently too. This is their first season with Jose Mourinho in the end and we can't see it as a failure already now. They still have a chance for even the 4th position which can give them a chance to promote to the Champions League for the next season. And I believe that they will fight for it for a long time and won't give up earlier in the season.
Yes, it's true, Roma can't be said to be bad, they are only 5 points adrift of the top 4 positions, which are now occupied by Atalanta. Of course they want 4th place at least at the end of the season, to be able to have a ticket to play in the Champions League next season.
And I think Jose Mourinho can do that too, because we know that Jose Mourinho is a great coach, even some of the teams under him can do a lot in their league.
The fourth team in the points table is now Atlanta. And even if they play one match less than Roma, they are 5 points ahead of Roma. Filling this gap of 5 points will not be easy. Because maybe Roma is in form now. However, Atlanta and Juventus are quite consistent teams. They will also fight to the maximum to qualify for the Champions League. This makes it even more challenging for Roma to be in the top 4 of the table.
