AS Roma is not in a position to challenge for the title in Serie A this season, this is very visible through the lack of dominance of AS Roma this season in Serie A. Although there is still plenty of time and opportunity for AS Roma in the remainder of this season which still has a lot of matches, but AS Roma does not have enough ability to serve its opponents this season such as Napoli, AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus.
To become a club that win the title, it may be difficult for AS Roma, but to beat teams like Napoli, Milan, Juve and Inter, I think there is still have a chance. When they meet one of the big 5 standings, Roma players and their opponents have the same chance, they can even surprise their opponents. Forget about AS Roma, AC Milan can be beaten by Torino. This means that victory can still be achieved by Roma against the big 5. Well, at least, Mou will force players to qualify for the UCL next season as their target.
Indeed, the opportunity for AS Roma to steal points from the team that is now above them is wide open. But the question is back to their own performance, meaning there is doubt they can beat the big teams if their form doesn't improve. Football drama does present many surprises, but they can't always rely on surprises or you could say luck. All need hard work and effort to achieve that.
