With Roma this has been their normal, starting off very well and later doing poorly so seeing this performance of them is not really freaking me until it is getting far into the season and I see that they have still maintained this form and are able to still produce good results through this period but the title I agree they are very much not even going to have a chance at it until a certain time when they kill be able to build their team form and strength for then to put up the necessary challenge needed to challenge for the trophy.
Roma have been behaving like this for many years, a stellar start to the season and then a constant decline towards the end, I think this is something they need to change, the attitude, all the matches are important and when they understand this they will be truly interested in doing better and winning.
I believe that has come to an end this season because they have a coach like Gasperini who is capable of maintaining the team performance till the end of the season. Roma has been having issues with consistent performance over a while, which was the main reason why the club hired Gasperini to strengthen and stable their performance.
