Holden McGroin 9909 Posted July 9, 2024 Share Posted July 9, 2024 On a side note, I remember watching us v Roma around 00. Montella, Delvechio and Totti up front for them looked well dangerous. They had a few good Brazlilians at the back as well. Cafu, Aldair and I was most impressed with Zago who looked scruffy but was like a brick wall. Also the Monaco team (96 maybe?).. Henry, Sonny Anderson, Bernabia, John Collins, Barthez, Petit were a class outfit Both teams just outclassed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42157 Posted July 9, 2024 Share Posted July 9, 2024 Zago’s hard man act seemed to disappear a bit after Big Dunc did the wanker sign to him and basically offered him out on the pitch. Funny that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly that was Big Dunc's tactics against defenders every boxing day match he played. Most thought something had crawled up there and died!

Funnily enough I saw a clip of Ince getting completely manhandled then thrown the ground by Big Dunc in a Dipper Derby. Ince got up and patted him. He'd have been fucking furious if it was anyone else. Also saw a clip of Dunc slamming Jaap Staam down. Similar result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf we played well against that Roma team given the side was in disarray after Gullit had been sacked and SBR had just taken over iirc. I think they won 1-0 over the two legs. Good side though and I think they won Serie A the year after that pipping Juve on the final day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think you're right. it was a long time ago but I remember them being a good team and we couldn't break them down. Lots of Italian shithousing - which was the era of the "Italian teams know how to defend" rhetoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Italian shithousing - which was the era of the "Italian teams know how to defend" rhetoric. The year they won the league had a really good system with 3 at the back iirc. Including Aldair and Zago. Cafu and Candela were the wing backs. The latter could play on either side and was class but couldn’t get a look in for France with Thuram and Lizarazu. Capello played a 3-4-1-2 with Totti in the hole. The final bit of the jigsaw was Batistuta alongside Montella (usually I think) as the former had gone there when Fiorentina got relegated and had massive financial problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only then Dunga took over as captain. Also Ronaldo was in the squad (as a 17 year old iirc) but didn’t get any match time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
