Still a Step Short

Ep. 326

In episode 326 of La Magicast, Scot Munroe and Lee Roberts break down Roma’s 1–0 loss away to Atalanta and what it says about the team’s performances against so-called top-seven sides.

They talk about Roma’s mentality in these matches, the recurring issues that keep showing up, and how that contrasts with the response against Lecce in a solid 2–0 away win. There’s also discussion around Evan Ferguson’s redemption, and a look at where Roma might move in the January transfer market.


Forza Roma, always.
