Dat lijkt me echt iets te hoog gegrepen voor Roma, de selecties van Juve en de clubs uit Milaan zijn sterker.

Totaal onnodige nederlaag, als maar een klein percentage kansen benut was, had er al makkelijk een 4-1 op het bord gestaan, met name Montella miste veel opgelegde kansen.

Spalletti hails Okaka

Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has praised 16-year-old striker Stefano Okaka following his debut in the 0-0 draw with Aris Salonika.

The Italian-born Nigerian made his first start for the Giallorossi last night, becoming the youngest player to represent an Italian side in European competition.

And Coach Spalletti was pleased with the teenager’s performance in Greece on Thursday evening.

"He did very well, despite his massive size and his young age," said the tactician. "He was a little nervous but it went relatively well for him."

The capital club failed to reproduce their first leg performance in which they won 5-1, but the tactician was still smiling.

"I was happy with the way we approached the game," continued the former Udinese maestro.

"We fought well on a difficult pitch, it was key that we settled in the first half an hour. We didn’t create too much but still had some chances."

Roma blast ‘liar’ Cassano

Antonio Cassano’s relationship with Roma is deteriorating by the day after he was labelled a ‘liar’ by the club.

The two parties are in the middle of a contract dispute after failing to agree terms over an extension.

Roma broke off talks at the weekend blaming the player for the collapse, while the attacker hit back with his version of events earlier this week.

"Cassano is a liar and he is taking the club and the fans for a ride," chief operating officer Rosella Sensi stated.

"I will no longer speak to someone who is not coherent and who doesn’t check his facts.

"His claims that it was he who took two steps back are not true, he never has," the President’s daughter added.

"On the other hand, we took a step forward. He really can’t be permitted to say certain things."

A split in January or in June now seems inevitable seeing as the £20m signing will be available on a free transfer next summer.

Sensi’s comments seem to have also dismissed the whispers that were coming out of the Italian capital last night.

There were reports that Cassano was on the verge of signing a new two-year deal worth around £2.5m a season.

However, as part of the agreement, a clause was set to be included which stated that he would be sold to Inter in the summer of 2007.

Totti misses UEFA clash

Francesco Totti will play no part in Roma’s UEFA Cup match at Tromso on Thursday as he awaits the birth of his first child.

The captain has been allowed to remain in the capital to stay close to his wife, while also being rested ahead of Sunday’s crucial derby match against Lazio.

The No 10 isn’t the only notable absentee as Vincenzo Montella, Alberto Aquilani, Antonio Cassano and Gigi Sartor are missing with injury.

Midfielder Damiano Tommasi hasn’t travelled either as he wasn’t registered in time to take part in the competition.

There is some good news though as Leandro Cufre returns following his recent thigh strain, even if it unclear whether the Argentine will start.

Tonight’s clash in Norway is seen as a must win by many following the Giallorossi’s disastrous start to the season.

They have collected just eight points from their first seven games and lost to 10-man Empoli 1-0 on Sunday.

That led to a protest by fans outside of the club’s training ground on Tuesday where numerous players were heckled by angry supporters.

"You can lose a match but never without a fight," stated boss Luciano Spalletti. "We need to get back on track in Tromso when you take into account what we did at Empoli.

"If we just do the basics well then everything else will follow."

Roma are one of three Italian teams taking part in the group stages of the UEFA Cup. Palermo face Maccabi Petach Tikva today, while Sampdoria have a rest day.

Roma squad: Alvarez, Bovo, Chivu, Curci, Dacourt, De Rossi, Doni, Greco, Mexes, Kharja, Kuffour, Mancini, Nonda, Panucci, Perrotta, Taddei, Cufre, Okaka.
