Fergie in Roma

Welcome to the Big Ev Translation Service (B.E.T.S)

Regular updates on the Bettystown Bomber's Roman Holiday
At least he didn’t miss two penalties.

After what could only be described as a desperate display in falling 1-0 to Lille, the sound of knives being sharpened with intent in the direction of Fergie, Dovbyk, Gasperini and the Roma hierarchy is getting considerably louder.

Well, we'll always have the golf.

It was an Irish sporting weekend made for 'Reeling in the Years'. A Kelleher penalty save, a Lowry masterclass. All lining up nicely until Artem Dovbyk opened the scoring for Roma on Sunday afternoon.

Differing views in the Italian press on how our boy got on against Lazio:

Gazzetta: "Ireland's least combative centre-forward" (???)

vs.

Il Romanista: "He pushes and shoves the whole time. That's what you need in a derby"

vs.

La Repubblica: “He was innocuo [harmless].”

What makes a footballer great? Skill? Power? Trophies? A record-breaking goal tally?

Or is it simply the ability to bang the goals in on derby day against That Shower from across the city?

Evan Ferguson will try to answer this question against Lazio tomorrow morning. Eternity awaits.

Difficult day vs Torino yesterday, with defeat for Roma and a frustrating half for Fergie.

Italian media reckon Dybala is the only true 'quality dispenser' in the side, and Gasp has work to do to provide Ev with better routes to goal.

Next up?

Sunday, Lazio derby. Ger'rup.

74 minutes leading the line and a svelte assist for Soulé's goal on Saturday night - Evan Ferguson is establishing himself as a key part of Gasperini's Roma.

We watched the game with Roma fans in London who seem pretty happy with what they've seen so far.

Sterling work from the Bettystown Bruiser last night, playing 74 minutes with a rake of strong chances in the first half.

Just as important, the Giallorossi faithful like what they see from Big Ev, with the fan sites effusive about their new man up top.
