Well, I finally saw an extended highlight of the game. What struck me is how some here tried to show Zlatan's misses as completely horrible.
Granted, he could have scored from either, but in no way it was a clear breakaway or something in that nature. In the first one ('assist' to Vieira) he wasn't facing the goal and the ball fell to his weaker left foot. To be honest, I don't know if it was a shot, he didn't even look at the goal and there is a chance it was a pass after all.
In the Crespo pass, some here said that Crespo was unselfish, and he was. However, Crespo wasn't in a position to clearly score. Furthermore, Zlatan was surrounded by 3-4 Roma players and didn't have a clear line of sight.
I am not making excuses, but I am just surprised that some tried to portray those misses as something incredible, and they weren't.

I disagree. I believe Stankovic,Recoba and Solari can play in that position. We have enough subs. Please no more changes. We are fine as we are now.

And I agree with you
I think Chino can play very well there (you just watch and see
), and Santiago can also play there if he must.

I think that Recoba is just perfect for that position, just can't see better player on that postition in the market right now.
Who is Recoba? Stan? I don't know, I prefer him to be one of the 3 amongst the 3 midfielders. Solari? He is the best amongst what we have.
However, once again, Mancini is the answer for that. For real, he would be perfect in that role, he can play in either flank, and can be a half-striker like he showed brilliantly last year.
This player is a must have. If not this year, then next year. Would Roma refuse a package of Cruz+Recoba/Solari+$$ for him?
