When asked about the impact Gervinho has made on Roma since signing from Arsenal in August, Totti said: "He has made our team an infinite times better. I don't normally praise players but Gervinho is one of the best players I have ever played with in my career. I saw him play 2 or 3 times at Arsenal and I did not think much of him, but from up close he's a beast. An absolute beast."

"If he were to score more goals too in his game, he would be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo and Roma would never have been able to sign him. He is one of the best players this season in Serie A without a doubt though."

😆 Is he for real?

Gervinho for Ballon d'Or!

He has been terrific for Roma this season to be fair. Just wait until Totti sees him when he is low on confidence...

He doesn't look much different to Arsenal Gervinho. He's just in a worse league playing for a manager who uses the perfect tactics for him.

Totti probably knows this and is playing psychology to make sure his confidence lasts as long as possible.

The big test will come when he starts fucking up chances in big matches (like Juve or god forbid the derby) and they don't win because of it. Against Catania when he hit the post with the open goal, there was a lot of frustration, but Roma was up 2 or 3-0 at that stage. If these things happen a few times in a game and they lose, the crowd may start moaning, and then his confidence may get affected. He is beating players for fun in Serie A though - has a 80% chance of beating the first guy and 50% chance the second. Still fucks up the final ball more often than not though, and can't shoot, but it's working for him so far.

Honda joined AC Milan on a free. Finally gets a chance at a really big club. Starting @ 3:50 😆

Looking forward to seeing how he does there, always liked him. Juve v Roma tonight is a huge game.

What a terribly awkward interview 😆 Why can't they let him speak in Japanese?

Think he will shine in Serie A. Suits him

Looks like another ACL tear for Rossi. Really, really hoping that's not the case. Absolutely gutted for him.

Apparently he took a bad tackle and it wasn't a twisted knee/non contact injury. Let's hope it was just a dead leg.

Hope Roma stuff them

Can't believe Roma have allowed such a soft goal. Juve didn't start well at all.

Fiorentina Prade' on Rossi's injury:"It's the right knee, the same knee (of ACL injury). The fear is that ligament is involved"
