Roma coach Luciano Spalletti knows fans will be protesting again after their 4-1 thrashing by Fiorentina last night. "Working here is wonderful and intense. It has been a difficult week, we conceded four goals again and the expectation in the fans has been disappointed," sighed Spalletti.

"It is a very special thing to work in Rome because the fans are so involved in the process and now we must deal with the after-effects.

"The supporters are going to be very disappointed and we must take it. After all, they carried me in triumph on to a pedestal when we were winning, so it's only right I take the brunt when we're losing."
