Me too. The fact that Il Capitano says something along the lines of "we are well and truly buried" and that not all in the squad are in favor of ritiro only tells me they should take the rest of the season off and, depending on the player, start looking for new teams or preparing for Serie B. We will see on Sunday.

I can't believe Rocchi said something along the lines of being dead and buried. Strange, especially as we have ten games to go and are not in the relegation zone yet. Survival, mathematcially at least, is still very much possible. If its true then it seems this team has already lost the relegation battle in their minds which is absolutely disgraceful as they have the honour of wearing our colours week in week out. In reality I think players like Ledesma and Kolarov are already dreaming about their summer moves, rather than focusing on the job in hand.

My thoughts exactly of him recently. Cannot help it. Except for the apt "we should all be ashamed" comment after the Bari game... But....


A little misunderstanding I should correct, Rocchi's comment was related to the ritiro not the league and he did not literally even use the words "dead and buried".

“This way we ultimately dig our own grave…” Rocchi concluded.
Well, isn't it true? With this loss they are literally doing so. The loss to Bari at home is the latest of a series of shameful results. It's true his form isn't very good. But whose form is better?
I am sick of listening comments like "Lazio is too good to be relegated", "Lazio can't be relegated" and so on and so on. Because we see with performances like the last one we are very very close to Seria B. And Tommaso is saying it: if they continue to play like sissies next year we will play Mantova and Triestina. I don't think he is waving the white flag like someone said before me. And I am sure he will give his heart and soul on the pitch for LAZIO, especially in this situation.

Well, aren't the players the most guilty in this situation????  Most of the players doesn't show passion. Fuck that. Tommaso is fully right. And btw he is saying "WE are digging our graves". Don't u feel the pain and the anger in his words from the situation in Lazio right now. This shows he cares unlike some other players who only think to which team to go after the season ends, doesn't matter to them if Lazio is in Seria A or not.

@  Bluerulezzz

I was agreeing with you, Rocchi is right and rightfully acknowledging responsibility of this situation to himself and teammates for this crisis.

In regards to we don't need reinforcements, he is not the greatest spokesperson and speaking out against Lotito may not be a good career decision.  He should have kept his mouth shut that time.  Its not his decison to get reinforcements anyway that't Tare & Lotitos job.  For him to say we need reinforcments is too tell his teammates they are too shitty to pass properly which is probably what he has been thinking all season. 

He denies he said that, but it matters little whether he did or didn't. He isn't Di Canio. If he didn't say it, it was because he didn't want to be forced out of the club, or marginalized by Lotito, because he loves the club too much for that. If he did say it, I'm guessing it was owing to fan pressure. For the most part Capitano strikes me as a man who wouldn't say boo to a ghost. Though he does do an awful lot of whining at referee's recently I seen.

I must say that it's clear we haven't got a leader on the pitch - the camera focussed on Rocchi when Bari got their 2nd, and he just stood isolated on the middle of the pitch, by himself, shook his head,  hands on hips. It would have been swell to at least see him gesticulate to the rest of the squad "Fuck that, cmon, let's just go for it" and all that kind of encouragement. I didn't, and tbh never have.

(Yet again I am being unfair comparing people to PDC... because PDC was a special captain and had a special love for Lazio.... but I can't help it)
