Roma’s attacking woes continue as the season progresses.
Ivan Juric was clear after the 1-1 draw against Monza: Roma must improve their finishing.
Despite dominating possession at 68%, the Giallorossi failed to capitalize on the many opportunities they created.
Against the Brianza team, Roma had 15 shots, but only 4 of them were on target.
In stark contrast, Monza had 3 shots and all of them were on target, even managing to record a higher expected goal (1.37 versus 1.16).
The most worrying statistic, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport, is the average number of shots needed to score: 14.6 for each goal.
This puts Roma among the worst teams in Serie A in terms of offensive efficiency, surpassed only by teams like Genoa, Venezia, Cagliari and Lecce.
In comparison, the top teams need just 6 or 7 shots to find the back of the net, underlining the urgency of improving their offensive performance.
