The game with Palermo kicks off at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT), follow the action on the LIVEBLOG.

“This team still hasn’t found its balance,” the director general told Mediaset Premium.

“Roma have quality, as we’ve beaten Inter and Napoli, but too often there are dips in concentration and these are worrying. We can’t seem to resolve them.”

A win tonight would put them within two points of leaders Juventus. Are Roma the anti-Juve?

“First of all Roma must be the anti-Roma, because we need to cure our own problems and defeat our own defects.

“Stephan El Shaarawy is a perfect example, as you cannot criticise his quality and technique. He needs to find consistent performances, both emotional and technical.”

This evening Emerson Palmieri and Juan Jesus are makeshift full-backs against Palermo.

“We have many injuries, so we have to adapt players to different roles. They are working hard for the team and can do what is asked for them. Clearly in the long-term we see other players in those positions.”

Former Giallorossi Coach Garcia was very critical of the club yesterday in an interview with L’Equipe, claiming Roma showed “little class” in refusing to give him money owed after his dismissal.

“We were if anything far too elegant with Garcia and will not respond to his comments because we wish to continue being elegant.

“We wish him all the best at Marseille and that he does better than his last year at Roma,” replied Baldissoni.
