Roma head coach Jose Mourinho spoke about the reasons for his team's problems this season.
"For me, finding a solution to play without Dybala is not the same as for Guardiola to find a solution to play without Holland because he has Alvarez. If Pochettino doesn't have Sterling, Mudryk plays, if Klopp doesn't have Diaz, Jota plays. If he's not available, Jurgen plays Nunez, which is not the same.
Roma have no depth in the squad, and you can see it on the pitch. When some problems arise during the season, it is impossible to hide them. "Roma spent a lot of money to get Smalling, and now Smalling is injured and they have no replacement. "Roma spent a lot of money to get Renato Sanches, but he is also unavailable and we can't have two Renato Sanches in the team.
Dybala is a really special player who has played in a team with other special players in recent years. In the match against Fiorentina, it looked like it should have been 3-0 in the 20th minute, but when Dybala left the pitch, we lost the connection that neither Belotti, El Shaarawy nor Joao Costa, who will be called up again tomorrow, can create.
If anyone still doesn't understand, Roma without Paulo Dybala is a different team," Mourinho said.
