Roma: Zaniolo and Abraham desperate for goals

Roma have the sixth best attack in Serie A, as Tammy Abraham and Nicolò Zaniolo need to start scoring more goals to make the Giallorossi competitive at the top.

The Englishman has scored four goals in total for Roma, while the Italy international has yet to score in Serie A this term, highlighting the lack of a prominent goalscorer at Trigoria.

Barzagli: ‘Roma miss Abraham’s goals’

Roma are fourth in Serie A ahead , but must start scoring more goals to pursue a place in the Champions League.

Former defender Andrea Barzagli stressed the former Chelsea striker needs to start scoring more to help make the Giallorossi competitive.

“Roma are missing his goals,” Barzagli told DAZN. “He helps the team, but he’s not scoring many goals.”

The Giallorossi have the third best defence in the League, but are sixth on the list over the best attacks in Serie A.

Roma can rely on the defensive solidity for now, but the central players in attack must start to deliver more goals, with Zaniolo and Eldor Shomurodov still without a goal domestically this season.

The Uzbek, who arrived for €17.5m is a back-up for Abraham and has helped made an impact off the bench but has not hit the target so far.

The former Genoa forward has not reached the level of Borja Mayoral, who had scored three times and contributed two assists at this point.
