Roma fans are becoming increasingly impatient with striker Tammy Abraham following his slow start to life in Italy after the club splash out big to get him from Chelsea in the summer, Owosports.com.ng reports.
The striker who was rated poorly by Italian sports papers was subject to ridicule after being booed by some Giallorossi fans after being replaced by his manager José Mourinho in their 2-1 loss against Milan.
Abraham has only scored four goals in 15 appearances across all competitions with Roma this term.
He netted his last goal more than a month ago in Roma’s 3-0 win against Zorya Lugansk.
The former Chelsea striker received low ratings from Italian sports papers this morning. He was replaced during the second half of Roma’s home loss to Milan last night.
‘It’s the first time that Abraham is replaced in a technical substitution,’ wrote Il Corriere dello Sport.
‘He had been so harmless that he convinced Mourinho to replace him.’
The Rome-based paper also highlighted how a few Giallorossi fans booed their striker while he was leaving the pitch, making room for Stephan El Shaarawy, who would net Roma’s only goal of the game.
Abraham was rated 4/10 by Il Corriere dello Spor and 5 by La Gazzetta and Tuttosport.
La Gazzetta dello Sport warned Roma that ‘it’s difficult to get far without a prolific striker’ while Il Corriere della Sera suggested that the Englishman’s performances have dropped since he suffered an ankle injury on international duty with England last month.
