The site romaforever.it, covering Italian football, evaluated the game of Roma players as follows.

SVILAR – 6:
The Serbian goalkeeper did everything he could to save his team. However, there was no chance to stop the shots from Lookman and Sulemana.

CELIK – 6:
Despite having to face the opponent's most dangerous player, Lookman, Celik did not commit any major mistakes throughout the match.

MANCINI – 6.5:
Although he suffered a muscle injury at the beginning of the match, Gianluca overcame the pain and provided great help to his team. He played actively and flawlessly. However, it was not enough to keep a clean sheet.

NDICKA – 6:
The experienced defender struggled early on to stop the opponent’s playmaker, De Ketelaere. But as time went on, he handled the task very well.

RENSCH – 5.5:
Ranieri gave the Dutch player a chance to prove that he is worthy of the starting eleven. Rensch could not take advantage of this opportunity. It was this defender who made the crucial mistake in the moment when Lookman scored the first goal.

CRISTANTE – 7:
Bryan Cristante, who has become a universal player, scored with a header against his former team. But the goal was not enough to avoid defeat.

KONE – 6.5:
Played very actively. Showed that his physical condition is at a high level. Was brought down inside the penalty area. However, VAR officials overturned the awarded penalty.

ANGELIÑO – 6:
Played to his standard level. In some moments, due to haste, he could not make the most out of the situations.

SHOMURODOV – 6:
Showed the hunger and energy necessary for a striker. With his hard work, he earned himself a spot in the starting lineup. Eldor demonstrated that dedication, desire, and constant movement can be more valuable than famous names. In the match against Atalanta, he also created a very good chance for a teammate to score. But Kone wasted the opportunity created by Shomurodov and failed to put the team ahead.

DOVBYK – 5:
This time the Ukrainian striker remained in the shadows. He was unable to contribute to his team. Dovbyk, who was La Liga's top scorer last season, was expected to deliver much more. However, he lacked determination.

SULE – 6.5:
The young Argentine attacking midfielder plays similarly to his famous compatriot Paulo Dybala. It was from his perfect pass that Cristante scored against his former team. However, in the rest of the match, Sule couldn't create any more goal-scoring chances.

Eldor Shomurodov’s performance against Atalanta:
Despite the loss, Eldor received a positive rating for his dedication, activity, and ability to create dangerous moments.
