I don't think they do! If they did, they wouldn't be in Europe!
Let me make the formation a bit clearer then. 4-4-2-0
infact they don't. in the last 3 seasons roma displayed a, extremely offensive 4-2-3-1, with 2 quality fullbacks constinuously pushing deep in the opponent's territory (and i'm not talking about riise, of course), 2 offensive central midfielders and 3 offensive midfielders\wingers moving around totti (who is the fulcrum of the team ).
they have shown the most attractive footie in europe in the last 3 years....(many people think arsenal did it..... but if u ask those people, u'll realise they haven't watched more than 4 or 5 roma matches in the last 3 years... so their opinion doesn't really count

).
now they're in shambles. they have 7 starters injured (some of them were forced to play, coz they just didn't have any options left)... totti has been out for months (he played his first match last week, if i remember well..... i mean, Riise played almost all roma matches so far this season.... this can give quite a good idea of how tragic their injuries situation is
moreover there are also some bigger issues than injuries lately: maybe some troubles in the dressing room... probably a serious lack of motivation.... new signings having troubles in adapting themselves (like julio baptista and menez).
they had their worst season beginning in the last 20 years so far.... they just lost 0-4 from inter last week...... in roma!.
right now they just can't play that amazing football they usually play... and considering how tragic is their situation.... and that they had to face chelsea at stanford bridge... well, u can easily understand why they showed such a frightened attitude on the pitch...
they aren't able anymore to play their football now, so they decided just to avoid to loose another match by 4-0 (wich, if they would have tried to play their football last night, would have been possible).
they just couldn't go back to roma wth another disgraceful loss.
a 0-1, against chelsea, at stanford bridge, considering all the injuries and all their issues... it's still a dignified result.
it was quite a poor match to watch but definitely it wasn't chelsea's fault
