Roma coach De Rossi frustrated with Napoli draw; critical of squad options

AS Roma coach Daniele De Rossi was left frustrated after their 2-2 draw with Napoli.

Tammy Abraham struck late from a corner to earn Roma the draw.

"We drew, it is not a result to throw away, but it is not the result or the performance that we wanted. Napoli are a very strong team, we lack some sharpness at the moment, but we've got to be smarter and cleaner on the ball," De Rossi told Sky Italia.

At times you can steal the ball off Napoli, but we then gave it back again too many times. Napoli had a lot of chances the first half, we did better in the second, but we have to do better.

This team was built without many players who are good at holding the ball in midfield, so it's very different when Leo is missing. Having said that, we still ought to do better.

Look, we are tired, but we cannot start thinking that we're tired and that means we can be embarrassed in the final few weeks of the season. We've got to get on our feet and keep going, because there are many more big matches to be played."

He added, Possession is not the issue, it's about what you do when you have the ball. We weren't the best version of ourselves, but I wouldn't say we were that bad either and that goes for Mancini too. It's not easy for him, as he plays all the time, even when he's not in perfect condition."
