Roma are once again defeated at the San Siro at the hands of AC Milan, dropping to ninth place in the league.

The Giallorossi’s poor display caused the travelling fans to chant in unison at full-time, asking them to show more courage going forward.

The defeat was soon followed by a team meeting involving Mourinho – who was in the stands, serving his suspension – who confronted his players.

Today’s Italian media reports mostly seem to agree on the worst performers of the night such as Rasmus Kristensen – who made several costly mistakes at the back – and Romelu Lukaku – who was once again invisible due to a clear lack of service from his teammates.

Other players with negative rankings include Diego Llorente, Stephan El Shaarawy and Nicola Zalewski.

The only ones with a consistently positive score for last night’s display are Leandro Paredes (who scored the penalty to make it 2-1) and Zeki Celik.
