Roma boss Jose Mourinho was frustrated with his team in the aftermath of Roma’s 1-1 draw with Servette.

The Special One commented on the disparity between players like Cristante, Paredes and Mancini who always apply maximum level of focus to other players, mainly the ones off the bench, who continue to show a superficial attitude.

In his post-match presser, Mourinho admitted that he will have to further limit playing time for certain members of the team.

“If someone asks me to play more, I will answer that they will when the others are dead,” he told reporters as quoted in today’s edition of Corriere della Sera.
