Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini couldn\u2019t hide his frustration following his side\u2019s 2-1 away defeat to Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Second-half goals from Anastasios Douvikas and Diego Carlos cancelled out Donyell Malen\u2019s early, well-taken penalty. This kept the points lakeside and pushed the hosts back up to fourth in the Serie A standings, while Roma slipped down to sixth.<\/p>\n
In what was the Giallorossi\u2019s 10th defeat of the league campaign, Gasperini was particularly disgruntled by Wesley\u2019s second yellow card offence just past the hour mark. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Summarising decisively, the experienced manager told the media, \u201cWe paid for three things: the defensive error on the first goal, Malen\u2019s failure to pass to Pellegrini, which could have restored the lead. Then Wesley\u2019s red card, but I prefer to overlook that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This didn\u2019t last, however, as the coach reconsidered foul-winning scenarios: \u201cWesley didn\u2019t commit a foul; it\u2019s clear to see. He even moves aside to avoid Diao.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not the first time Como has had these situations. They\u2019re also attempted a bit too much. This is what football has become. We\u2019re involved today, and I won\u2019t go into the details, but I don\u2019t like it, and you know it. I\u2019ve spoken about these things before. In Genoa, there was a clear penalty that made us win 2-1. We\u2019re unlucky.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Clearly, another aspect for the 68-year-old, was freshness in the legs and ongoing absences in the Roma camp. He continued, \u201cWe\u2019re trying to recover injured players like Hermoso and El Shaarawy. When the opponents bring on fresh, quality players, we suffer.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThese guys are giving their all in a difficult situation. We\u2019re not doing well with these incidents. We have to hold firm now, but the championship is still long, and we hope to reap in April and May what we haven\u2019t achieved in these last few matchdays.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Roma\u2019s next match comes in the Europa League Round of 16, as they host Bologna in the second leg after an initial 1-1 draw at the Stadio Renato Dall\u2019Ara.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GIFN\u00a0|\u00a0Max Bradfield<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
