Gabriele Cioffi was not satisfied with the one point earned after Sunday’s match against Cagliari. “We created lots of chances that we should’ve converted. Their first half goal cut our legs from under us. It’s hard to pin the responsibility on one person. Gianluca Gaetano made a great run and got his head under it perfectly. We shut off in the second half. We didn’t rise to the occasion despite the fact we had numerous chances to wrap the game up.
 
“Some of them were still in the changing room during the second half. We can’t have that. I sensed some doubt and doubt doesn’t allow you attack. Those who were subbed on did their job. It didn’t have as much of an effect as it should have. If we came back from Turin with a point and won today, then we’d be in the same situation. We shouldn’t pat ourselves on the back. We could’ve pushed Cagliari down and created some breathing room in the table.
 
“[Kingsley Ehizibue and Jordan Zemura] are playing well. They’re worrying Joao Ferreira and Festy Ebosele and that’s important. I thought they would maintained the same quality that they showed against Juve. The aim now is to bring three points home from Genoa.”
