AS Roma striker Andrea Belotti admits their position isn't good enough after defeat at AC Milan.

The 3-1 loss leaves Roma in ninth place.

Belotti later said: “It is clear that we are struggling, because when you come off certain defeats, you cannot be happy or relaxed. We lost the derby and there is a great deal of frustration at the way that went.

“I do think the team had a good approach and organisation tonight, but when doing quite well and going behind, that knocks the wind out of your sails.

“When we conceded the second, we raised the tempo and were open to taking more risks, then once we scored the penalty I genuinely felt like we would equalise. Unfortunately, the third put an end to that.

“We are seeing small details can make the difference in otherwise good performances. When you have six days to prepare a match, that makes a big difference, as often we barely get to train at all.

“Now we have some time to get sorted out physically and mentally, but also to try out some tactical movements on the training ground. We feel like we hit rock bottom right now, but it does mean the only way is up."
