Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini admits they must be sharper in front of goal.

Gasperini lamented their weekend defeat to Bologna.

“This is football, it happens. Bologna are in a great period of form, we played well and didn't take our chances, then this goal was conceded on a corner," Gasperini told Sky Italia.

“We've been on the losing end in these situations too many times, so evidently we have a problem defending on set plays and many of the points we dropped were in these scenarios.

“We have more corners in favour than against generally, so we ought to be better at this. Perhaps in a match situation, it's not the same as in training.

“When games are in the balance, a dead-ball situation can make the difference. Just look at Roma, Juventus, Milan, they all use that kind of aerial power to find the breakthrough. We used to be good at it too, but recently we've been on the losing side of those battles and that penalises us.

“There were several good scoring opportunities today, but we must also look at the positive aspects, as it was a good performance. That only gives us even more regret to have lost."
