Inter Milan legend Gianluca Pagliuca feels the team's experienced players are letting them down.

The Nerazzurri had put themselves right back in the title race with seven straight Serie A wins, but they've picked up just one point from the last nine available.

"The problem at Inter is the average age of the squad and their historical players who are not in form right now," the 1994 World Cup player told Radio Sportiva.

"I'll give you some examples - Lucio and Walter Samuel are in a lot of difficulty presently and goalkeeper Julio Cesar has made errors too.

"Inter will have to start again by getting those men back in form - they have to return to what they were before."
