Orlando: Mourinho to blame for Roma derby defeat

Former Fiorentina midfielder Massimo Orlando says Jose Mourinho is to blame for Roma's derby defeat to Lazio.

Mourinho criticised Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri in the aftermath, but Orlando says he only has himself to blame.

Orlando told TMW Radio: "Congratulations Sarri, he played the game he had to play.

"It came from a defeat, he lacked two fundamental players. I am critical of Mourinho. He is a phenomenon. but Roma had 70 minutes to catch up.

"Roma don't play football, they live on episodes, they never have someone who sets them up, they are too predictable, they are scholastic.

"You can't say that (Paulo) Dybala is missing, at this moment everyone is missing important players."
