AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia was left frustrated by their stalemate with AC Milan.
The Giallorossi end 2014 with a three-point gap separating them from Serie A leaders Juventus.
"I do consider this a step back and two dropped points, but even if we had the chances to score, perhaps we didn't have enough opportunities and were lacking creativity without Miralem Pjanic," Garcia told Sky Sport Italia.
"We must also say there was a clear handling offence on our corner. Even then, we should've done better against an ultra-defensive Milan tonight."
