Roma coach Eusebio di Francesco was left frustrated after their 2-1 defeat to Atalanta.
The Giallorossi were 2-0 down to Andreas Cornelius and Marten De Roon, only getting a goal back through Edin Dzeko after De Roon had been sent off.
“We started well for 10 minutes, then fell apart and lost our confidence after going a goal behind. That mustn't happen, because if you are playing for Roma, you should have the belief to keep going and hold your head up high," the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
“I didn't like the performance at all, above all for the attitude, but then at the moment we are finding it really difficult to put the ball in the net.
“We have certainly taken steps backwards lately. We all have to accept responsibility and use this break to recharge the batteries, both physically and psychologically, because we cannot be the team that we've seen lately.
“In big clubs, you need the most representative players to also lead the others. We must keep pushing, as we've done some important things, but absolutely cannot rest on those laurels.
“We must learn from the mistakes we are making lately and bring out that bit more determination that we need to make situations go our way."
