Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini was left frustrated after victory at Udinese.

Udinese had Maurizio Domizzi and Emmanuel Badu sent off as Inter won through goals from Mauro Icardi and Lukas Podolski.

"I don't understand why after two red cards some of my players stopped and just passed the ball around meekly," Mancini told Sky Sport Italia.

"I don't get how we played much better with 11 men against 11 than 11 against nine. We will have to talk about this, because it's unacceptable that we could put this result at risk.

"Sometimes the team just doesn't think. They have brains and need to use them. Once Badu was sent off, four or five of my players started acting as if this was a training session or a summer friendly. It's unacceptable.

"The team played, Udinese are in great shape and proved that against Milan. I thought we did really well until the dismissals. I did not like the attitude and we are not a team who can afford to behave like that.

"We got into situations where there were three or four players clear on goal and we started passing them to each other, like gentlemen saying 'you score, no you first' and then risk conceding the equaliser on a corner."
