Napoli coach Rino Gattuso felt they could've done better for their 3-1 defeat to Inter Milan on Monday night.

Gattuso says they paid for making too many unforced errors.

He said, “We have to start moves better from the back and not make mistakes, as once again we allowed ourselves to get caught out through the middle four or five times and that is so avoidable.

“We kept leaving big gaps in the centre and it's something I need to figure out. Fabian Ruiz is a midfielder with immense quality, but we know he struggles to cover the spaces. Zielinski is more dynamic, so this is the situation.

“There is no coverage from the midfield for the defence, so one pass can split us wide open. We made changes and kept Fabian Ruiz stuck there in the deep role and things went better."

Carlo Ancelotti had said Napoli were struggling psychologically with being so far down the table.

“The fact remains, we practically scored the three goals ourselves. It's not easy to play at the San Paolo right now, the team is unaccustomed to being in this situation after several years of challenging for first or second place.

“I still feel we ought to do more in sniffing out danger. It's the third goal we conceded with a slip, as there were two against Parma, so maybe we need to check their studs too…"
