Lazio supremo Claudio Lotito has vehemently blasted his side for their miserable showing against Juventus yesterday.
After last season’s shock third-placed finish, the capital club have come crashing back down to earth and are languishing in the bottom half after losing 5-2 in Turin.
While Lazio’s thoughts may be on the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter and a possible route into Europe, Lotito has made it clear that their performances haven’t been acceptable.
“I hope that the players give their all in their remaining matches and show commitment and determination because otherwise appropriate measures will be taken,” Lotito roared.
“”What happened yesterday was tantamount to inappropriate behaviour and everyone’s place is under consideration.
“I don’t accept that the team can go on holiday and show no attachment to the shirt or respect for the fans.
“Our team can compete on a par with anyone and I don’t think we deserve our League position, but the fact that we are losing to small teams shows that we aren’t approaching games in the right way.”
There is increasing speculation that Coach Delio Rossi will be the first casualty this summer, despite Lotito’s insistence that he will be on the bench for the 2008-09 campaign.
