‘Di Francesco let Roma down’

By Football Italia staff

Ex-England defender Rio Ferdinand claims Eusebio Di Francesco ‘let Roma down’ and questioned whether the Coach had even watched Liverpool play.

Not holding back in his analysis of Roma’s 5-2 defeat to Liverpool during Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg, Ferdinand felt Di Francesco was ‘fully responsible’ for the thrashing and set the Giallorossi up ’almost to lose’.

“I think the Roma manager has to take full responsibility for the result,” the former Manchester United man told BT Sport.

“It’s not often you sit here and say a manager is at fault completely for a team’s performance.

“I think today he let his players down, the way he set them up. He set them up almost certainly to lose this game, the way they played – a high line at the back against a team that play quick football.

“I question whether he’s even seen Liverpool play this season, the way he set them up.”
