Vincenzo Italiano was left bemused and questioning why his Bologna side do not seem able to put in a decent performance for two matches in a row after falling to<\/span> a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home against Milan<\/span> on Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Rossoblu were a defensive mess on the night and were soundly beaten after goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christopher Nkunku and Adrien Rabiot, two of which were of their own doing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can see how the action unfolded on the Football Italia Liveblog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking<\/span> to DAZN after full-time, Italiano said that he thought his players were looking confident in the build-up to the Milan clash, but believes that costly mistakes at the back are hurting his side, who have slipped down to 10th place in the table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy analysis is that we were very confident. We approached it well, but we don\u2019t seem to be able to put in two consecutive top-level performances,\u201d Italiano told DAZN after full-time.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately we\u2019re conceding goals at every slightest mistake. We\u2019re paying for every blunder. We were light at the back and they hurt us. We stayed in the game and tried to put them in difficulty, but we can\u2019t play well one game after the other and we have to work on that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The Rossoblu admits that for one reason or another, Bologna haven\u2019t been the same since their appearance in the Supercoppa Italiana final in December.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve lost a bit of brilliance and a bit of solidity from there. We\u2019ve been ourselves at times, but we can\u2019t have this lack of continuity in our performance or concentration. We have to be more careful.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe had a lot of enthusiasm for this game after the match against Maccabi, thanks also to the arrivals of the new players. We have time to put things back to how they should be, If we can find the key in these next three months, everything will be back in order.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Italiano was also asked if he expected to see more from the likes of Riccardo Orsolini or Santiago Castro.<\/span><\/p>\n He replied: \u201cIt\u2019s normal that every team has its key players to unlock games. Quality players make the difference and fix things for you when things aren\u2019t going well. We\u2019re playing in flashes, showing ups and downs, which isn\u2019t good. We have to find the balance and that is what makes the difference.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
