Paolo Vanoli admits it is \u2018frustrating to see the same mistakes made over and over again\u2019 by Fiorentina in a 2-2 draw with Torino, as their weakness in the air is becoming a problem.<\/p>\n

The Viola had managed to turn the game around after Cesare Casadei sprung the offside trap for a free header, as Manor Solomon\u2019s screamer and a Moise Kean effort put them in front.<\/p>\n

However, deep into stoppages Guillermo Maripan\u2019s glancing header on a Gvidas Gineitis free kick allowed Toro to grab a 2-2 draw at the Stadio Franchi.<\/p>\n

Vanoli tries to think positive for Fiorentina<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe desire to bring home a result at all costs can make you anxious. We knew that Torino had players who are very strong in the air, so we shouldn\u2019t have allowed them that free kick at the end,\u201d Vanoli told Sky Sport Italia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is frustrating to see the same mistakes made over and over again. We threw away points late on against Lazio, today we would\u2019ve deserved a victory and didn\u2019t take it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiorentina have conceded an astonishing 38 goals in 24 Serie A matches this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still say we are on the right track, but need to improve our defending. We cannot always start from a goal down, even if we saw a strong reaction from a great team today to turn it around,\u201d continued Vanoli.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must try to stay positive, as we\u2019re fighting to the end. It\u2019s a pity for the lads, who gave their all tonight, but we need to do more.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was an odd moment when Albert Gudmundsson limped off at the dawn of the second half, having seemingly sprained his left ankle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started to struggle in the final five minutes because we didn\u2019t close down their crosses from the right, we should\u2019ve pushed our own wingers up to keep them busy, keep it three against three,\u201d said the coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a season like this, but again today we created many chances, turned it around to lead, and until the final couple of minutes were in great shape to bring home the result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiorentina have conceded 10 goals this season from corners and free kicks, so what is the cause of that weakness?<\/p>\n

\u201cMore often than not, it\u2019s distraction and a lack of determination in stopping the crosses from coming in. We\u2019re working on dealing with set plays, but we again need to have a positive approach, get more communication between the players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe make na\u00efve mistakes and when you use up a lot of energy to fight back from those situations, it leaves you vulnerable at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Fiorentina director Fabio Paratici was in the stands, and the January signings are beginning to have a real impact, but they remain at least in the bottom four with this result, awaiting Lecce\u2019s game tomorrow.<\/p>\n
