Palermo coach Walter Novellino demands an immediate improvement from his side following their 3-1 loss to Chievo on Sunday afternoon.
Sitting in 18th place, the Rosanero remain in dangerous territory as they are stuck in the relegation zone following the demoralising defeat.
“It was a game that we didn’t play so well in, even though we managed to equalise” Novellino told Radio Rai after the match.
“We lacked the final touch we have to improve on many aspects.
“Our position in the league hasn’t changed, but we had to take advantage of the moment and in particular we should have taken advantage of [Alberto] Gilardino and [Franco] Vazquez’s qualities.”
Vazquez picked up a late yellow card, ruling him out of next week’s match at home to Lazio, though Novellino believes his side can make an impact without their star man.
“We have to put this match aside,” he continued.
“Of course we will miss Vazquez, but we need to earn a positive result even without such a great player.”
