Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic admits that his team is ‘less brilliant’ than usual, and says he ‘understands’ the supporters’ unrest.
The Giallorossi are enduring indifferent form at the moment, which Alessandro Florenzi has described as a 'bad spell', during which Coach Rudi Garcia has been compelled to defend some of the refereeing decisions to have gone the way of his team.

Roma were whistled from the pitch after this midweek’s Coppa Italia win over Empoli, but Pjanic says he is not bitter.
“We understand the whistles, but the tifosi must also understand that in every game we always give everything we've got,” said the playmaker in an interview with Sky Sports.
“Even when we're not playing well, as was the case in the first half of the two games against Palermo and Lazio, the team came back and gave signals of strength to try and win the game.
“It's a period in which we're not as brilliant as usual. Maybe we have greater trouble winning matches, but the first half of the championship only just came to an end and we're five points from Juventus.
“Admittedly, though, we wanted to be closer. What happened just happened, but we're doing everything we can to find a solution on the pitch and we're working hard to fix the things that don't work.
“We had a lot of injuries, many matches, we didn't even have much of a turnover. But each of us wants to play all the time and prepares himself every week to take to the field.”
