Ranieri rues lack of cutting edge against Napoli

After seeing his side go ahead against Napoli on Sunday afternoon, Claudio Ranieri was disappointed to walk away empty handed, but nonetheless praised his team for their display.

Speaking after the match, the coach said: “It’s a shame about the result today because we put in a really good performance. We needed to be more clinical, more precise, because we had some excellent chances to put this game to bed.

“We have to bounce back. We need to react by picking up points. We need to fight for every ball.

“They made their changes – [Hirving] Lozano and [Andrea] Petagna came on and they changed the flow of the game. I’m very disappointed to lose, but I’m pleased with the performance. We need to react by picking up points in these games between now and Christmas.”
