Inter coach Claudio Ranieri has expressed his dissatisfaction with the Nerazzurri's recent run of form in the wake of their 4-0 Serie A loss away against Roma on Sunday afternoon.

The Nerazzurri side have collected only one point from their last three league games, while they were eliminated from the Coppa Italia as well, and Ranieri has admitted that things will have to change at Inter.

"We cannot go on like this," Ranieri admitted in the post-match press conference.

"Roma put in a good performance and deserve praise. However, we simply did not do enough and were too weak.

"We have not performed to our strength in the past few weeks. We concede goals too easily and do not seem to be ourselves on the pitch.

"Obviously I still have believe in the team, but we have to rediscover ourselves. We have been dealt serious blows in the past and always managed to bounce back. We will do so again."

Inter currently sit fifth in the Serie A table with 36 points from 22 games.
