Batistuta blast contradicts Capello
Fabio Capello's accusation that Liverpool are boring came back to haunt him when Gabriel Batistuta blasted his coach for playing him as a one-man attack.
Capello angered Phil Thompson by claiming Liverpool are like the infamous Inter Milan 'catenaccio' sides of the 1960's and 70's.
But now Batistuta claims his Roma form is being wrecked by Capello's tactics.
He said: "This season I have had so few chances.
"I don't know who I am and this is the worst moment of my whole career. I am making mistakes I never did before.
"[After the Liverpool game] I stayed at least half an hour in the changing room, looking down, with my head in my hands.
"I couldn't find any room to move in the middle of that defence. I was too isolated against four such big Liverpool defenders.
"I know as soon as I shoot that it could be my only chance of the game.
"But I do understand Capello's problems. Vincenzo Montella is injured and Marco Delvecchio is not in good shape."
