I don't think that our defenders are slacking off, it's just that they're not that good! We've conceded 18 goals this season, while Milan and Roma have conceded what? 6? 7? 8? It's not because our defenders are slacking off and their's aren't, it's because we have Ciro Ferrara and Paolo Montero. Roma have Walter Samuel and Cristian Chivu, while Milan have Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini. Having players that'll work their asses off for you is great, but you need a bit of class in there as well. We don't have that, the better European clubs do (excluding Real Madrid).
