Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri had mixed emotions after their amazing 4-4 draw with Udinese on Thursday night.
The Romans were 3-1 down before fighting back to earn the point.
"We conceded the equaliser on a free kick that was blatantly awarded to the wrong team, because Soppy clearly held him with an arm," Sarri told Sky Italia.
“Our first half was chaotic, probably still affected by the disaster against Napoli. We got back to 3-3, were down to 10 men, then when they had a red card we took the lead 4-3 and the game seemed to be over.
“There are negative and positive aspects from the game. I am satisfied with the reaction in the second half, we showed character and the desire to get back into it, whereas in the first half we had no idea what was going on.
“The trouble is, we shouldn't need to keep reacting to setbacks. We should have consistency in our performances, approach and focus. Instead, we have some games where we are just totally running on empty. It's about being mentally switched off."
He added: "We still have a lot of difficulties. Every now and then it looks as if we have absorbed certain concepts, then the next game is the total opposite. We cannot yet be truly defined as a 'team.'
"We need to do something on the transfer market, that's undeniable."
