Sampdoria manager Sinisa Mihajlovic has admitted that he is disappointed with his players following their 1-1 draw against Juventus.
The Blucerchiati came from a goal down to take a point against the Italian champions, as Manolo Gabbiadini cancelled out Patrice Evra's first-half goal.
However, that was not enough for Mihajlovic as he lamented their fearful start to the contest.
"We suffered a lot in the first 30 minutes, as they were superior in technical and physical terms, while we stepped on to the field with fear," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We changed system and then played our game. It's disappointing, as if we play the way we know how, then we can be on level terms with anyone.
"Juve had won their last 25 consecutive home matches, so getting a point here certainly wasn't easy. We were fortunate to only be a goal down at the break and then did well to earn the draw.
"The result was not as interesting to me as the performance. If we had played like Samp throughout, then I would've been happy. For example, we drew with Napoli with a great performance and I was content, but the first 30 minutes today were terrible."
Sampdoria are currently fourth in the Serie A table, level with Lazio and Genoa on 26 points.
