Monaco struggling

Last updated : 23 November 2004 By Al Campbell
While the Reds looked toothless against Middlesbrough on Saturday, Monaco have had the same problems for a while. It is two months since the French side last won a league game and a run of eight games without a win has seen them slip to sixth in the table.

The players are suffering from a lack of confidence with defender Sebastian Squillaci admitting: "No-one is playing well. Be it in defence, midfield or attack, we lack calm."

Goalkeeper Flavio Roma said: "I have no idea what's going on." while defender Gael Givet added: "We are not a team."
