Lazio: Guendouzi criticizes Tudor; Tavares makes debut
Tudor's tactics questioned
Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has criticized manager Igor Tudor's tactics following the team's 2-0 defeat to AC Milan on Sunday.
Guendouzi, who joined Lazio from Arsenal in the summer, said that the team was too defensive and that Tudor's tactics were not working.
"We played too defensively against Milan," Guendouzi told Sky Sport Italia. "We didn't create enough chances and we didn't put enough pressure on their defense."
Tavares makes debut
Guendouzi's comments came after Nuno Tavares made his debut for Lazio in the match against Milan.
Tavares, who joined Lazio on loan from Arsenal, played at left-back and was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing performance from Lazio.
The Portuguese defender was solid defensively and also showed some good attacking instincts, getting forward to support the attack on several occasions.
Lazio's struggles continue
Lazio's defeat to Milan was their third in a row in all competitions, and they have now failed to win in their last five matches.
The poor run of form has seen Lazio drop to ninth place in the Serie A standings, and they are now 10 points behind leaders Napoli.
Tudor is under increasing pressure as a result of Lazio's poor form, and he will need to turn things around quickly if he wants to keep his job.
Conclusion
Lazio are in a difficult position at the moment, and they will need to find a way to improve their form quickly if they want to achieve their goals this season.
Tudor is under pressure, and he will need to make some changes if he wants to keep his job.
Tavares' debut was a positive sign, but he will need to be given more time to settle into the team before he can be judged properly.
