Lazio did play badly in the last 5 matches, dropping a lot of points in the previous few games means Lazio now be in 9th position. And this is of course not a good thing, I agree against Genoa, Lazio should be able to win easily. Because we know Genoa are in the relegation zone and are only able to win once in 17 matches.
Problems of Lazio are they depend to much on Ciro Immobile for goals. He is a good striker and very productive in recent seasons. One of best strikers in Serie A but Immobile is not at same level of Totti, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Vieri in the past. He can score many goals but he can miss so many opportunities.
Lazio will climb up again after they end this mini crisis but Lazio will be like Roma, they won't be able to join top 4 of Serie A in this season. Their resources are very limited and can be broken if some of key players are out of games.
I agree Lazio are relying too much on Immobile to score goals, when Immobile is not at his best, Lazio became difficult to score goals. Immobile is
a good player after all, but not among the top players who can raise the morale of teammates. This is one of the reasons why Lazio's performance is
so inconsistent, Lazio could beat Genoa, but there is a possibility that Lazio will lose points against Venezia. If we look at Lazio's performance so far,
I also doubt Lazio can enter the top 4. So it's possible that Lazio will be in 5th or 6th position at the end of this season, meaning Lazio's performance
this season is not much different from the previous season.
