AC Milan's push for a top-four finish in Serie A took a hit on Wednesday as Gennaro Gattuso's side were held to an uneventful 0-0 draw at struggling Frosinone.
The seven-time European champions have now failed to score in four consecutive league games for the first time since 1984, managing three goalless stalemates in the process.
"To reach our objective of Champions League qualification we can't play the way we did in the first half," Gattuso told DAZN.
"I'm the captain of this ship, so it's only right that I take all the responsibility. It's important for me to understand how to make my players play their best, because right now they're performing below their ability.
"There's no calmness and they look nervous, that's what I need to think about. As for the rest, anything can happen."
