Falcao bemoans Monaco's 'terrible' start to the season

Radamel Falcao has described Monaco's start to the season as "terrible" after a 2-0 defeat to Saint-Etienne on Friday extended their winless run in Ligue 1 to seven games.

Last year's runners up have endured a torrid start to the campaign, with an opening day win over Nantes their only maximum points return.

"It's not just against St-Etienne, it's a terrible start to the championship," he told Canal+.

"We have not managed to be as effective as expected and we have not been able to defend in the best way.

"We cannot go on like that, we have to raise our heads because on Wednesday we have to go to Dortmund to get a good result."
