Where there is success there is inevitably failure and week 8 also provided memories that some players will want to quickly forget.
 

Here out top 5 flops of the weekend:
 

There were many success stories from Cagliari’s win at the San Siro against Inter on Sunday; unfortunately striker Marco Sau was not one of them. A player that has so often been the inspiration for his team was way off the pace this weekend.
 

Playing at the tip of new coach Luigi Delneri’s Udinese team in Turin against the champions was always going to be a hard task. The 22-year-old Argentine was pretty ineffective in just about everything he did before he was pulled from proceedings in the second-half.  

Another Sunday, another Genoa dismissal; this time Darko Lazovic saw red in the goalless draw at home to Empoli. Two bookings in the opening 34 minutes put his side in extreme difficulty in a match they would have hoped to collect all three points.
 

Another player in the bad boys club this weekend was Pescara centre-half Andrea Coda. The 31-year-old dismissal on the stroke of half-time making coach Massimo Oddo’s interval talk all that more difficult.
 

His team’s first defeat at home since January and one that full-back Fabrizio Cacciatore will want to quickly forget. At fault straight after half-time for Niang’s goal to make it 2-0 to the visitors, a late yellow card when the match had finally slipped away, added insult to injury.
