Roma boss Rudi Garcia was left concerned by the "negative" performance of his side after they missed the chance to narrow the gap on Serie A leaders Juventus by drawing at Chievo.
Gervinho spurned Roma's best chance as the away side enjoyed a majority of possession but were wasteful in attack.
"Today we were terrible, unrecognisable," Garcia said.
"Tomorrow we have to say what needs to be said to each other, but I expect some kind of reaction."
Chievo, 16th in the table, moved six points clear of the relegation zone while Roma stay second - eight points behind Juve.
"Sometimes you suffer defeats that leave you disappointed, but this draw was worrying. The extent to which we were negative stunned me."
Chievo's players celebrated a vital point at the final whistle, but the result was soured by an horrific injury to defender Federico Mattiello, who suffered a broken leg after a challenge with Roma's Radja Nainggolan.
Elsewhere, bottom club Parma played their first game since having to postpone two matches for financial reasons, holding 17th-placed Atalanta to a goalless draw.
Mauro Icardi scored an 87th-minute penalty as Inter Milan snatched a draw away to third-placed Napoli, Cesena's game at home to Palermo was goalless, Empoli and Genoa drew 1-1 while Udinese came from behind to beat Torino 3-2 at Stadio Friuli.
On Monday evening, Juventus can increase their lead at the summit when they host Sassuolo, while fourth-placed Lazio host fifth-placed Fiorentina.
