There is little to comment about this.... Explanation: Or: There is little we can say in this case. We're bringing up the rear -- or almost. OR If we're not in last place, we're close to the bottom of the list. The "fanalino di coda" is taillight. Therefore, if this company is behind all its competitors, it's essentially in last place. |
