Me 109 compared to Soviet fighters' manoueverability

The Me 109G had similar dimensions, weight and wing loading as the Lavochkin and Yak fighters but why was its turning and rolling ability so much worse than theirs?
There are mostly accounts on the Messerschmitt's inferiority in terms of manoeuverability.
In general the Me 109 was not known as a turn fighter. Was its design so bad?
