Maybe, but in the
eyes and mind of its Manager Ronnie Koeman, that’s not the point and he’s
becoming a bit worried about his club performances in the remainder of the
campaign.
After a red hot start
this campaign, the Saints started performing and took by surprise the league
top positions and starting making many headlines with their aggressive style of
football.
Remember this squad
was molded and formed by its former skipper Mauricio Pochettino who left and
infused a winning mentality into this squad.
Very well a squad
after seeing an exodus of players to other entities, still it prevailed and
with its academy, being an important center point for its overall success.
With a start that has
seen this squad occupying the second sport of the table behind Chelsea and
making netting important wins for such results.
Recently the
Southampton boys are suddenly involved in a four game losing skid and giving
away important matches that cost this squad dearly.
Although the campaign
is not lost or over yet, the upcoming winter market can be a sort of
distraction to many players that are being sought by the big guns of the EPL.
Still Premiership is
one contested event and with many of the big guns and the resurgent ones moving
up in the table, the Saints are starting to give some inches of its ground.
I mean sliding into
fifth place and with 26 points in the table unexpectedly after losing four back
to back matches and among one of them with a modest Burnley squad.
Very well putting
this club mettle and its current football philosophy into a big test, this
failed its initial eleven radically after not performing on a one to one basis.
Initially this club was
put on a big test that failed horribly- by losing key matches with so called
big guns of Premiership in the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester
United.
Possibly as the
Saints desires to compete for the top spots in the table and netting a position
into the prestigious Champions League, there will be no more excuses of mediocre
play.
Something that its
current Boss Ronnie Koeman will have to sort and find answers in an immediately
way to stop his squad debacle before it’s too late.
At the end for more prayers
are poured in by the Saints supporters, if its skipper doesn’t correct many of its
weaknesses seen lately.
This club can fall
into the league abyss if corrections to wasteful playing and a lack of
definition that translates to a fracases and hence the latest results for the
Saints, hopefully things get better at Saint Mary’s if not what a shame.
