During the game, the commentator made a mention of Southampton’s home form as it was pointed out that since December, Leicester City has managed to win more games at St Mary’s than the hosts themselves. Mark Hughes’ side has looked bereft of ideas offensively and frail defensively. The Englishman has failed to lift his Southampton side as he is consistently found out tactically by his opponents. There is a very serious risk that Saints might get relegated this season.

There was a time when Southampton’s management continued to unearth unpolished gems both in terms of playing and managerial personnel. Both have been repeatedly poached away from the club and the Saints are paying a price for the same. It is about time that Southampton put together a core of players and appoint a manager with a long-term vision as the current manager looks like he might be first managerial casualty this Premier League season.
