da wazamba： Ralph Hasenhuttl is confident Southampton’s away form can keep them in the Premier League this season.
Southampton travel to Brighton this weekend in what is sure to be a hotly contested clash.
The two sides are separated by just three points, and a 3-0 win for the Saints would actually move them above the Seagulls on goals scored.
And Hasenhuttl, who has so far won six out of 17 games in charge, thinks it is these away trips that will make all the difference going down the stretch.
Former Wigan & Fulham man, Jimmy Bullard recently showed that he’s still got it! Check out the video below…
What did he say?
“I know that we’ve had a few very good results on away games,” Hasenhuttl said, as reported by Sky Sports.
“The last two against the big teams we also played well but we couldn’t take points. So it could be interesting not playing that good but taking more points.
“So for us the focus is on having a good performance, having a good stable defence and then I know that we can score always, also in away games.”
Au contraire
Hasenhuttl’s declaration that “I know that we can score always” must be music to the ears of fans who watched all the dross under Mark Hughes, but the boss is way off the mark if he’s looking at the club’s away games to keep them up.
After the home clash against Liverpool, the final three home games of the season are against Wolves and Bournemouth, who could both have nothing left to play for by that point, before a clash against Huddersfield on the last day, who are sure to be already relegated.
Quite simply, the gaffer should be looking at those three fixtures with nine points in mind, nine points that will take his side to within a point of that sacred 40-point marker.
The away trips meanwhile are to Brighton, Newcastle, Watford and West Ham, none of which are elite but all take great pride in making their home grounds very difficult to play in.
If Southampton are to stay up, it will be the goals at St. Mary’s that do the trick, not the wondergoals at places like Old Trafford.
