MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – JULY 13: Ralph Hasenhuttl, Manager of Southampton /

Time to finish strong

The Saints have nothing to play for currently and it looks like they will finish somewhere between 10th-12th but that has not stopped them from playing every match like it’s the most important of the season. There are only 3 matches left this season and we might start seeing some rotation to the starting 11 but that does not meant his team is not going to push for all 3 points each match.

With Brighton, Bournemouth, and Sheffield left, Hasenhuttl has to believe they can take all 9 points from these three matches. 9 more points would put the Saints at 54 for the season and that would be their highest point total since that 15/16 season.

Ralph, has big plans for this club and the next step will be finishing in the upper half of the table and they will need to take every match seriously if they hope to achieve that next season.
