Speaking to BT Sport after the game the German lamented his team’s mentality once they had been pegged back. He said:

“Obviously we struggle with our focus and with the consistency in matches, it’s not enough to play 20 minutes good. We did the same in Leeds.

“One thing goes against us and then we struggle to find answers and fight our way back. Things don’t go in our direction today and we started to struggle and adapt so the situation got out of our hands.

“I think it doesn’t take a lot to beat us. This is what I don’t like. We are humble enough to understand that we can lose football matches. But we don’t like it and then we try to win every match but the way we do this by changing as fast as possible.”

The former Borussia Dortmund boss lamented the team’s struggles in front of goal against Southampton but conceded it was not a new issue.

“It’s a reality,” the 49-year-old said when asked if he was frustrated that Sterling was the only one scoring.

“It has happened to our offensive players many times. I think in the first 20 minutes we created chances, half chances, but we struggled to score which is also not brand new for us. The consequence is that you end up losing the match.”
