Former Watford captain Troy Deeney delivers a scathing critique of Southampton's performance and atmosphere after their latest defeat, calling them 'really, really bad' and labelling the club's environment 'toxic'. He singles out Jan Bednarek for criticism, claiming he could still outpace the defender despite being retired. Deeney also expresses concerns about the future of James Ward-Prowse, questioning his Premier League aspirations if Southampton are relegated.
Troy Deeney launched a scathing critique of Southampton 's performance and labelled the club's atmosphere 'toxic' following their dismal defeat to Bournemouth . Deeney, acting as a pundit for Sky Sports, was particularly harsh on Southampton defender Jan Bednarek , claiming he could still outrun the Pole despite being retired from playing. 'They are really, really bad. I'm sat here. I've got my wife and my son who came today, as we spent Valentine's day down here yesterday.
So, when you think about it, a five-year-old who's not very up-to-date on football, he can't see anything that they're doing. “And I'm sitting here as an adult who's been around and understands the game. I can't see where they win. I think they will win a game, but I can't tell you how they're going to win that game or where the goals are going to come from.' Southampton's early defensive lapses allowed Dango Outtara and Ryan Christie to score twice in as many minutes, effectively killing the game as a contest. Kamaldeen Sulemana's late goal offered a glimmer of hope, but it was ultimately not enough to prevent a heavy defeat. The former Watford captain described the situation at St. Mary's as 'toxic,' pointing to a disconnect between the board, ownership, players, and fans. He also questioned the future of England international midfielder James Ward-Prowse, suggesting his desire to play in the Premier League next season might be jeopardized if Southampton are relegated.'I feel really bad for Southampton fans. I sat around a lot of them today, having a lot of talk, but I just don't see where they're going to get anything from. “There's nothing here now to build. And again, I'm not calling for the manager to be sacked because that's not right, but I'll put a hundred quid on it that he's not a manager by the end of the season.” Deeney's analysis painted a bleak picture for Southampton, who remain firmly rooted at the bottom of the Premier League table with only nine points. Their precarious position suggests a struggle to avoid relegation and a potential return to the Championship at the end of the season.
