Koeman Speaks Of The Fine Lines Between Failure And Success In The Premier League Saturday, 19th Dec 2015 08:41 Speaking ahead of this afternoon visit of Tottenham Hotspur, Ronald Koeman has spoken of how in this season's Premier League the margin between success and failure is smaller than ever. “I think to win the title, to win the Premier League, you don't need that number of points what normally you need, and maybe that's the same in the bottom of the league, relegation is more teams because we are so close to each other in the table. “In two weeks you can be there, in which position you like to be, but if you don't win and you get three in a row that you lose, then it's a different world.” It seems a lifetime for Saints fans at present, but the reality is that Saints poor form is only four Premier League games and Koeman is now urging his side to re focus and concentrate on getting back to wining ways after a narrow defeat at Crystal Palace. “Of course it was a disappointing result, and more disappointing results in the last few weeks, and that gives always a little bit more pressure to everybody,” “We play a lot in the next three games we have until the end of the year. “We play a lot of our ambition, we play for a position on the table what we like, and it isn’t the position that we are now at this moment. “Of course, we speak, we have good training sessions, but everybody needs to realise that we play for a lot this Saturday and we have to improve. “Maybe some lack of confidence, but still we can play good football, still we create chances. “The productivity is not good enough.” “Sometimes it’s difficult, because it’s impossible to explain everything what happened in football. “I think we are struggling in scoring goals, I think our opponents see us in mistakes defensively, and it’s close. “The whole team performance, every individual performance of the players, is a little bit low than what we expect, and what we can show, and I hope I explain now why.” Football is a simple game and for Saints the way back to winning ways is simple, score more goals and cut out the errors at the other end, if Saints can do that then they should move back up the table.
