FANS CRY IN THEIR BEER
ORIOL ROMEU admitted Southampton “gave it away twice” after conceding two late goals.
New boss Ralph Hasenhuttl called the Saints’ first Premier League defeat this year a “disaster”, while captain Pierre Hojbjerg branded the performance “unacceptable”.
The Austrian’s reign began in December by buying free beer for Saints fans, but there were different boos at full-time on Saturday.
“We were close to the draw, but we gave it away twice so we didn’t deserve anything,” said Romeu (left). “The set-pieces was the thing we didn’t do well. We know how hard it is to come back.”
Southampton will now go on a training camp in Tenerife before facing Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham.
“We’re trying to get our heads ready as there are tough games coming,” added the Spaniard.
