‘PUEL DESERVES TO STAY IN MIX’

MATT LE TISSIER believes Claude Puel deserves another crack at the St Mary’s Stadium

next season – but wants to see his mix ‘n’ match policy ditched.

The Frenchman (left) came within a whisker of leading the Saints to glory in the League Cup and were also kept busy in the Europa League.

Le Tissier says the workload should be less next season and believes Puel has done enough to stay in the job.

He said: “The amount of fixtures he’s had to prepare for hasn’t helped and there have been key injuries. Having said that, I’d like to see more consistency in team selection. Fans have been frustrated at times by what he has chosen.”
