Southampton may not share the dejected appearance common among some of their peers but alarm bells are getting louder. This defeat, their fourth in the last five games, was troubling for its snug fit into the mould familiar to struggling teams: failure to capitalise on chances, followed by catastrophic defending and a subsequent loss of steam. Tottenham did not need to play especially well to win and Ronald Koeman, mentioned in connection with the Chelsea job earlier in the week, evidently has enough concerns closer to home.
