Swansea City manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup, thinks that the Saints won’t be an easy pushover for his side, when they visit the Saint Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.
The South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 outfit will go head to head against an out of sorts Southampton, who are currently entrenched in the relegation zone.
Nigel Adkins men have marked their return to the English top-flight with a worst possible start, managing just 4 points out of 10 games. During this period, they suffered 8 defeats and have shipped 28 goals.
Consequently, the boss at the Saint Mary’s Stadium, Nigel Adkins, is feeling the heat, with the clouds of uncertainty looming over his head over his possible future at the club.
According to some reports, the Saints owners are contemplating relieving the Englishman of his duty, and he has been given a stiff deadline to revive the team’s position.
Keeping in view what is at stake for the Hampshire-based club on Saturday, the 48-year-old Dane believes that the Saints will come out all guns blazing in order to secure a victory.
He explained that all the players will be motivated to come up with a solid performance in order to save their manager’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. Also the fact that they will be playing at home will make their visit all the more difficult.
“These players want to win for him so he can stay because if another manager comes in they don't know what might happen,” he told the reporters.
“So we can expect a very, very motivated team from the first minute. Southampton really need points. They will look at their next two games, against us and QPR, and say 'these are the game where we have to have something.”
“We know what we can expect. It's an away game and they will really put pressure on us.”
The Swans have thus far experienced a topsy-turvy campaign. They currently occupy the eleventh slot on the table, having bagged 12 points.
Laudrup went on to say that his side will need to chalk off a couple of away wins if they are to meet their desired targets for this term, and wants them to make the Liberty Stadium an impregnable fortress.
