Skipper Vidic has returned the squad but so far has not replicated his world-class form that made him the best centre-back in Europe by a long margin. And he has now urged his fellow players to focus on their defensive abilities, or they could fail to win

Speaking to reporters, the centre-back said that the game against the Saints was tough, but the team needs to improve quickly if they are to challenge for the Premiership title this season.
"It was a difficult game and we conceded two goals we're not happy with at all. We've been told before the game what Southampton's strengths are, what their game is and what they're trying to achieve. In the end, they did it so it's disappointing. I think
it's only the second time in a year myself and Rio have played together so it's a long time and obviously it's tough as everyone needs more games.”
