Ghanaian forward Kamaldeen Sulemana has expressed concerns over Southampton’s overall performance following their 3-1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League.
The 23-year-old winger, who played in the match on Saturday, scored Southampton’s only goal, but he believes the team’s display was not up to standard.
“I think the coach was quite happy with the effort we put in. We gave our all, we created a lot of chances, but obviously, our quality wasn’t the best.”
Reflecting on his own performance, Sulemana admitted that he could have done better in front of goal.
“Me too, specifically, I think I had three shots, none of them was on target until the goal. I think I should do better personally, and we should take our chances better,” he stated, as quoted on the Southampton website.
He also highlighted the importance of winning second balls, acknowledging Bournemouth’s attacking strength and confidence.
“The game is based on second balls, and once [Bournemouth] pick up a couple of second balls, it’s quite dangerous with the attack they have and the confidence they have in the team. I think we were more direct [in the second half].”
