Ivan Juric highlights jet-heeled winger's weakness denied FA Cup win | OneFootball

Southampton boss Ivan Juric looked frustrated after the 0-1 loss to Burnley. As per him, winger Kamaldeen Sulemana and others missed a few chances upfront, costing them the game.

Tell me honestly, haven't you fed up listening to Southampton's poor finishing issues? Still, only a little improvement can be seen till now.

Notably, the club's recent loss to Burnley was yet another game that highlighted this issue. Despite targeting the goal numerous times, the Saints' frontline looked clumsy to finish off chances.

Now had it been without their priority forwards, it still made sense, but it wasn't so. In fact, both Kamaldeen Sulemana and Tyler Dibling started in what became a humiliating elimination at home.

Talking of their performances, Dibling looked off-touch yesterday, while Sulemana lacked sharpness. But being Dibling's first game on injury return, it was Sulemana's lack of decisiveness that gathered the spotlight.

After all, had the in-form star converted his chances, the result might have been totally different. Understandably, post-match, boss Ivan Juric looked worried for Sulemana.

As per the Daily Echo, Ivan Juric speaking on his performance, said: "I think he's a little bit impatient at the moment, and he wants to do one-on-one in the situation that he has to play."

Now, factually, it isn't strange for wingers to prefer one-on-one situations themselves. And that's what Juric added, motivating the player for the season ahead.

In his words: "I think it's normal because he's really feeling good, he wants to do his best, and I'm sure that what I saw in the training, even today, he will score the goals."

Honestly, every professional dreams of this backing after a disappointing performance. Probably, it's this trait of Juric that has made him everyone's favorite already.

Yes, Southampton is eliminated from all cup competitions now, but why not see this as a perfect opportunity to learn? Hoping that Juric and his side take key notes from this loss for the remaining season.
