We need to keep going, says Romeu
Show/hide article…
Oriol Romeu feels Saints’ style of play is starting to click into gear after going six unbeaten in all competitions.
The Spanish midfielder has been an integral part of that success, as Claude Puel’s men continue to adapt well to the new system implemented.
But ahead of the international break, Romeu has warned that there can be no let-up if their rich vein of form is to carry on.
He said: “The feeling is good but maybe in the next game we lose and everything is gone again so we need to keep going and do the same every game.
“With Claude we are still learning and improving but so far it’s very good and we like to play this style, to have the ball and be the team managing the game.”
A strong defensive framework has seen an impressive six clean sheets in a row, something which Romeu says is owing to regular work on communication.
He added: “We had a big clean sheets record last year that gave us a lot of points as well and we need to do that again.
“It’s very good and, of course, in one of those games we could have conceded one goal but shows we’re defending very well and doing a good job.
“If we are defensively strong, we have quality up front and we know that the chances will come and the goals will come.
“We have to be constantly talking and giving messages to everyone. The centre-backs have to talk with the players in front and last year we did work to improve the communication and we’re doing the same under Claude.
“We’re doing that well trying to stop the players playing between the lines.”

Manchester United’s January transfer targets: Antoine Griezmann and Danny Drinkwater linked
Show/hide article…
Manchester United made a huge statement in the summer when they broke the world transfer record to re-sign Paul Pogba for £89m.
On top of that historic move, they spent a further £30m on Eric Bailly and £26.3m on Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while Swedish icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined the club on a free.
However, despite the high-profile arrivals at Old Trafford, United have made an indifferent start to the season.
Jose Mourinho’s men lost three consecutive games in September, including a derby defeat to Manchester City, before being held at home by Stoke in their last outing.
Even at this early stage of the season, United may already have their sights set on bolstering their squad with signings in January.
Here, thanks to Football Whispers’ unique algorithm, we assess four potential Manchester United transfer targets…
United’s quest for defensive solidity saw them bring in Bailly from Villarreal over the summer, though doubts remains over the quality of their other existing central defensive options. While the Ivorian’s combination of pace, power and aggression has seen him settle quickly to life in the Premier League, Chris Smalling and Daley Blind have both been tried out in the other centre-back berth.
Portugal international Fonte has frequently been linked to team up with compatriot Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford, and he could well provide the necessary experience to partner up with Bailly, who is still only 22 years old.
Fonte, 32, joined Southampton in 2010 for a just £1.2m and helped the club to two back-to-back promotions before establishing himself as a sound Premier League defender. Partnering the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Toby Alderweireld and Dejan Lovren, Fonte ensured the south coast club survived and then thrived in English football’s top tier.
While he may not be a long-term option, Fonte knows the league and has the ability to marshal the back line with his commanding presence, traits that could be ideal for a United side in need of added stability.
If United want a centre-back with greater pedigree than Fonte, there are few more appropriate candidates than Real Madrid captain Ramos. At 30 years old he is younger than the Southampton man and, crucially, he has achieved substantially more throughout an accomplished career.
With three La Liga, two Champions Leagues and two Copa del Rey titles to his name, Ramos has been an integral member of Real’s defence for the past 11 years.
Fonte was part of Portugal’s Euro 2016 winning squad but Ramos has enjoyed sustained success on the international stage, winning two European Championships and the World Cup with Spain.
Ramos is comfortable in possession, a trait that comes from his origins as a right-back. However, he has always had issues with his discipline. Indeed, last season he was Real Madrid’s worst offender, picking up seven yellow cards and two reds in just 23 league outings.
With that said, having signed a five-year deal in August 2015, a move to Manchester looks unlikely for Ramos, as reflected in the Football Whispers ranking.
Alongside N’Golo Kante, Manchester United academy product Drinkwater was the heartbeat of Leicester’s incredible Premier League triumph last season. Now with three England caps to his name, he could be on the radar of his old club as they look to reinforce their midfield.
United need a stable base in the middle of the park to allow Pogba free reign further forward, and, despite a number of encouraging performances, current options Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini do not appear able to provide this. A more defence-minded midfielder, Drinkwater’s endless stamina reserves and exceptional work ethic could complement the Frenchman well.
With six goals in as many La Liga games this season, Griezmann looks set to continue his outstanding 2015/16 form which yielded 32 goals for Atleti in 52 games and also saw him net six times for France at Euro 2016.
Fast, versatile and intelligent, his movement and precise finishing make him one of the most scintillating forwards in world football.
While his quality would not go a miss, it is difficult to see Griezmann as a priority signing when United already have similar players in the likes of Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata.
This, and Griezmann’s desire to remain at the Vicente Calderon, perhaps explains why Football Whispers’ algorithm does not envisaged the Frenchman moving to Old Trafford anytime soon.

Everyone loves a good stat don’t they? And often the more surprising the better.
And when it comes to shocking stats then there are rarely any more surprising than those which chart just how quick Premier League players are running.
Each and every year it seems as though that huge, lumbering centre-back you’d written off is actually quicker than that fast, nimble forward that everyone knows is lightning, and the latest batch of numbers for the current season is just the same.
So sit back, don’t run anywhere and prepare to be dazzled by these seven facts we’ve gleaned from the Premier League pace-setters.
