Southampton’s Premier League misery worsens after former player’s recent outing
Premier League matchday 25 is over. Again, it turned out to be a disappointing one for Southampton whose ex-star shined, while they lost to Bournemouth at home.
It’s that time of the season when the Premier League approaches its decisive stages. Sadly, even then, Southampton’s performances aren’t bettering off.
Following an elimination by Burnley, the Saints have been thrashed 1-3 by Bournemouth at home. And honestly, now it feels like only the opposition teams keep changing, never the Saints’ results.
Still, as if these defeats were nothing, Southampton’s fate is such that it never misses a chance to let down the fans further.
Guess what’s new? This time ex-Southampton star Charly Alcaraz shines on his debut start for Everton.
Southampton’s Premier League misery worsens after former player’s recent outing
It’s been mere weeks since midfielder Charly Alcaraz returned to the Top Flight, and what we feared has already happened. On a new stint at Everton, Alcaraz seems determined to go one step better in his Premier League journey.
Though having debuted days ago against Liverpool, Charly started his first game yesterday. And man, what a performance the Argentine has delivered for David Moyes’ Toffees side.
Up at Selhurst Park, Alcaraz was Everton’s best player. Firstly setting up teammate Beto for the go-ahead goal and then striking a match-winning finish, the 26-year-old stood out in the number 10 role.
Now, even if you are a staunch Southampton fan, you would appreciate this Charly performance.
Honestly answer, wouldn’t have you loved it if he still represented the Saints? Definitely, you would. Particularly, when the club’s attack force had only one name running yesterday, Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Given the midfield flair he brings to the table, Alcaraz could have proved decisive easily once again.
Still, for now, it’s just another dream for us Southampton fans.
In reality, prodigy star Mateus Fernandes is the closest option to former star Charly this season. Having stepped up numerous times so far, hopefully, he could very well be our own new Alcaraz in the future.
Southampton keeper Aaron Ramsdale was aimed at a lot yesterday. While he conceded 3 against Bournemouth on the pitch, he should be more impacted by Troy Deeney’s post-match remarks.
Remember the final week of the summer transfer window 2024? Southampton feels about to complete their window with a marquee move of ex-Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale.
Naturally, with the Saints bringing an English international for £18 million fixed, excitement is everywhere.
But fast forward to now, the move hasn’t yielded effective.
Don’t get me wrong, it has been a steal deal for Southampton given Ramsdale’s performances, but the 26-year-old must’ve been disappointed.
Definitely, a transition from being title contenders to relegation favorites isn’t easy after all.
Still, had it been till this, it would have been less shameful for Southampton. Surprisingly, now even pundits feel pity on Ramsdale’s choice to agree to a Saints move.
Recently, speaking to TalkSport, former Championship hero Troy Deeney felt concerned about him.

Being a critic of his decision to pick Southampton, Deeney said: “I think he’s made a real big gamble. Yes, he looks half good, but he doesn’t fill you with confidence that he can go on and kick and be in this England team, which is what he ultimately wanted to do.”
