As per GiveMeSport, Southampton ranks third in the list of longest winless streaks in English Top Flight. Just better than Derby County and Sunderland, the Saints had gone a disappointing 22-game winless between 2022/23 and the current season.

Notably, 13 of them had come during their relegation season and 9 in their initial games this season. It was finally after a win against Everton that they could halt their tally further.

But while that win saved the Saints from even more humiliating numbers, their season woes remain the same. In fact, that was one of their two wins this Premier League campaign.

Tell me, doesn't it hit hard as a Southampton fan that the club has had the same number of wins as managers in the 2024/25 season so far? For once a respected Premier League club, it surely does.
