Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has criticised the professionalism of Michael Obafemi whilst explaining why he has not featured too often for the Saints so far this campaign.
Hasenhuttl slams Obafemi
Hasenhuttl was asked about the Ireland youth international during his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash against Newcastle on Friday.
When asked about Obafemi's situation, he said:
"The problem with Michael was always he would play one good game and then fall back a little bit and was not professional enough to force or keep his position in the team or in the squad. "This makes it too easy for others to go above him. I think this is what he must learn. "Once he is in the squad, don’t give it away so easily and try to be aggressive and dangerous in front of the goal. "I think this is something he misses, but he’s young, he still has to learn a lot and this is a kind of mentality but is also a kind of quality."
