Southampton legend Matthew Le Tissier feels they can be satisfied with the start to the season.

Four points from their opening seven fixtures leaves them 17th in the standings heading into Saturday's trip to West Ham.

"It has been tricky but it was always going to be tough with the fixtures we had," Le Tissier told PA Sport.

"I think we have acquitted ourselves quite well without perhaps picking up the points that some of our play has deserved.

"I don't think we deserved to lose to Manchester United at home and, while four points is not a great total, we're still not in the bottom three."
