Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu wants consistency from the Saints following a roller coaster start to the season.

The Saints have endured a distinctly average start to their Premier League campaign so far and with the players having been booed off the pitch by the fans during the Saints' recent 1-0 home defeat against Burnley, Romeu has called for his side to bring about more consistency to their game in order to avoid shock results.

"We've got harder games coming up and it will be difficult to get points from that, but we don't want to say that's impossible," he said.

"If you ask me one week I can tell you we are very close and the next week we are too far away," he added, when asked how far away he believes Saints are from really clicking.

"The problem is not being consistent with our performances and that's what doesn't give us that improvement line we should get.

"We're not feeling we are doing bad performances but we would like to get more consistency in our games and in our style of play.

"We don't want to just have 20 or 30 good minutes when we are feeling good. We wish we could score two or three goals every game and be offensive. But we must stay on top of the game. Whether we're winning or losing we need to stick with our plan."
