Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic frustrated with manager Claude Puel

Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic is frustrated over his treatment by manager Claude Puel.

He wants more respect from Puel — having been subbed in FIVE straight games.

The Serbia international said: “It's unbelievable that I was subbed again and we also lost.

“You can see statistically that we concede or lose when I've been taken off. I don't think this shows enough respect for me."

He insists he has been fully fit since returning from a nose injury suffered against Wales in November.

Tadic said: “This has happened a lot after my broken nose. The injury was a long time ago.

“I'm playing a lot and feel I'm important for the team — but then I leave the pitch.

“I feel good but he doesn't want to give me the chance for the whole match."
