Southampton manager Ruben Selles still appears to be getting acquainted with the nuances of the English language.

The young coach has been speaking with reporters about the team's chances of avoiding relegation.

With the club bottom of the Premier League, Selles was told his side were “drinking from the last chance saloon."

“I don't know what that means but the answer is I need to win the game, that's for sure," Selles responded with a smile.

The Saints are six points away from safety after Nottingham Forest won against Brighton in midweek.

Stats website Opta already has Southampton at a 90 percent chance of relegation.
