Phillips warns Southampton: Don't take anything for granted | OneFootball

Southampton's players have been warned they risk slipping into the relegation zone.

In the 2004/05 season, Harry Redknapp's side were out of the bottom three in mid-March thanks to a Peter Crouch-inspired win at Middlesbrough.

They missed out on safety by only two points in one of the most tightly-contested relegation scraps in Premier League history.

Kevin Phillips one of only nine players to score 30 league goals in a season, told The Sun: “We had some good players then and shouldn't have gone down.

“But just because you've got good players, you can still get sucked in and get relegated. You can't take anything for granted. If Southampton want to learn anything from that season, it's that, yeah, they've got good players, but that doesn't mean anything.

“People can quickly come up from behind you and overtake you, if you don't perform. Hasenhuttl will know that."
