'I'm lost for words'

Southampton forward Adam Armstrong speaking to TNT Sports following their defeat: "It's a tough one to take. At this level you get cut open quite easily and we got punished straight away. It's hard to put into words really. We weren't good enough, it's as simple as that. You try and get the group going again at half-time. We gave everything when we came out second-half but it's just one of those nights - not good enough."

On what went wrong: "We just got punished in the wrong moments. When to press and when not to. They cut us open a few times and the first goal was 40/50 seconds which just isn't good enough at this level. We've seen how brutal this league is and once you're cut open it's just hard to stop them. I've got nothing else to say really it just wasn't good enough from all of us.

On whether there was enough instruction from the bench: "We were there to do a job and we set up to do a job. It was just one of those nights it just didn't go our away. The lads gave everything throughout the second-half. I'm lost for words. It's a tough one because you can't start that bad in any sport and we got punished."

On whether the confidence has taken a hit: "You could say that. It's not easy when you're bottom of the Premier League. Confidence comes from wins and that's something we're not doing at the minute. I can't fault the lads, we give it everything every day to earn why we should be here. We don't want to take it for granted. We work hard every day and nights like tonight we got punished.

"I've said in previous interviews the Premier League is the best in the world and when you're coming up against these teams it's tough. I've got nothing else to say it's a tough one for me and the team. We have to move forward and take everyday as it comes."
