Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is concerned about his team's lack of creativity, according to The Sun's Tom Barclay.
The Saints are still looking for their opening win of the Premier League season, having picked up just four points from their seven top-flight games to date.
How many goals have Southampton scored this season?
Hasenhuttl's men have delivered a number of respectable performances this term, earning draws against both Manchester clubs and West Ham.
However, they have had some major issues in front of goal. The South Coast club have only scored five Premier League goals - Norwich (2) are the only team in the top division to have found the net on fewer occasions.
Southampton's struggles in the final third have been costly, and leave them just one point above the bottom three as things stand.
What has Barclay said about Southampton's lack of goals?
Barclay acknowledges that Southampton need to score more goals, but feels that a bigger problem for Hasenhuttl right now is that his side are finding it difficult to fashion opportunities in the first place.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Barclay said: “The match that really worried me, I guess, was Wolves at home. I was at that game, and obviously it was a great story with Jimenez, with what he’s been through. But from a Southampton view, they really didn’t create very much, and Ralph does seem a bit worried about that.”

What can Hasenhuttl do to fix this problem?
The Austrian coach has tried changing the personnel in his starting line-ups, switching up his wide players and strikers on a regular basis. That has not seemed to make a great deal of difference, though.
Another option that he could be considering is tweaking his formation. He has exclusively played a 4-4-2 system this season, with his wingers high up the pitch, but it does not appear to be working.
Now club football is briefly on hold due to the international break, he may be taking this time to ponder whether a change in formation could benefit his team.
One possibility would be taking a forward out of the side and bringing in an extra midfielder. This could then allow Southampton to gain more possession during games, and they could try to create chances that way, rather than having two players up front failing to make much of an impact because they are rarely receiving the ball in promising positions.
