Arteta praises Martin's side as they display an entertaining style and deserve greater success this season

The Southampton head coach is facing challenges since their return to the Premier League.

Martin stated he would stick to his attacking principles despite bad results, which Arteta commented on this week.

He stated to reporters: “I love that kind of behaviour. At the end you have to do what you feel. 

“He’s proven that his philosophy is very successful what he did with Swansea and Southampton. Last year I think they were 25 games unbeaten. It was a joy to watch that team play. The same with Swansea. That’s it. 

“From what I’ve seen they deserve much more than what they’ve had already. But this is the Premier League. The small details are so important to get the results.”
