Downes 'acting like a petulant child' but it isn't 'a new phenomenon'

Flynn Downes' "attitude" has come under fire from Southampton manager Ivan Juric, but we wanted to know whether you would continue to leave the defensive midfielder out of the team.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Kev: Flynn Downes has acted like a petulant child, if what Juric says is correct. In life and work we all have situations which we are unhappy about, but we are paid to do a job. If we don't like it and are unable to leave, we have to carry on and work hard and prove ourselves. If we all took Downes' attitude, we would be sacked. Stop being an idiot, knuckle down and try to help the team at least restore some pride in one of the worst seasons in Southampton's history!

Antoine: He should have gone to Ipswich when he had the chance.

Kris: This isn't a new phenomenon - an underperforming player thinks the grass is greener elsewhere, won't take responsibility and agitates for a move. The club would be better off without him. He should have been red carded for his elbow to Morgan Gibbs-White's face and they looked a lot better when he was substituted. Well done Juric, no time for divas.

Noah: I personally think he is a great player and we really need someone like him. We should definitely keep him until 2026 and then go from there.

Lee: Yes, absolutely he should leave. His performances on the field have been below par and, at this point, all of the players should be doing whatever it takes for the club. If you don't like it, move on.
