Southampton defender Jan Bednarek says the players have suffered over their managerial changes this season.
Now under Ruben Selles, Bednarek has seen Ralph Hasenhuttl and Nathan Jones sacked.
"High pressing and winning the ball is just one part of the game but there are many more, like ball possession, creating chances and set-pieces," Bednarek told the Daily Echo.
We lost our philosophy and consistency a little bit because of the changes. We didn't have one idea, one way of playing.
Because of the age of our team, that's caused a lot of problems. But there were many things that didn't help. We have a lot of qualities, but [haven't always been] able to show it.
But I think you can learn a lot from each of (the managers) and that's the most important thing. If you understand that, you can learn a lot.
Hasenhuttl gave me the opportunity in the Premier League and I'm really grateful for that. He was always supporting me.
"I think Nathan Jones was the one who tried to show how much he believed in us, how much he trusted us. Of course, it didn't work - but it was also a difficult situation for him.
"Ruben is also a great manager who has a lot of great ideas, a lot of great solutions. Tactically, he is very good and a very good person.
"As we can see, I think many aspects [have caused our] struggles at the minute but I can only say good things about all three of [the managers]. All of them have good abilities and it's important to listen and learn - to get better with these cultures."
