Nathan Redmond has become a key component in Ralph Hassenhuttl ’ s revolution - but still finds himself throwing his boots in the dressing room .
Southampton midfielder Redmond , 26 , admits he is his own harshest critic and has already set himself high standards for the season ahead .
Redmond was a consistent performer last term , scored five goals but was hugely influential in their push up the table and yet he wants to be scoring more goals and providing more assists this time .
“ I think this season is about being that bit more relentless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and once one goes in then more will follow , ” said Redmond .
“ I ’ m not going about to perform for myself and myself only because I ’ m not a selfish player , but in those moments when I am in front of goal then I need to be a bit more clinical .
“ But I need to put the ball in the net , not miss chances and end up throwing my boots around in the dressing room !
” Redmond is a hugely likeable character , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charity to disadvantaged kids around the world and is approaching his fifth season at St Mary ’ s .
The younger players at the club look up to him but he jokes that he still sees himself as the “ middle child ” in a very British dressing room which has also taken to Hassenhuttl who oversaw a dramatic improvement last season .
That has raised hopes for a much more consistent campaign especially when Redmond clearly enjoys working with the Southampton manager and his adaption to become a “ false eight.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me , he doesn ’ t have favourites and everyone gets the same treatment whether it ’ s the hairdryer or not , ” said Redmond .
“ It took a while for his ethos to really stamp into us .
It took a while for us to learn from him bit I think he ’ d also say that he has learnt from us .
“ I think we have a very English or British squad and towards the end of last season we had about eight UK based players in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious we take the game and it ’ s been a nice balance , a successful and educational last couple of years .
“ I can improve everywhere .
There ’ s never a point where you stop learning because there ’ s always things you can improve upon , things you can take from the previous game , the previous season and football presents you with challenges every single day .

Lacazette's future has been up in the air with clubs across Europe keeping tabs on his situation at Arsenal but Arteta looks to have clarified his plans for the striker
Mikel Arteta says Alexandre Lacazette wants to stay and fight for his place at Arsenal despite transfer interest from other clubs.
The Frenchman has been linked with a move to Juventus or Atletico Madrid this summer after struggling to hold down a regular first-team place last season.
Eddie Nketiah's emergence has put increased pressure on Lacazette while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is poised to sign a new three-year deal at the club.
Lacazette still has two years remaining on his contract but speculation suggested Arsenal were prepared to cash-in on the striker now to fund other transfers.
However Arteta insists Lacazette is focused on staking a claim at Arsenal.

"He is really happy here," Arteta said at a press conference. "He wants to continue improving and contributing to the team.
"I know how good he is, the impact he's having.
"He knows about the competition he has as well with the front players so again he needs to demand himself to be the best striker at this football club the same as the rest and he was very happy to hear that and the way he's been training and conducting [himself] has been excellent."

EXCLUSIVE: Mirror Money has heard from innocent customers who have had their payments flagged on the back of a new 'confirmation of payee' service designed to block fraudulent bank transfers
Brits being blocked from sending or receiving money because their names are 'too long'

Mirror Money has heard from customers who have had their incoming payments flagged, simply because their names are 'too long'.
In other cases, customers say they've received warning signs when transferring money, despite the recipient's details being correct.

The problem

Until recently, you only had to enter the recipient's account number and sort code to make a bank transfer.
This gave scammers free rein to masquerade as a trusted account holder and trick customers into transferring money.
However, banks now you to verify the name of the person or business you're transferring money to before completing the transaction.
The safety measure - known as 'confirmation of payee' - was brought in to clamp down on push payment fraud, which cost the UK economy more than £455million last year.
In theory, it should be simple: If a customer enters the name of an individual or company as it appears on their bank account, a match – or a partial match – should be confirmed.
The trouble is, it's so secure that some customers are unable to send money without receiving warning signs that tell them to proceed at their own risk.
Some systems don't recognise spaces between initials, hyphenated surnames or '&' symbols.
Some require a middle name or a title, even when they are not included on bank statements, others have a fixed character limit.
Mirror reader Adam told us he was left in a "ridiculous" situation, with his small business suffering because his name contained more than 16 characters.
He is one of dozens of readers to be questioned about their identity as a result of the new name-matching system.
He said when customers tried to send him money, they received warnings that he may not be legitimate, despite his details being correct.
"I bank with Santander Business and my account name is quite long and my customers were calling me to say they couldn't pay me," he explained.
"I called Santander Business and they told me that my customers had to type my account name exactly, but when I pointed out they only allowed 16 characters in that field, and my account name was much longer than 16 characters, it was totally new information for them."
Santander later apologised to Adam, describing it as an "oversight".
"I know other self-employed people were affected as their business account name is often their full name plus name of company which already amounts to 20 characters or more.
"I was still having problems with people trying to pay me after a week after I raised the issue with Santander. They then suggested that I change my account name to less than 16 characters.
The issue has since been resolved, but as a result, Adam had to change the name on his account and update his details with all of his payees.
James Newman is currently experiencing a similar issue with Starling Bank.
The electrician from London said the problem occurs when transferring money from Nationwide Building Society to Starling Bank.
"Every time I've tried to make a payment to Starling, I have received a warning telling me the account name is not recognised and that I should check before going ahead."
He said each time he is advised to proceed with caution because the bank refuses to recognise him.
When he raised the issue with Starling, he was told that the bank is "fully operational within confirmation of payee".
But James said he was "100% using the correct name for payments".
James said the warning signs were also "very off putting" for his customers who became anxious about transferring money.
He said he's now resorted to not using confirmation of payee when transferring to Starling Bank.
When Mirror Money put these concerns to Starling, the bank discovered it was in fact experiencing issues with confirmation of payee transactions.
It's now launched a full investigation on the back of it.
