Southampton midfielder Moi Elyounoussi insisted there is no doubt in his mind the club can avoid relegation.
The Saints are struggling at present as they sit in 20th position and four points away from safety.
They fumbled a chance to get back in the race to stay up by losing to Leeds United at the weekend.
Speaking to the Daily Echo, Elyounoussi said: “It's disappointing, obviously. Disappointing from our point of view, obviously. I think it was a typical game, you could see two teams or two clubs fighting to stay in the Premier League.
“Two teams who are breaking down the rhythm for each other. We couldn't really find a rhythm or composure with the ball, I think in the second half we looked better and then again they broke it and we did the same for them. So there weren't a lot of chances. And then when they did score it was soft from us."
On survival, Elyounoussi responded: “Absolutely, yeah, no question about it.
“I strongly believe that with the squad we have, with the staff we have, I think we can do it. With the fans behind us, hopefully, they push us even more next weekend.
“I think we're in the game the whole time. It's always one goal deciding it, even if it's our side," he added, knowing it was the 10th time Saints have lost by the odd goal in the league this season.
“The only way to get those margins on our side is by earning it, we're there for every inch. It starts with the duels and our aggression and intensity without the ball, then a bit more composed with the ball when we have it. The only way to do it is by sticking together, now more than ever."
