    We obviously haven't prioritised the FA Cup, but would be nice not to get destroyed.

    It's only the cup, bring on some fresh young legs and try not to concede a few

    Disappointing time to concede, thought we'd edged the half. Ho-hum.

    Think Cork's been found out a bit at right-back this time, but Rodriguez is looking sharp at least.

    Haha I think our boys got confused, holding out in our own half for the whistle, seen that plenty of times... Usually for the full-time whistle not the half-time though. Same result, however.

    Think the key thing with Rodriguez he/we need to learn his to get the ball to stick to him. With Rickie, he's not going to sprint 40 yards onto a ball, but if you put a ball within 5 yards he's going to make it his and keep possession for us. With Jay we just play endless through balls, he either gets on to it (about 3 times out of 10) or we lose the ball and it comes back at us.

    We've had almost no ball retention deeper than ten yards into their half.

    Time for a Dave Merrington-style analysis; "What I truly believe Southampton need to do now is score a goal. And then another."

    Yes! Completely agree!

    Had a massive rant on there once and a load of likes for what I said.

    Just whining over nothing!

    More important is that Villa keep up their current form.

    Yep, all of our balls forward are coming from too deep. We need to get someone further forward on the ball so J-Rod can play more off the last man. JWP isn't getting far forward enough, we are just losing the centre of the park and resorting to attempted lobs and through balls. Wonder if it would worth bringing Guly into the centre, in a CAM kind of role just off J-rod. That's what I would do I think.
