No other player broke up so many Saints moves tonight. It was worse than playing with 10 men.

Ralph to BBC Sport ""With the last pass or finish, we are not dangerous enough at the moment. We need more punch in the front. We need to create more chances. We have to find the players who can give you that." Conveniently forgetting he left all the players he "found" to give us that on the bench until the rest of the team were already mentally on the bus.

Gerrard should be apologising they didn't score 5

I can't remember a player making me this angry.

I sincerely fucking hope this press conference is going to be a protracted apology that ends in a resignation.

It wouldn't matter who we recruited if we persist with the same players.

Me too

I can't defend this shit any more. Ralph recruited some exciting players then didn't use them. Ralph out.

It's like a bunch of blokes who had never met each other, got on a coach and wound up on a football pitch.

Ralph out.

This is a bit unfair. Moi deserved a standing ovation from the Villa fans. No one has done so much to break up any potential Saints attacks.

The only thing I can think of is that Ralph has forgotten that Moi is on the pitch.

I guess we're trying really hard not to make the Prince of Wales' week any more tragic

At least someone associated with Saints has a chance of scoring tonight.

Harrison Reed with the 3rd

To be fair - if he passes it forwards it might wind up with Moi so that's not really an option.

He drifts into space so he can mop up any attacks we look like making.

Seriously, we have two ludicrously talented kids on the bench. There is no way they could make things worse and a good chance we can win this game if we substitute Villa's sweeper (Moi).

Larios is too new to realise that bursting out of defence and passing to Moi only ends one way

Another shot!

C'mon ref. The coloured things in your pocket are there for a reason

I lied. Moi is still on the pitch. I'm not over it.

Alright, I'm over that first half now. COYS

Let's be fair - no one read our lineup and thought to themselves "it's going to be a free flowing attacking performance tonight"

I know I say this at half time every game but FFS put on Mara and Edozie for Elyounoussi and Armstrong
