Just show some composure in the final third.

Saints with one shot on target out of 13.

Foul on the 'keeper? Really?

Grealish free in Saints penalty area again.

Now Walcott injured. What a mess.

Typical lacklustre 2nd half so far from Saints.

Even the JWP free-kicks disappointing now too.

I'm starting to wonder how long it'll take to reach 40 points. As an attacking force Saints are as blunt as a very blunt thing.

Easy goal for Villa. Move into space, receive the ball, cross it quickly and hey presto. Saints need to find a cutting edge in attack quickly. The slow build up isn't working.

How the hell is that not a penalty?

Saints have a pretty good midfield though. The rest is average at best.

If Saints had any sort of attacking ideas then they could have given Arsenal a problem or two. But we're toothless and predictable so we didn't.

How many times has a Saints player passed the ball straight to Arsenal?

JWP chance.

Adams running in treacle when put through.

Saints totally lacking in ideas now.

Oh well.

I'd like to see something more pacey & incisive from Saints in attack. Build up is a bit ponderous and the ball into the box is just hopeful. Arsenal more likely.

Should have been a corner. Hit Ings after it crossed the line.

Theo having a bit of a 'mare. Defence playing like it's patched up. JWP very deep again. Arsenal looking more likely to score. Even Cedric'll probably find the net with a mishit cross.

Arsenal slicing through Saints defence almost at will now. This could get embarrassing.

Beat the press nicely there. Usual Saints finish.

Of course but sometimes it's necessary to be aware of immediate danger. Stephens was fannying around.

Fannying around giving it away. Just play it long when under pressure.

Always like an away 5th round tie in the West Midlands.
