Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood: "It was unrecognisable from the team we had but credit to Southampton for punishing us for our mistakes, and there were a few.

"The defenders don't need to be told, the whole team are in it. I take responsibility for that. That is one bad 45 minutes since I have been at the club. As much as we feel sorry for the fans, it was not a bad turnaround.

"We have to win a game and then a Cup final, there is no point in me stripping paint off them. Any idiot knows we didn't play well, they don't need telling.

"If we beat Burnley next week, it is in our own hands and we will be safe. The Cup final is not even in our minds at the moment, because we are not safe yet."
