Frustrations in the EFL Cup final and now FA Cup quarter-final will be forgotten if Arsenal win the title. It’s always been about the league for Arsenal this season. 22 years since the Invincibles. Being best in the land, the champions, matters most. Lessons from St Mary’s still need to be taken: more players need to stand up to be counted, Max Dowman has to be given a run of starts now, wide or 10, and short-corner routines should be used only occasionally. Return of Raya, Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Rice, Gyokeres and Saka (when fit and fatigue-free) to starting XI will help. #SOUARS

Max Dowman turned up. Few of his team-mates did. Dowman kept taking responsibility, kept taking the knocks and kept going, trying to drag Arsenal back into the tie against spirited Saints. Arsenal needed more players to show the 16-year-old’s hunger. #SOUARS

Saints go marching on to Wembley. Deservedly. Wanted it more. Tonda Eckert and his Southampton players have done the club and the FA Cup proud. Not only for knocking out favourites Arsenal. But the way they did it. Fearless, quick and threatening in transition, together. #SOUARS

Welp, the only positive I can take from this is the play of Cyle Larin. #CanMNT #SOUARS

Much prefer Noni in Saka’s spot. Not sure Dowman’s natural style of play makes the most of that role. #COYG #SOUARS
