THE emotion shows on the face of Harry Redknapp as his problems mount.
Not only did Saints let slip a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at home to Aston Villa on Saturday to remain in the relegation zone ...
But influential midfielder Nigel Quashie was stretchered off with an injury that looks likely to rule him out of tomorrow's Premiership trip to Champions League chasing Bolton.
Centre half Andreas Jakobsson is also struggling after picking up a hip injury against Villa.
Saints have shipped nine goals in three successive Premiership defeats and the manager admits his rearguard lacks basic ingredients. "We've got a back four with no talkers," he said. "We get under pressure and we drop deeper. We lack pace so we drop deeper and it invites pressure."
