"For 85 minutes, we were not at the level I expect of Southampton. I think we lack confidence at the moment. They made it very difficult with their defensive organisation.
"We played better football with one player less on the pitch.
"The red card was a one-on-one situation. If it's a foul, then it's a red card. You have to accept that."
"We should have won the game. When you concede a goal late on after you've worked so hard to get in front, it's disappointing.
"It's a difficult place to come. You have to hang on, be professional. Sometimes you have go long and we didn't do that. It would have been a massive three points, so we're devastated.
"We didn't lose and we got a point. The manager always says that if you can't win, you shouldn't lose. We've got a long break until our next game, but we'd like them to come thick and fast. We have to stay positive."
"The dejection amongst us all is clear. It was so important to see this game out. We know how important three points would have been today.
"If we'd have got the win today, we'd have had a gap for next weekend when we're not playing. We dropped a massive clanger in those last few seconds. With the amount of people we had in that box, it's baffling. We didn't have the composure to keep the ball, play out and see the game out properly. We paid a very heavy price.
"It's concentration, making the right decisions when you're tired, being brave enough to cut the danger out and not leaving it someone else.
"I'm delighted with the chances we made, other than we could have finished them better. Then again, one goal isn't enough for us. We can't find a clean sheet – we have a bogey hanging over us.
"I've seen for a long time that we have enough to stay up, we aren't getting the results."
"I'm very disappointed. That was definitely a poor performance and 'going down' material. The only positive is that we have 10 games to go.
"We have got to find the fighters in the team and the performance today did not epitomise that. We cannot play like that and hope to stay up.
"But we are fortunate that we've got 10 games and that's enough. It's a four-team league now and we play everyone around us.
"There was a certain edginess and you could see that in our play. We lost our shape. Normally we are a good attacking team, but today we were poor on the ball. You can only say that the pressure got to them.
"I can't see any positives but we have to stick together as a staff and as a team, and fight. As a coach you get through this. There are ups and downs. [The hostile atmosphere is] not nice, but I can fully understand it after that."
"It was very important to be patient because we created chances in the first half. We dominated the game, so we just had to make it faster," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"We thought it would be a tough game, but maybe at the start we played a bit below our level, but we made the changes we needed to.
"I think the other teams will lose a lot of points, because it is a very close season. In the last six games the pressure will be on all the teams, so we have to carry on playing this way.
"Our experience is very important, we are used to handling pressure at the end of the season. I am sure other teams will start losing points because of the pressure."
"We collapsed totally in the second half after a good first half. The game plan was to defend well as long as we could, but as soon as they scored we collapsed again," he told BBC Sport.
"The first 45 minutes was not entertaining but we knew it was the only solution for us. We had one chance in the first 45, and I told the players if we played like that we might get another.
"We can do [stay up] but we have to be realistic, if we play like we did in the first half, we have a chance. But if we play like in the second half, it is difficult."
"Stoke play well and creatively and they pushed us back. The first goal we got after a sloppy start, it was a beautiful goal. We should have got a penalty for a foul on Oscar. Any referee would have given a free kick if it was outside the box. That was a key point. Stoke got some encouragement after that," he told BBC Sport.
"We have rested one or two players but it's good to see the players who came in, especially the young ones, like Traore and Loftus-Cheek do well.
"Everyone knows in December we were one point off the relegation zone. There was a little bit of panic. Through a lot of draws at the beginning we moved away and then we had to make the next step with victories, which we did."
