"The first 15 minutes was so-so, after that a little light. The second-half was a little better, but we gave them a big present and Fernandes scored a good goal."

"We made too many mistakes, missed too many chances. It is ok to draw in a match like this but normally we want to win.

"We played well against Manchester United last Friday but that's a different game, a different style. Southampton always like to play the long ball and win the second ball. It is not our way and it is difficult for us. Like Manchester United we always want to play good football.

"But Southampton are like Charlton and we managed o beat Charlton, so it is disappointing to only draw."

When asked about Chelsea's late penalty claims, Ranieri replied: "My position was very difficult but my players told me it was a penalty."

He also had words of praise for Frank Lampard, "Frank is ready for the national team."

And who says that Claudio talks to much?!?!
