Sofiane Boufal

The only man I think worthy of being written about from yesterday’s game was the Moroccan. The only one who looked like he might have created a bit of magic and excitement.

The former-Lille player looks quite high on confidence at the moment and his array of skills and fancy footwork appears to be causing a bit of a problem for the defences he is facing at the moment.

The only issue is, is that there was no end product yesterday, which ultimately is the most important thing. It’s hard to point out what the exact problem is with Saints, but it seems the one solution to trying to break down solid defences is having to play Boufal because no one else seems to be able to do it.
