If Ings can stay fit, he can fire Southampton to a top 8 finish
There are several players who attracted praise for their performances yesterday but none deserve it more than Danny Ings. He led the line with gusto, displaying bravery and ingenuity aplenty. His delightful reverse pass for Redmond’s second was perfectly weighted and sliced the Wolves defence in two.
He may not have scored but he could have had a handful of assists if it wasn’t for some wasteful finishing. Moreover, Josh Sims should have picked out Ings rather than shooting just moments after Southampton’s second. Ings was involved in Southampton’s first goal too by causing Boly problems with his hustling before Sims was set free down the right.
Constant injuries have plagued his time with Saints and indeed Ings’ career as a whole. Yet if he could stay fit for a season, there is no reason why he couldn’t score 15 plus in the league next year. His movement between the defence and the midfield causes endless problems whilst his finishing generally clinical.
