Midfielders

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Central-Midfield – 6

Busy as always but he and Romeu need to find a way to feed the attackers in central, dangerous areas instead of out wide. Forced good save from Lloris early on.

Oriol Romeu, Central-Midfield – 6

Heavily involved in the centre and quickly becoming a must in the Saints line-up. Provides control, but more risk needed at times, much like Hojbjerg.

James Ward-Prowse, Right-Midfield – 5

Started wide on the right but backtracking clearly isn’t his strong point. Moved into central-midfield in second-half and very unlucky to see a superb free-kick effort tipped over.

Ryan Bertrand, Left-Midfield – 7

Busy down the left and undoubtedly the best man to play at Left-Back in the current Saints squad.

Sofiane Boufal, Attacking-Midfield – 6

Clever and bright at times but ultimately not quite enough. Played centrally in first-half and could be a good role for him in the future.
