Southampton’s English midfielder Theo Walcott (L) celebrates scoring the opening goal with Southampton’s English defender Kyle Walker-Peters (C) and Southampton’s English midfielder Che Adams /

Che Adams

There was a bit of hold-up play by Adams in the first half that impressed me enough to text some friends about how impressed I am by his development.

He was doing it all in this match and was rewarded with an assist on a beautiful through ball to Theo Walcott. This team is full of selfless players and Che may be the most selfless of them all.

He is always looking for a pass to unleash a teammate and is willing to drop deep and collect the ball with his back to the defense and hold up play for things to develop.

It was a prediction of mine that he would have double-digit goals and assists this season and that is looking better and better by the day.
