Number 3

Oriol Romeu

We knew we would miss James Ward-Prowse no matter what but Romeu made sure to make us miss him just a little less. He was fantastic against Leeds and has been one of the best players so far this season.

He is a natural leader on the pitch which helps diminish the effects of JWP’s absence and elevates the play of the guys around him. I look forward to him against Burnley and how he can boss that midfield.
