Will Still lavishing hefty praises on Southampton's first team stars is quite normal to expect at the moment, but he went on full exaggerating mode when it came to Ryan Fraser.
Six Southampton games separated the Norwich win at the back-end of August and this Sheffield United triumph. In this brisk while, three different Saints finishers have packed the net with two goals apiece but they have relayed forward one blatant mistake.
Beginning with Cameron Archer, he floundered the Pompey derby chance and broke his scoring streak before it read 3. Then, Adam Armstrong's left-foot led him to go netting in consecutive Championship outings but his right foot ruined his rhythm and nearly the Saints' spirits with a shambolic penalty.
Ross Stewart will get lauded for his exploits across the next ten days, but can Southampton fans bill him as the most in-form forward out here? Not, when his countryman Ryan Fraser has streamlined the attacking department irrespective of who is playing closer to the keeper.
Saints will hope Will Still's exaggerated Fraser plan never comes true
In some ways, the 31-year-old wide midfielder has hidden several weaknesses for the Saints from taking care as a wingback to pressing opposing defenders from the wings. With such elite performers, fans often get irritated not finding them even once in ten starting lineups but Will Still is a chill man on that.
In an exaggerated tone, Still was quoted by the Daily Echo saying: "I know the energy that Wee Man [Ryan Fraser] naturally brings. It doesn't really matter where you put him. You can put him right wing-back, centre-mid, 10. I think the only position he hasn't played is in goal."
Should luck be in some capacity at St. Mary's, then a gloves duel between McCarthy and Fraser should never happen.
Yet, you never know if the former brings a red card to the dressing room someday and Still goes creative by arranging a keeper's shirt for the attacker rather than calling a natural shot-stopper.
