I was at the game today. We really needed that Southampton goal to wake us up. We looked so good in first half but didn’t looked clinical enough in front of goal. Southampton defended corners strangely, their player had their back to the corner focusing on our players. Calafiori is an immense player, he was man of the match by a long way. I love Saka but he seems to pick up that award by default now.
Some of Cala's touches were just amazing. And his positioning is so good. He really is a cultured, intelligent player. He has Zinchenko's talent with getting forward into inside channels to squeeze the opposition, but without the defensive frailties.
It was his attitude I loved. If his first touch was off he kept going and made up format in his second touch. His work rate was incredible. He realised on one corner that there were two Southampton defenders in him. So he moved away from the goal and the two defenders followed him out of the 6 yard box to the edge of the penalty box freeing up so much space. That level of intelligence can only helps us
