I’m a Southampton fan, and honestly, I’m not surprised. We used him in such a negative way, the majority of his goals were set pieces, we’d put him at right back at times when it was really necessary, but then also at times KWP was fit and made no sense. But he could never show the kind of dynamic play he’s putting in at West Ham now. He went to West Ham kind of on the back of his set piece skill and the way he can shithouse from time to time but also showing things we never really saw in the past.
Watching him unleashed and getting into positions like this on counter attacks is lovely to see.
I’m really shocked there wasn’t a few other teams looking at JWP this summer, given the relatively low price.
