I'M delighted that James Ward-Prowse is thriving under Ralph Hasenhuttl. His excellent display against Everton highlighted all his best attributes. He is a tireless worker, running 7.5 miles — the furthest of anyone on the pitch — has a good passing range and strikes the ball so sweetly. He deserves a run of games in the Southampton side.
