Morgan Schneiderlin
Lots of the Englishmen at Southampton have been praised this season, but one man that isn’t often praised is Frenchman Morgan Schneiderlin. His partnership with Victor Wanyama was one of the reasons that Southampton started the way they did. His passing is brilliant as he rarely gives the ball away, and he can also contribute goals after grabbing five last season. This campaign hasn’t been as fruitful for Schneiderlin as he has scored only one to date. He has been a key presence in Southampton’s quick breakaways as he gets the ball from defence to attack quickly. His passing accuracy is 87.05% which is up there with the best in the division. The Frenchman is also very effective at pressing and dispossessing opponents with a tackling success rate of 73.02%. He is also eligible for England after living in the country for five years, he is yet to be capped for France.
