New poster here.
Vic is good at breaking up play but his technical ability in my opinion is poor when he has to pass the ball more than 5 yards or shoot. I remember watching the game at home last season against Everton and Harrison made more tackles than the whole of the Everton team put together. Harrison doesn't have the physical presence of Vic but I feel with the right players around him he should be given a chance. Vic is so called ill maybe tomorrow would be a good chance for the lad to start. It would be interesting to hear what other saints fans think

Totally agree Sammie. I was impressed by Reed almost every time I saw him play last season for U21 or first team. He gets stuck in and passes better than Vic. He deserves some game time

Wanyama is such an underrated player by a lot of saints fans, mainly 'cause most don't understand what he does or expect him to be something he's not. He's not on the pitch to play fancy balls or score 10+ a season, he's there to break up the play & bully the opposition, which he does very well. most compare him to Schneiderlin because they're both 'defensive midfielders' but just like there are strikers there are different types of DM's, Schneiderlin, now Romeu and/Clasie are the 'fancy' ones, Wanyama is the 'simple' one

He's not irreplaceable by any means, there are lots out there like him but he is and has been just as important to the defence as Schneiderlin was and alderweireld supposedly was
