Probably going to get ignored, but my thoughts.
Howard looked like he was back to his best today. The save with his legs was the turning point for me, from their corner we countered quickly and were up 1-0. His save against Mane was also great, and he seemed to command his area brilliantly.
Galloway at left back had a shaky start, but as the game went on he grew with confidence. He's by no means a wingback, but as a old-fashioned fullback he can fill in no problem.
Jagielka was superb at commanding the back 4. He didn't shut up all game, and dealt with the Saints' front 4 brilliantly.
Stones' best game for us, by far.
Coleman, had a few shaky moments - but offered so much in attack.
Barry helped calm things down in our back four.
Barkley, Clevs and McCarthy worked their socks off. Barkley's confidence is back, and he tried to make something happen whenever he had the ball.
Kone is our sweet beautiful Ivorian prince.
Lukaku is a beast.
