# Southampton: Fans full of praise for James Ward-Prowse

**Many Southampton fans were left waxing lyrical over James Ward-Prowse as the midfielder put in another solid display on Saturday afternoon.**

The [£16.2m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-ward-prowse/profil/spieler/181579) playmaker has been in terrific form for the Saints recently, having bagged himself four goals and four assists in his 25 appearances for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side this season (per [TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-ward-prowse/leistungsdaten/spieler/181579)).

Indeed, he may not have had a direct influence on the result in regards to the scoresheet against Huddersfield Town in their [FA Cup third-round meeting on Saturday](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50976042), however fans were still left impressed with what they saw from the 25-year-old.

Many of them had jumped on to Twitter to share their praise for Ward-Prowse, with some suggesting he is one of the most important players for Southampton at the moment and helps to make them tick.

Others had pointed out to the engine that the Englishman has, with some finding it hard to believe how he continues to keep going every time.

Here are just some of their reactions to his recent performance…

> Easy to see why Prowsey wasn’t rested….has become the heartbeat of this side [#saintsfc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/saintsfc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

> Good result- always hard when you make that many changes to have a fluid performance . Prowsey the best player on the pitch again. Vestergaard, Yoshida and Romeu too slow [#saintsfc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/saintsfc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

> Just home from the game. Straight forward win with great performances from JWP, Oriel, Che and Shane. GOod to see the kids getting the goals, Vokins goal was quality. Vesterguard proving he’s not prem standard to me unfortunately. [#SaintsFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/SaintsFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

> Saints looking for Full backs in the window. Need not be looking for back up at Left back. Vokins has been and is more than ready. Had a superb game. [#saintsfc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/saintsfc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 2nd team doing the job nicely. Confidence, momentum and some more minutes for others.\
> JWP very good again. Into Rd 4
