For me we need to twist at Southampton and play Maja or Weiman as we will only get a handful of chances.
Even though he isn't clinical in front of goal, he offers us a lot. He chases after balls and can be a nuisance when he's at the top of his game.

I think he's our best available striker for those reasons. Weimann is probably a better finisher, but he can't offer us what Asante can in terms of nuisance factor. Especially playing Southampton away, we need someone who can help us get up the pitch.

I also thought he played really well versus Preston, and did okay on Saturday too.
