Didn’t like Jordan Henderson’s chances, hadn’t really bought into the hype at Sunderland and we were in a terrible state at the time, felt like he’d be gone within a season or so, basically like Charlie Adam was and Stewart Downing should have been, both of whom I predicted the same level of failure for. Tbf he nearly was gone early on, Brodge tried to sell him to Fulham to get Clint Dempsey, but I’d have never called him being a PL & CL winning captain for us.

Also thought Wijnaldum had potential flop written all over him after going a whole season without an away goal for Newcastle and four of his goals for them coming in one game rather boosting his total. Had no idea he’d turn into the type of midfielder he played as for us as opposed to the attacking midfielder he was for them.

Milner too, was never really a fan even when he was playing well for City, can’t really put my finger on why, and was pretty sure he’d be another one who’d come in from a club who were doing better than us and leave having accomplished very little as we didn’t really feel like we were going anywhere. How wrong I was there.

So basically the midfield that won us the CL & PL, minus Fabinho.
