Here's some positivity (slightly irrelevant to Marko..sorry about that)..
We trashed Newcastle while fielding a majority English side. That's one fact that is making me happy. I know KD was trying to assemble a great, British side, and a few didn't work out, but I see no reason, based on recent performances, that Henderson couldn't become an important player for the national side. I thought Shelvey was going to turn out the same, but something's happened to seriously dent his confidence, which has had an awful knock on effect on his ability/ form.
I know no one is content with waiting, but in a few years, all these 18-24 year olds are going to be hitting their prime. That's exciting!
Great stuff...I agree with you about Hendo, however, I have to point out the importance Coutinho had in that match...
