Joe Allen
I'd encourage any LFC fans who haven't see any of the Welsh qualifiers to watch them at the Euro's.
I know Joe hasn't had the best time at Anfield so far but for Wales' campaign he has been outstanding - seeming to suit the pace of international football better than the hustle and bustle of the EPL.
And, with a manager who can inspire players (Coleman obviously can) who knows what improvements we may see in Joe under Klopp.

It's a clean slate for all of the players including Allen.

I have to agree with AG as under a new manager many players regain lost confidence.

I've watched every Wales Qualifier. I'm not being funny but against Cyprus and Andorra you can ignore any performances.
In the way Wales set up,it was so defensive he was given a job to just sit,protect a back 4/5 and if the opporutnity ever arose, get the ball to Bale up front on the counter or Ramsey,who Coleman inexplicably played outwide or wingback at times.The brand of football was Horrific to watch,much like Brendan Rodgers.
It was not a tough job to do,Wilmots is ruining the Belgium side with boring possession football. The only expansive team we were against Bosnia drew and beat us.
Allen's over all contribution has been nothing special,even in the DM role,he was extremely lucky Williams has been emphatic and blocked the runs Joe let through,and covered for his weakness in the air.
I'm from Wales I support Wales but I am under no illusion that we are through because of 1 truly world class player and a great defender.

Not sure about Balotelli, Enrique and Migs having a clean slate.

As above new start for everyone if they can't raise there game now (by the way they should always put in 100% ) then I'm sure they will be moved on so let's back them all again fresh start and let's crack on.

To be honest if joe can turn it round and become a regular first teamer then fair play to him. He has had a hard time of it and he will show great character (sorry) if he gets through it. Lucas didn't give up after all.
