I just watched Andy Robertson doing a post match interview and he conducted himself really really well. I have long been a fan of his playing talent but perhaps under estimated the impact he looks capable of having at motivating the squad especially in the absence of Hendo and Milie Do we have many of those characters elsewhere in the squad?

Henderson, Milner, Salah, Robertson, Thiago and Van Dijk to name the main leaders in my opinion.

Doesn't look like it.
I think if we had more leaders of that ilk the we would have dropped as many points even without VVD, Hendo et al.

I think it’s well established that VVD, Henderson and Milner are the main leaders in our squad, that probably explains why we have struggled so much in the second half of the season. We are lucky to have three leaders like them, most teams don’t have any.

This isn’t to knock Hendo but he was injured towards the end of Feb and he played in 10 of the 11 games where we went into free fall after the Palace game. Drew 3 won 2 lost 5. It’s great that we do have so many leaders on the pitch but this season has been down to poor performances, poor decision making, lack of intensity and what looks like mental exhaustion. It’ll be a clean slate come the summer but this existing squad already have things up against them like the Euros (same as every other team) Olympics and African Nations.
