I assume you meant to say “specialist right back” because Wilkshire has been a fixture on the right-hand side of our defence since 2007. He can fill in at defensive midfield or play further up on the right as well if needed. He may have been a little under-done fitness wise but he certainly would be a better option than McKay for example, who has been poor lately.

Kennedy was a shock for me as the day before Aurelio Vidmar came out and said that, although he was currently nursing a back injury, he would be fine for the tournament.

Croatia is the true test for the Socceroos

He had a fine season but he’s going on 33 now and is clearly not the player he once was. He scored 13 goals and had as many assists in the league this season, however, the majority of those contributions came from penalties, free kicks and corners.

He’s also been shifted into a new position to both make the most of what he has left to offer and to make room for the front 4 to do their thing. There’s no shame in that, it’s just the way it is.

Let’ be honest, Steven Gerrard was never not going to be in the PFA team of the year with Liverpool doing so well. I don’t see Henderson in that same side even though his contribution was arguably more telling over the course of the season.

Next year will be more of the same for Liverpool

Yeah I just mentioned the money factor because it’s been highlighted by all and sundry when discussing how well Liverpool have done this season in comparison. For me, it’s all part of modern football.
