Ricketts has been a very calming and reassuring influence i would say. Made a tremendous difference to the back four.
Armstrong was simply sensational at first, though as a result of this the last 2 games he played in he was then heavily marked and so he was not such a big impact unfortunately. This does of course leave space for other players though.
Lameiras shows some delightful touches and Vincelot has made such a difference too with his steel and ball winning and in keeping things ticking over and then of course, the last 2 games, Murphy has shone as well.
We just seem so much more of a rounded package this year. Strong plyaers in many of the key positions (Ricketts, Vincelot, , Armstrong).
