Not sure if the 'incident' in the dressing room after Stoke is fact or urban myth but the fact that weve barely seen the likes of Kaboul, Ade, Capoue (and Lennon was shipped out) since suggests that something of a 'coup' may indeed have occurred leading to the emergence of the academy group. Happily, the team hasnt looked back since so id have to conclude that in letting this play out naturally, MP has played an absolute blinder.
Suspect Nabil may become captain tbh
