Shows how vital an old seasoned pro like Garry O'Neil was

Apart from that mad moment at Stoke, he basically did all the dirty work in that midfield, to lead and to hold it together as best as he could, and worked well with whomever he was paired.

He was captain in all but name, now he's gone and we've got absolutely no spine, leadership or nous in that team, all for the best part of £55m.
