Stewart Downing
Like Song, Downing’s performances and impact has dipped at the turn of the year. However, his huge improvement from last season saw him earn an England recall in November for the friendly against the ‘Auld Enemy’ Scotland.
Beating his goal tally by four already, Downing has also notched eight assists; no English player has made more. His new role in the central position behind the striker realy has shown what Liverpool missed out on.
Downing has played at England’s top flight for an incredible 14 years and knows exactly what it takes for a side struggling for form to find their feet again.
