Progress is precisely that which rules and regulations did not foresee.
I had expected to be playing in the reserves and, all going well, that I might get a chance in the first team towards the end of the season. But it has all happened much faster than I could ever have thought.
I can depend less and less on my own power and sense of direction...It is so strange to advance backwards and get where you are going in a totally unexpected way
Sometimes with these things all the pieces fall into place. I mean, we've been talking about this for years and we don't have the script now, but sometimes things fall into place very quickly, and if everything lines up it could happen.
Everything seems to have been turned upside-down, but in a good way.
If someone said at the end of 2016 that I'd be ranked No.1 in England, have three titles and be ranked top ten in the world at the end of 2017, I would have said probably not.
