Martin Skrtel
The Slovakian is now (mostly) a rock at the heart of our defence, and there are rumours that he might be given the next permanent captaincy position over current vice-skipper Jordan Henderson… However, due to his (at the time) limited passing skills, Brendan Rodgers cast Skrtel aside during his first season in charge – instead using veteran Jamie Carragher alongside Daniel Agger. Skrtel worked on his ability to play from the back however, and while Carragher’s retired and Agger’s since been offloaded to Brondby – the 30-year-old has the second highest pass completion ratio in the Premier League this term (91.2%), and is one of the first names on the team-sheet.
