5) Simon Mignolet
Brendan Rodgers finally took the decision to give the Belgian a spell on the sidelines in December, following a difficult run of form. Brad Jones was soon out through injury, and many fans were crying out for us to add a new stopper during the January transfer window. However, Rodgers kept faith with Mignolet, and has since been rewarded by a huge improvement. Nonetheless, some are still hoping for a new recruit this summer.
4) Danny Murphy
Scored three winners at Old Trafford and one at Goodison Park, but as the Echo admits, he still had his doubters – with Rafael Benitez chief among them. The Spaniard ditched Murphy soon after his arrival, despite his more than respectable record at Anfield. Steven Gerrard has said in the past that he was disappointed to see Murphy go, with the England international completing his career at Charlton, Tottenham, Fulham and Blackburn Rovers.
