DM) Emre Can
The German has been a revelation at Anfield. After a slow start to last season he found a new home as an emergency defender, performing admirably while more established stars failed to live up to expectations.
CM) Joe Allen
Allen has never quite lived up to his hype at Anfield. However, if he can bring the sort of form he’s shown in a Wales shirt this summer to Merseyside next season, then we could still find ourselves with a very good player.
CM) James Milner
We badly needed a solid replacement for Steven Gerrard last summer and the England international has provided us with just that. He comes to Anfield with plenty of big game experience and a reputation as being very reliable.
