2) Emre Can
The youngster has become a firm fan favourite in recent months, but it’s worth remembering that the German was little more than a bit-part player during the first-half of the season. Sure, there were flashes of potential and signs of things to come – such as the goal against Chelsea – but few could have expected how much he’d improve.
Called upon to fill-in at the back, playing alongside Skrtel and Sakho as part of our back three, Can revolutionised his role within the squad. For the most part, his performances have been nothing short of sensational, and it’s created a real dilemma for Rodgers as to where the player’s best position actually is – defence or midfield.
