3) Coutinho – 7.28
Voted by John Terry as the Premier League Player of the Season (via Sky Sports), Coutinho’s statistics do not arguably match some of the plaudits his play has earned this season. Four goals and four assists (albeit beautiful ones) are not befitting of a player with his ability – nor is his 1.5 key passes per match.
2) Martin Skrtel – 7.35
Statistically, Skrtel’s been far and away Liverpool’s best defender this season, and has made it to 2nd in this list as a result. Per match, he’s averaged the most blocks (1.3), the most clearances (10.1), has won the most offsides (0.6) and is second behind Manquillo in the interceptions list with 1.9 per game. We badly missed him at the Emirates last weekend.
1) Raheem Sterling – 7.35
WhoScored rate Sterling above Skrtel on goals scored, despite the fact the pair share the same 7.35 rating. The 20-year-old has played on the wings, up top centrally and as a wing-back, too – notching six goals and registering seven assists – identical stats as his vice-captain Henderson. Creatively, Sterling also leads the way, playing 2.1 key passes per game, and completing 3.1 dribblers per match too – both squad highs.
