2) Lucas Leiva
Lucas is the rock in Klopp’s side, the certainty in central midfield. The Brazilian’s provided a platform in front of our defence and impressed everyone with his decision making and defensive contribution. Not only does he make as many tackles and interceptions as the best anchormen in Europe, but he passes sensibly and dictates our tempo. Lucas was almost sold at the start of the season, but he’s likely moved himself ahead of James Milner and Emre Can in the central midfield pecking order due to his contributions.
