#2 Lucas Leiva

The Underrated One

Lucas Leiva is known for being one of the most underrated performers of Liverpool for the past two decades. He represented Liverpool for ten years( from 2007 to 2017) raking up 346 appearances in all competition.

Prominently a hard-tackling defensive midfielder, Lucas was not very skillful or creative but his work rate and tactical intelligence made him one of the best holding midfielder in Premier League. His tacking ability also allowed different managers to use him as a makeshift central defender.

Lucas who was a former captain of Brazilian National youth team captain also won Liverpool's Player of the Year for the 2010-11 season.

He was also nicknamed "Little Magician" by Liverpool fans for his vision and passing ability. Coutinho spent six successful but trophy-less seasons in England before moving to Barcelona in January of 2018 for a deal worth a whopping £143 million
