Midfielders
Lucas Leiva, Emre Can & James Milner (2015) v Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum & James Milner (2019)
Similarly to Skrtel and Sakho, these players were not bad individually. However, they still performed decently together. Lucas was a cult hero at Liverpool, but the club definitely needed to move on to improve. Can was beginning to show his ability but decided to not sign a new contract and moved on a free transfer to Juventus. Milner is the only player to survive the test of time in terms of regular playing time.
Trending
With Fabinho just beginning to perform well, Keita not yet settled, the most reliable midfielders so far have been Henderson, Wijnaldum and Milner. Wijnaldum is one of the most underrated players in the league and has been performing like a superstar. Henderson again falls into the underrated category and is a brilliant midfielder.
Milner started the season as arguably the best player but has trailed off a bit. However, his performances are never poor and he gives his 100 percent in every game. As for an overall performance goes, the new midfield is an improvement over the Spurs game in 2015.
