We have lauded over Allison. Ran out of words for Van Dijk got bored of talking about the front three but let's take a moment and look at the unsung heroes.
Joel Matip. 4th choice centerback to CL winner. He's been immense.
Gini Wijnaldum. Shyte last night but what a player he is.
James Milner. I called him the John O'Shea of midfield. Plays everywhere ok. Doesn't excel anywhere. Oh I was wrong. I have genuine feelings for him. Proper man love.
Jordan F**king Henderson. This fella takes some stick. Mostly from me to be honest. If you watch Liverpool play for 90mins you never notice him. Watch him play for 90mins and then you realise what he does.
Divock Origi. Worst player in France. Worst player in Germany. Rejected moves to Huddersfield and wolves. Scores 3 of the most important goals in any career.
Little thanks to the owners too. Last time we on the CL we had some horrible Yanks in charge of us. We have proper businessmen who are securing our future on and off the pitch.
Congrats to everyone involved

Apart from his 3 goals in the CL for Origi you have to add late winners v Newcastle and Everton.

Matip a free transfer which can easily go for 40m in today's market. He is my pick.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

Matip is by far our most improved player this season. I agree with all in the op though.

Hendo simply for the amount of unnecessary stick he’s had in the past.

All the other players mentioned have been relatively cheap buys, Hendo was big money at the time and people questioned it, he had options to move on but he stuck it out even though he knew he would get stick.

Henderson can truly hold his head up high as a Liverpool captain now. Watching him hoist old big ears was really satisfying. So made up for him.

Oh come on, stop looking at Henderson in rose tinted specs after our CL win.
Henderson is simply awful. Offers no leadership as captain, by rights our Captain should be VVD.
Playing ability is awful. Offers no defensive or attacking ability, favours the sideways pass.
No way near to Gerrard, Souness, Alonso, Mascherano and most definitely not a Liverpool standard player.

Agree, however, he is the one who started the come back against Barca and it was his pass to Mane which created the penalty in the final
