Defence
Emre Can – The German Under-21 international might eventually be moved into his natural midfield position, but he was used regularly in a back three last season and Rodgers has yet to invest in any better alternatives.
Martin Skrtel – Skrtel’s is the contract saga that is going under the radar at Anfield, with wantaway Raheem Sterling taking all of the headlines. The Slovakian remains Liverpool’s best defender and they would be foolish not to offer him better terms.
Mamadou Sakho – The Frenchman has a mistake or five in him, but has plenty of suitable attributes to play in a back three and his left foot would give the defence good balance. Reds fans will hope that he will be able to improve on his consistency.
