2008/09 – Xabi Alonso
Left for the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu at the end of this season and has since gone onto be recognised as one of the finest midfielders in the game.
Alongside Gerrard the Spain international sat in the deeper role and dazzled everybody with his array of passes.
2013/14 – Jordan Henderson
After being strongly criticised for his first two years at Anfield the 23 year-old has now settled into his role and provides so much to the side.
With Gerrard sitting deeper the younger midfielder now plays the role that his skipper used to by running from box to box.
Winner – Xabi Alonso
