A look across the calendar year at which players have stood out for Liverpool.

Transcript

00:00Looking at Liverpool and 2024 as a whole, it's a bit of a strange year. It started with

00:08fantastic form and there was a bit of a dip with Jurgen Klopp near the end of the season

00:13where the title race just ran a bit dry for them. In terms of standout players across

00:19the calendar year, who makes that category? Obviously Mo Salah has hit some incredible

00:24numbers once again, albeit his future in the balance, and they've had some fantastic

00:29results along the way as well. Who stood out in a squad level that maybe performed under

00:35Klopp and then also made a fantastic adjustment under Arnish Slott as well? Who stands out

00:40there?

00:41Mo Salah is a funny one because he spent a fair bit of time injured last season after

00:47coming back from the African Cup of Nations, and then he couldn't quite get going. I remember

00:52he was having an argument with Jurgen Klopp on the touchline. So if you look at the whole

00:58calendar year, have there been better players? You could argue for how good he's been this

01:03season, the house being a mean base, Van Dijk's been imperious for a long time now. He's just

01:14back to his best levels. I think Alexis McAllister maybe has gone a little bit under-raced as

01:20he really started coming to the fore towards the end of last season when he started playing

01:25a little bit further up the pitch, started getting goals and assists. He's been a key

01:29cog in Arnish Slott's side. He's been a regular. Tactically, he has to be quite savvy because

01:38sometimes he has to drop a little bit deeper and play alongside Graeme Burke in the number

01:43six. Sometimes he has to choose when to go and play a little bit further up. So I think

01:48Conor Bradley has excelled. He was fantastic. Trent Alexander-Arnold was out injured last

01:56season and has carried on his momentum this campaign. He has an awful lot of opportunities,

02:03but his performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League, it was barnstorming.

02:07The way his tackle against Kylian Mbappe, he'll be remembered for a long time. And

02:13Covina Keller, you've got to give a lot of credit to him. He's come in twice while

02:19Alisson Beck has been injured. He was fantastic last season, helped Liverpool win the Carabao Cup

02:24again. And he's been as good as you could have hoped for while Alisson's been out this campaign.

02:36So yeah, I'd say Mo Salah has been fantastic this season, but I think maybe if people just

02:41forget about towards the end of last season, with some people maybe were saying, well,

02:46should we cash in on him now? But yeah, I'd say Van Dijk and McAllister too,

02:52but special mentions to Bradley and Keleher.
