Simon Mignolet

Starting from the back, the Belgian shot-stopper has had a number of good moments in his Liverpool career, be it his penalty save against Stoke on his Premier League debut or his shoot-out heroics again against Stoke in the Capital One Cup semi-final this year. Unfortunately, for every good moment comes a bad; if not horrendous, one. For every match-saving performance like his Capital One Cup final one, is a costly moment, such as when he watched Fernandinho of all people fire a shot under his midriff. It’s time for the Reds to stop leaking goals, and it’s time for them to cut the cord with someone who will never be the ten-point-per-season-saver that the likes of Petr Cech are.

Martin Skrtel

As I said before, it’s time for the Reds to stop leaking goals, and this Solvakian monster has been the cause of them for nine gruelling years in many peoples’ opinion. Another good player who’s had his good moments in a Liverpool shirt – he won player of the year for them in 2012 – but again, Martin Skrtel simply isn’t the world class leader at the back that Liverpool need. His cataclysmic 45 minute cameo at Southampton which saw the travelling side suffer a 3-2 defeat from a 2-0 (and completely dominant) position may well spell the end of his Liverpool career, and though he’ll be thanked for the memories, most fans will just be glad he won’t get a testimonial.

Christian Benteke

Obvious? Probably. For a striker who cost £32 million, seven goals in 25 appearances in the league is simply not good enough. Christian Benteke was a strange purchase by Brendan Rodgers, who never looked like he was going to be able to accommodate the big man, and never the right man for Klopp’s full throttle football despite his interest in him back at BVB. Not only is he a misfit, he’s now also coming across as moody, blaming Klopp for his not starting games – despite his ability to play in any system as he claims – when in reality he never even shows willing to follow up shots to try and sneak in a rebound goal during his spell of bad form.
