#2 Dejan Lovren
One of the most improved players for Liverpool this season, Dejan Lovren has been a rock at the heart of the defence. The much-maligned centre-back has answered his critics in style putting in solid performances and bailing out his team on plenty of crucial occasions.
Probably Lovren’s most important moment of the season was when he scored the sensational and emotional last minute winner against Borussia Dortmund which gave Liverpool fans their favourite moment of the season. The Croatian has shown his importance to the Liverpool squad this season, and he has become an indispensable part of this Liverpool side.
Under Jurgen Klopp the Croatian’s numbers have been absolutely astonishing. In 29 starts under Jurgen Klopp, the Croatian has managed to keep 14 clean sheets. He was also one of the key contributors to Liverpool's run to the Europa League final.
With Martin Skrtel set to leave and the future of Kolo Toure uncertain, Dejan Lovren will be expected to lead the Liverpool backline next season.
