Last year when luis suarez left no one ever thought that the Reds will be facing another shock within a year.Although,they lost their main goalscorer but they have their very own steven gerrard who always thrives for the Reds in any kind of situation.But,with Gerrard deciding to leave the club at the end of this summer who the Reds can now look upto as their future star whom they can idolise:
Not much can be said as of now because it's too early to say that these players can replace steven gerrard as the Reds next kop idol but they have shown potential to do that.The likes of sterling,coutinho,sturridge,Henderson & lallana have shown a lot of potential & spirit to become a true Red & the Reds next idol.
1.RAHEEM STERLING
Topping the charts will be this kid who has just gone from strength to strength since he debuted for the Reds in 2012 at the age of 18.Now,he is only 20 years old but he has already taken a lot of responsbilities within the team.He started as a supporting playmate to sturridge & suarez & played behind them last year & achieved a lot of success.He runs opposition defences at pace & his dribbling skills has been much better at this age.He scored a lot of goals last year & was one of the architects of liverpool's 2nd place finish.Rodgers has already said he will one day become a club great.This year with liverpool losing their goal scorers with suarez left for Barcelona & sturridge got injured for most of the season it's sterling who took the responsibility of central striker with the likes of Balotelli,Borini & lambert failing to score.The Reds have also looked upon this young lad who could terrorise defences & score goals for the Reds this season & propel them once again back to champions league.He has already shown a lot of promise in that direction when he scored a brilliant goal against last week at Anfield.Although,he has his own goal-scoring problems,sometimes in one-on-one situations with the goalie he has failed to score but he is 20 now & he will improve day by day & can become one of club's great in the future.
2. PHILLIPE COUTINHO
Next comes in the list has to be this exciting youngster from Brazil who has himself shown a lot of promise & talent since he joined liverpool in the summer of 2013 from inter milan.He is one of Rodgers signings who has shown a lot of potential to become one of club,s great in the future.He started to play in 2013 but it was last year when the world noticed that this kid has something in him that can make him one of club's great.He played behind sturridge,suarez & sterling & was known to pierce the opposition defence with his inch perfect passes to the forwrds.He runs with pace & has a brilliant mind & made some terrific key that led to a lot of imp.victories to the team last season,most noticeably among them was his winning goal against manchester city. This season although he started slow but now once again he has returned to his very best & the opposition have found it difficult to control him.Now in 3-4-3 formation under Rodgers he gets a lot of space in the midfield & runs with pace & controls the midfield with his incisive play.The one thing that still remains to be improved is his goal-scoring ability.That's the reason why oscar was preferred over him last yr in the wc in Brazil.But,he is improving in that field & once he's done that he will become a complete player & can surely become one of the club's great.
3. DANIEL STURRIDGE
Next,comes in the list is this player who took everyone by surprise last year when he scored 21 goals for the Reds in the league,After struggling to break into the starting XI in chelsea he left chelsea & joined liverpool in 2013.After that he has never looked back & has gone from strength to strength.last year he formed one of the most feared partnerships with suarez & terrorised & teared apart almost every defence that came infront of them.such was his form that he scored in 9 consecutive matches & made a club record.Although,much credit was given to suarez for the assists but nothing can be taken away from sturridge whose finishing was just as exquisite as his positioning to get the right balls at the right place.He has also become england's No.1 striker in the process.This year he has been plagued by a prolonged injury but has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders when he returns because suarez has already & the Reds are eagerly waiting for the man who scored 21 goals last season & almost brought the trophy home.He has already won the hearts of th Reds & many all over the world & the day is not far when he is will counted among one of the club's great.
4. JORDAN HENDERSON
He was signed from sunderland by kenny Dalglish in 2012 but unfortunately he was not able to use this lads services as he was sidelined for most of the season.He struggled to break into the starting XI under kenny as it looked like he is going to leave the club soon.But,Destiny has something else for this guy.In 2013,kenny left & Rodgers was appointed as the new coach & i think Henderson has benefitted the most under Rodgers than anyone else.In the december of 2013 against spurs he showed his real talent as his scored a double in a five-goal mauling of spurs.He was used by Rodgers in the middle alongside Gerrard,until then he was used widely & he struggled in that position as he was never been a wide player he always liked to play in the center.Rodgers identified that & played him in the centre & after that he has never looked back after that.He went from strength to strength from that day & last year he impressed everyone with his hard running in the field & also by his long passes to suarez & his goal-scoring abillities.such was his hardwork & dedication that he was fondly called as the engine,the workhorse through which the entire team runs.He is said to become the next gerrard.This year with Gerrard not playing in all the games he has taken the captaincy responsibility & has shown the potential that he can become a captain like Gerrard in his limited oppourtunities as captain.Although,these are still early days to compare him with Gerrard but if he continues his hardwork & dedication he can become the ideal replacement for Gerrard in the future.
5. ADAM LALLANA
Last but not the it's Adam Lallana.Although,he just joined the Reds this year & was plagued with injury initially but of late he has shown with his performances that one day he can become a club great.He joined from southampton last summer for a price of $25 million in the process becoming liverpool costliest buy last summer.He started the season with injury but Rodgers has been in all praise of his talent & abilities.And,of late he has shown the talent that mesmerized Rodgers & he has even able to win the hearts of the Reds in the limited display he has made this season.He is still improving & has all the qualities to become one club's great but it remains to be seen how far he achieves it.
So,all this players features in my list who can become club's greats in the future.These are still early days but these lads have shown the potential & if they keep doing that it's no doubt that they all can become club's future stars.
