2. Change of old guard
Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel have done exceptionally well for the team over the past couple of years. But this season has made it evident that they are not the players who can guide Liverpool to Premier League or Champions League glory and a change of guard is necessary. Liverpool already have players like Sakho and Ilori to play in the centre back and the efforts of the team should be to gradually bring in fresh faces in the defence. Stefan de Vrij is a player who has the desire to excel and can learn the Liverpool way very soon, thus making him an ideal player for the Kops. He had scored 4 goals last season along with a pass accuracy of 87%.
