Not all of Liverpool’s players are properly praised. 

While Liverpool have plenty of talent in their side, some of their players deserve far more praise than they receive. After excellent attacking performances, the likes of Coutinho, Mane, and Salah tend to grab most of the headlines, despite the contributions of other players, whose impacts are often overlooked.

On the defensive end of the pitch, Liverpool’s struggles are impossible to deny. However, the individual quality is certainly there. It is often the case that pundits fail to acknowledge this quality due to the defensive issues of the team as a whole, even when certain defenders deserve little blame.

Here, we take a look at Liverpool’s five most underrated players this season.
