Mac Allister impact, Van Dijk class, Diaz case - LFC Player of the Season named

The expectation of many supporters before a ball was kicked was to get back in the Champions League after a year away from Europe's elite competition, though the dynamic soon shifted after an encouraging first few months for the club.

Injuries have badly affected Liverpool's ability to continue fighting on all fronts, having missed key personnel missing for large chunks of the calendar. Those recruited last summer have each adapted reasonably well to their surroundings, though not every individual has been able to remain consistent.

We're still a team who play with heart and soul, even during the moments when it's not going our way. With that in mind, my Player of the Season award goes to a man who knows adversity well - and that's Joe Gomez. He's stepped up to the plate time and time again when needed and put in some crucial performances across the campaign. I think his strength of character and devotion to the club has been unparalleled on and off the pitch. Ain't nobody, like Joe Gomez.

Although Diaz has taken the crown for my Player of the Season, I should say that Virgil Van Dijk was a close contender. He has been imperious this year. His comments this week about his commitment to the new club project was a real lift, in what has been an underwhelming end to the season.Picking this year’s player of the season isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Seasons are long, but this felt longer than others, and it was hard to pick out a single player who has consistently stood out.

Mohamed Salah, of course, should be in the conversation, but do we give it to him by default? Virgil van Dijk stepped up during his first season as captain, but our defensive frailties saw our title challenge curtailed in April.
