A quick player by player season review of the season;
Alisson - not the most consistent of seasons with some very good performances peppered with some WTF moments 5/10.
Joe Gomez - terrible season where at times he looked like he was sinking, after last season where he was injured this looked like a season to reap some hay but he went backwards 2/10.
Virgil van Dijk - a bad season where he morphed into Eric Saward. There would be countless mistakes from him but always resulted in him shouting at and blaming other players. He would improve the further the season went on and salvage a 5/10.
Ibrahima Konate - some very good impressive play and kept his head in defence while others lost theirs. He has become the first name on the team sheet as the season ends 8/10.
Kostas Tsimikas - got a lot of game time this season and during the first half of the season was out most consistent full back 6/10.
Andrew Robertson - eight assists and no goals, disappointing season but we have high expectations of him and for a lot of fullbacks its a decent return. Deducting a point for giving Bajctic a crap nickname which better not stick 4/10.
Joel Matip - he was alright, bit injured, bit in and out, had good games and bad games 5/10.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - a season of two halves which got better as the season went on and he upped his game during the run up to 5th position 6/10.
Fabinho - very poor season where he lost his touch and timing, hopefully the rest of close season will do him good 3/10.
Thiago - the most consistent of our traditional middle three yet in and out through injury 5/10.
James Milner - legs have gone and I wish he'd make the move to coaching 2/10.
Naby Keita - I just don't care about him enough to give him a rating.
Jordan Henderson - not a good season, was knackered from last season. Very likely wont be a started next season and its time to take the captaincy away from him 3/10.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - a player who seriously needs to move to a lower quality league which his body can handle or get a job 3/10.
Curtis Jones - a return to the form that saw him initially break into the team and an improvement towards the tail end of the season 8/10.
Harvey Elliott - some good performances mostly early in the season when all around him were sinking but seemed to hit a wall the more the season went on 5/10.
Arthur Melo - spent the season bound, gagged and locked in my shed. 10/10 for signing a waiver that clears me from criminal prosecution.
Fabio Carvalho - was in the side early season, got some goals and an assist then disappeared 4/10.
Bajman - a good breakthrough season which proved to much for his body at this young age but he'll grow into himself and we'll see more from him in the coming seasons 6/10.
Roberto Firmino - at one point he looked poised to have his best season as he managed to hold down a starting place but injury and incoming players sadly put a stop to it 6/10.
Momhamed Salah - a season which on paper was pretty standard but one in which he really had to grind things out as his natural form and flair wasn't there 7/10.
Cody Gakpo - hit the ground running and proved to be a spark for our front three in the second half of the season. Some really good positional play at times 7/10.
Diogo Jota - in and out of the team for various reasons yet consistent when called upon 6/10.
Luis Diaz - it doesn't feel like the league suits him, he has his moments but feels too soft to be a starter 4/10.
Darwin Nunez - a season of trying to and imo struggling to get used to the league. At times he's really tried on my nerves, he's getting a 4/10 with the caveat that some players take a season to get used to the league.
Everyone else hasn't played enough to warrant a rating.
