Left Back – Gael Clichy

Splitting time with Alex Kolarov this season at LB, Clichy would get the nod based on his performances. He is an experienced player that is always ready to put in a good shift for his team. Clichy should continue to see starts at left-back, while Kolarov rotates between there and centerback. Liverpool’s James Milner isn’t a true defender, but has done well filling for Klopp’s side at times. Alberto Moreno has sparingly seen starts for Klopp but could himself out the door at the end of the season.
