Jon Flanagan – Six different players occupied Liverpool’s left-back slot last season. Flanagan was the most frequent incumbent, but the Reds are likely to enter the transfer market to sign a new number three. 6-10.
Luke Shaw – The most expensive teenager in world football is expected to develop into one of the best full-backs on the planet. However, he is not yet the finished article and, right now, he is probably slightly inferior to Patrice Evra – the man he replaced at Old Trafford. Nevertheless, Shaw is still a solid 7/10.
