Liverpool may not always have been at their vibrant best yet, with attacking players still waiting to fire, but it has been a positive start to life under Andoni Iraola overall. Here’s how we have ranked the Reds’ five best players in 2026/27 to date – Cody Gakpo can feel unlucky not to make it, but he has been impressive.

His comments about a new contract showed how hurt he has been, but he has responded like the winner he is, scoring superb goals against Atletico Madrid and Tottenham. Like Alisson, he is still priceless for Liverpool, and while he may not quite be the unrivalled colossus he was a few years ago, Iraola surely wouldn’t swap him for anyone in the world.

He has filled the void left by compatriot Ibrahima Konate with consummate ease, looking superior to him, and it is hard to fault anything he has done. Jacquet is a perfect foil for Van Dijk, covering endless ground, and while mistakes will happen for a player of his age, he already feels like a seasoned professional who has been a rock for Liverpool for years.
