Zabi Alonso was the biggest departure from Anfield last season but Sami Hyppia’s move to Bayer Leverkusen was also a huge blow.
However, it could be that, at long last, Sotirios Kyrgiakos is ready to fill the void left by the Big Finn.
I’m not for one moment comparing the two, as Sami was rightly thought of as a Liverpool legend.
But Kyrgiakos has shown in his last two performances that he has similar qualities and is right man to fill the role Sami would have occupied this year.
You won’t have many bigger aerial tests as a defender than against Stoke and Peter Crouch but Kyrgiakos passed both with flying colours.
The jury had been out on him but he is starting to get to grips with the Premier League and is well capable of playing his part for the rest of the year.
