John Aldridge: Javier Mascherano Is My Player Of Liverpool FC’s Season

Liverpool’s Player of the Year will soon be announced but while Pepe Reina is the odds-on favorite, my vote goes elsewhere.

Having been such a supporter of Javier Mascherano through the year and giving him so many Man of the Match awards on Radio City, it would be wrong of me to desert him at this stage.

He might have endured a slow start to the campaign but I felt he got better and better with each week and played starring roles in a couple of different positions, like when he slotted in a right-back at the Anfield derby.

It must be stressed, though, that Reina was only a fraction behind and his attitude and commitment has been first class; he is one of the best keepers in the world and Liverpool are lucky to have him.

With Reina and Mascherano, plus a few others, we have got a number of top players but Anfield needs revolutionizing, right from the top.

This is the biggest summer in Liverpool’s history and mistakes cannot be made.
