Bradley's top 5 players of 10-11

1. LUCAS LEIVA

A player who has given his all since he first arrived at Anfield. He has worked hard on his game and always tried to listen, learn and improve. It must have been so difficult for a young Brazilian to be taken out of his homeland to a foreign country and culture and adapt quickly, and Lucas made sure if he wasn't going to make it at Anfield then it wasn't going to be for lack of effort. 2010-11 has been the making of him. He's first pick for club and for country and that's testament to the work he has put in and the way he has grown both as a footballer and a player. The only thing he could do with adding is scoring a few more goals, as he is certainly capable of finding the net more often.

2. DIRK KUYT

After suffering the heartbreak of World Cup final defeat in South Africa last summer it was always going to be a difficult start on his return to Liverpool, but Dirk has grown into the campaign and gone from strength to strength. I've always called him the man for the big occasion, but this year he has been the man for every occasion. Under Kenny Dalglish he has become the man to rely upon, scoring goals regularly and making an immense contribution to the team. Like Lucas, Dirk's workrate and endeavour has helped when the team has struggled and he can look back proudly on his personal efforts.

3. LUIS SUAREZ

It may have been only a four-month Liverpool campaign for El Pistolero, but I'm sure even he has been staggered at the impact he has made in a league as tough as the Premier League. Luis arrived in a blaze of publicity at the end of January but has never been fazed by any opponent or anything put in his way. He has fantastic poise and balance on the ball, but also works unbelievably hard for the team. He has embraced the city and appears to be settling in so well. If he can continue his early promise, then the Reds will have a frightening prospect on their hands. Finally a player has been found who is worthy of taking on that famous No.7 shirt.

4. STEVEN GERRARD 

While the skipper has been absent for much of Kenny Dalglish's second coming at Anfield, his impact in the earlier part of the season cannot be overstated. After leaving the World Cup with his reputation intact, perhaps the only England player to do so, he was keen to get back and hit the ground running - and he managed to achieve this. Steven's hat-trick against Napoli in a 45-minute cameo that oozed class was memorable, as was his performance(albeit on one leg) against Manchester United. Now, with the new freedom given to the team by Kenny, I fully expect Steven to return and turn in a big campaign next season.

5. JAMIE CARRAGHER

The two-and-a-half months that Jamie missed after damaging his shoulder at Spurs in November probably felt like years, but his return was timely and immaculate. Once again he has played in every game he was available for, such is his importance, and it was perhaps noticeable that the Reds' won only two of the next 12 games that he was absent for. This was the year that Jamie surpassed Ray Clemence and Emlyn Hughes in the club's appearance records and the fact he is still going strong shows his importance to everyone at Anfield.
