I reckon Gerrard, Henderson, and Coutinho will be next season's regular starters in midfield. (I don't think Rodgers will be ready to give up the ghost on Gerrard as a regular starter.) I don't know about this season. I still haven't figured out who is in competition with each other. Presumably, it's Gerrard/Lucas, Henderson/Allen, Coutinho/Alberto, but I'm not sure about that because of all the injuries and relatively inconsistent play at times. In all honesty, I'd like to see Allen, Henderson, and Coutinho regularly next season.
