As Liverpool fought out a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in their final home game of what has been, for the majority, a disappointing season, it felt like the end of an era at Anfield.
Roberto Firmino and James Milner, the two players Jurgen Klopp has called upon most throughout his managerial career (not just since his own Reds arrival in October 2015), might have emerged from the bench to rescue Liverpool a share of the spoils, but in doing so they made their final home appearances for the clubs.
Along with Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the quartet are already all confirmed to be leaving the Reds at the end of their contracts this summer. In doing so, they become the latest players who have won everything at Liverpool to leave the club, following on from last year’s exits of Divock Origi and Sadio Mane.
