Brendan Rodgers infamously pulled his envelope trick at the start of the season, which was caught on camera for Being Liverpool.
Now that the season's over, who would you say are the three most deserving names to go in them?
 
Wait, were there actually names in the envelopes?

I thought it was a motivational tool to get players to set aside their personal issues and work at improving the team as a whole.

No idea, but I'm sure that most clubs could come up with the names of three players who've underperformed.
QPR would struggle to name three that haven't, sadly.
 
Yeah I'm pretty sure the envelopes were empty.

...however I would say that Agger, Skrtel and Allen would be the 3 biggest let downs for me this season.

(Downing was marginally better than I expected, but only because I expected him to be gone by January)
 
Skrtel, Sahin & Borini.

Borini because he was supposed to add goals in the side and didn't.

Skrtel because he was supposed to kick on and be a key part of our side but he turned out to have a really poor season.

Sahin because he just wasn't the midfielder advertised, Rodgers playing him out of position didn't help but he just didn't seem to have the physical attributes to play in the PL engine room.
 
Allen, Downing and Sahin were the biggest disappointments - but the envelopes were no doubt empty and if they weren't, Allen would have been BR's last pick!
 
Be fair to Allen and Borini. They have both had major bone injuries.

If you want the person who let us down the most this season it is the man who bit Ivanovic. But he has also played incredibly incredible football this season.

Assaidi being in a letter would be the most involved he's been all season. What a disappointment.

usless 3 million. As much as people wnat to hate on Sahin, I think he wasn';t used correctly. Should he have bucked his ideas up? probably, but he was not a number 10, more of an alonso type. Think him with Coutinho in front would have been lethal but it wasn;t to be. Spent a lot of time on that transfer and probably missed out on other targets that may have done better considering.
