Kalou would stand out there as comfortably the best player from that group of 5, to be fair. Sigurdsson and Gerrard would probably be the only two midfielders better than him, and even though I quite like Gylfi, I'm not quite sure he's all that much better than Kalou. Well, I wouldn't hate myself if I played for Liverpool and Kalou is much closer to Eric Capriccioso (no, that's not my surname ) playing professional football, than anybody else, so to hate him is like to hate myself. If that makes any sense.
