Brendan Rodgers has admitted that Steven Gerrard is 'irreplaceable' after the Liverpool captain played his final game at Anfield.
The occasion was soured as Crystal Palace came from behind to win, but all the focus was on Gerrard, who spoke to the fans after the match.
Rodgers conceded in his post-match conference that his summer will focus on rebuilding the squad after Gerrard's departure.
He said: "I have always said he is a player and a person who is irreplaceable with the standard he has set and what he has done here. We will have to plot a way to improve in the summer, and that is our challenge," quotes ESPN.
"In my time here, we have lost a couple of players in Jamie Carragher and Gerrard. Those two players in the Premier League years here have been monumental.
"Throw in a world-class player like Luis Suarez and of course it is difficult, but we will rise to the challenge."
Gerrard's final game for Liverpool will be away at Stoke City next Sunday.
