The awards are jokes tbh, Kane definitely deserved it last year it’s just a popularity contest and going with the consensus votes instead of actually thinking about who should win
They should submit votes after the first half of the season, keep them sealed, and then submit another round of votes at the end of the season. Then, unseal them together.
Honestly between De Bruyne, Son and Salah I put him down as least likely. I feel like Salah had a greater peak in his first half than De Bruyne did in the second and Son for just being consistent throughout. Although can't disagree with any of them and being top helps
True, Allison has had an all time great goalkeeping season, genuinely has reached the point where you feel confident when he's in a 1 on 1. But a goalkeeper is never gonna win player of the season.
I love the guy, but come on man, Salah and Son have a much more compelling case. Golden Boot contenders, Assist contenders, and you’re telling me this man is player of the season? I just dont see it Robbie
Kevin de bruyne doesn't have any PR, I can see you're a Juventus fan but in England and in the Premier league Kevin de bruyne is the one player in the league right now everyone from pundits, all the fanbases even rivals, media all respects, he might aswell be the face of the league
As an avid United supporter of 40 years I hate admitting it but De Bruyne is indeed magnificent. Hopefully it'll carry on for tomorrow so the bloody scousers don't take the title.
Lmao , when it mattered ? Bruh all season matters If we compare both players effect , Salah leads not only in goals but also in assists which is supposed to be KDB advantage It's a robbery fair and square Don't try to smooth it .
Why is Son even a question what exactly has he won and he was pretty meh at in the middle of the season, also Salah has ghosted after AFCON, KDB showed up after his injury as the stand out player
BS. He has benefitted from Peps City whereas Son did it all in a struggling Spurs side. Absolutely world class midfielder mind you. Just not deserved IMO.
bruyne just got good second half of the season,son has been consistently good from beginning although with a few off days but still consistent overall, would have thought of salah but he hasn't been good lately
Salahs still been good and getting crucial assists and still a few goals - just because he isn’t scoring very single game doesn’t mean he’s been bad. He’s been far better than KdB and son over the entire season - this is just recency bias imo
Another undeserved POTY award for him. This is just a victory for City's PR teams. Now before people say "Salah dropped off after AFCON", KDB was very much "invisible" until February. Salah was still making crucial contributions here and there since AFCON but no attention has been brought to it.
Absolutely deserved. He may be the best midfielder of the last 5 years along with Luka Modric. I can't think of another midfielders with the same consistency.
With all due respect to Modric and Kroos, neither ever reached the levels of this guy, he has everything - intelligence, passing and vision, finishing, dribbling, work rate, physicality etc. One of the few players I really wished to see in the white shirt.
There was a guy on the Chelsea subreddit trying to defend Mourinho’s decision to let him go to keep fucking Oscar who had a lil teeny tiny vein of form. I knew it was a bad choice then and now it looks to be the worst one ever made by the club. Crazy when you consider how many candidates for that we have.
Someone explain me the logic behind giving someone the pots award before the season is over. Doing it before the match ends makes sense because alot of people stop watching after the final whistle, but that argument doesnt work here.
De Bruyne was pants earlier this season. His game is one of millimeters and his game was a millimeter off coming back from the assault he took in the champions league final.
Salah is the correct winner this season. Most goals and assists kind of says it all. Everyone and their mother was going on about him being the best in the world earlier this season (true nor not), for a reason. Yeah his form cooled down, but even so he's playing good football and has been contributing a lot despite not scoring as much. As many others say, if you swapped the two halves of the season he'd get 100% of the votes.
Makes sense he’s the top scorer. Oh wait, not he isn’t. That’s Salah. Makes sense he’s had the most assists. Oh wait, not he hasn’t. That’s Salah. Pep is right, everyone does love Liverpool…
This isn't the most prestigious one by the way, that's PFA Player of the Year
doubt it differs ths time round, football players seems to love de bruyne
Thanks. Keeping track of the awards is difficult
Yeah I think they are giving this to KDB and the PFA will go to Salah probably.
The awards are jokes tbh, Kane definitely deserved it last year it’s just a popularity contest and going with the consensus votes instead of actually thinking about who should win
City getting a clean sweep every year of these awards and still complain they don't get enough praise.
How many different awards are there
The streets will never forget Son.
My sleep paralysis demon is fifa 17 2POTM Son. I’ll be 90 and still remember the name son heung min
Guess people 2 weeks ago being concerned about recency bias weren't joking...
I’d argue that KDB wasn’t even City’s best player. Cancelo was crucial all season long.
[удалено]
He has same g/a as KDB. KDB is a midfielder.
I think streets will do just fine, son doesn’t influence games as good as de bruyne.
[удалено]
son died for this lol. Poor guy
Kevin De Bruyne wins Premier League Player of the Second Half of the Season
They should submit votes after the first half of the season, keep them sealed, and then submit another round of votes at the end of the season. Then, unseal them together.
Sadly, recency bias effects all awards
Except the last game.
So that's twice in a row now that a player got both the most goals and assists but still didn't win PotS
assuming Salah ends tomorrow top of both lists, he'll be the 4th to manage it in the PL era. None of them have won POTY
[удалено]
Goals and assists don’t fully represent the quality of a player. If that were the case then how would a defender ever win this award?
That's what the Golden Boot's for.
Can’t believe VVD won it :(
Salah isnt close to assists. Jarrod Bowen already won there, don't sleep on Bowen 😤
For anyone who gets confused around this time, PFA is the main one.
Salah's performance before the AFCON is forgotten? He isn't bad now either. Damn people have very narrow memory.
To have dropped off in such a crucial time of the season just hurts his stock drastically.
People are also racist
Disagree personally, Son or Salah had a better season even if Salah dropped off since March
[удалено]
It's been more like December for Salah. Should have been Son though, yeah.
Nah, KdB been on a goal scoring rampage against the top teams this season.
How often did you watch KDB this season out of curiosity?
[удалено]
Salah dropped off after December, he certainly didn't deserve it.
Salah never came back from the AFCON mentally.
If Salah's first half of the season was reversed with his 2nd it wouldn't have even been a contest. Sad.
KDB had a meh first half and a banging second half when the vote was, probably the difference
Kdb did literally nothing in the 1st half.
Still leading in both assists and goals, how was this even a contest?
Its racism plain and simple
Honestly between De Bruyne, Son and Salah I put him down as least likely. I feel like Salah had a greater peak in his first half than De Bruyne did in the second and Son for just being consistent throughout. Although can't disagree with any of them and being top helps
well, blame the fans for voting wrong...
Son was not consistent throughout. Poor first half of the season
Okay Pep really can't complain about City not getting awards now
that’s not what his complaint was tho, right?
Tbf it had to be mentioned because they were always overlooked.
expected this after phil won it
Dj Khaled tag
another one
Honestly Rodri deserves a shout
People will talk about Salah and Son and De Bruyne, but this is Alisson Becker robbed first and foremost.
True, Allison has had an all time great goalkeeping season, genuinely has reached the point where you feel confident when he's in a 1 on 1. But a goalkeeper is never gonna win player of the season.
Selling pots for piss boiling. Still have some available after the Foden thread nearly sold out.
He was very iffy in first half of season. Great second half but surely someone was better more consistently.
This thread is fun
I love the guy, but come on man, Salah and Son have a much more compelling case. Golden Boot contenders, Assist contenders, and you’re telling me this man is player of the season? I just dont see it Robbie
He pulled the strings for the winning team of the premier league. The others simply did not
Don't mind me, just here to watch the world burn.
Curious question, who do City fans think their best player has been this season?
His PR is unmatched
I read this exact comment about foden
Tbh he doesn't do any crazy PR, everyone just loves watching him play, including fans from other teams, which is what makes the difference I guess
Even Bernardo Silva, Rodri or Cancelo should be ahead for City.
mid 2010s Dani Alves vibes. We're gonna get KDB in top lists and teams of the season for the next decade no matter what.
Kevin de bruyne doesn't have any PR, I can see you're a Juventus fan but in England and in the Premier league Kevin de bruyne is the one player in the league right now everyone from pundits, all the fanbases even rivals, media all respects, he might aswell be the face of the league
As an avid United supporter of 40 years I hate admitting it but De Bruyne is indeed magnificent. Hopefully it'll carry on for tomorrow so the bloody scousers don't take the title.
Manchester unity
Let’s be honest here, Bruyne was very good when it mattered, at the end of the season.
He was good at the end of the season and in the big games, that's people tend to remember.
Lmao , when it mattered ? Bruh all season matters If we compare both players effect , Salah leads not only in goals but also in assists which is supposed to be KDB advantage It's a robbery fair and square Don't try to smooth it .
3Peat, he did it King Kev🤩
Top player but this award is kind of a joke.
Naah KDB was balling but he wasnt the best player in the league imo
Wtf what is this man😂😂😂😂😂.
You didn't even mention Son. Cementing the fact he is the most underrated player in the league.
Sonny gets robbed
Mount should have got ypoty and Son should have won this
[удалено]
Why is Son even a question what exactly has he won and he was pretty meh at in the middle of the season, also Salah has ghosted after AFCON, KDB showed up after his injury as the stand out player
If we ignoring KDB's form in 1st half of season then why we not doing the same for Salah's form post Afcon?
well deserved. surely one of the greatest midfielders of all time if he keeps going like this.
LOL oh boy get the popcorn out
Deserved but I wish Salah would have won it 😾
My fucking midfielder, I love this man .
Salah leading goals and assists
These awards must be paid for
🍿
BS. He has benefitted from Peps City whereas Son did it all in a struggling Spurs side. Absolutely world class midfielder mind you. Just not deserved IMO.
Pep's City benefits from him
Outside of Son, Kane and Kulu who else scores for spurs?
[удалено]
It’s just nice to see your own teams players rewarded. It’s not that weird?
I haven’t seen that much ‘salt’, it’s just confusion tbh
[удалено]
Deservedly. This is daylight robbery on Alisson Becker.
INJECT INTO MY VEINSSSSS
One of the greatest midfielder of all time. Fully deserved 👍🏼
What has that to do with a season award?
Son wins PFA
He doesnt deserve it.
Thought everyone was biased against Liverpool, Pep?
bruyne just got good second half of the season,son has been consistently good from beginning although with a few off days but still consistent overall, would have thought of salah but he hasn't been good lately
Salahs still been good and getting crucial assists and still a few goals - just because he isn’t scoring very single game doesn’t mean he’s been bad. He’s been far better than KdB and son over the entire season - this is just recency bias imo
That does it. City winning 5-0 tomorrow
[удалено]
Fully deserved👏👏
Another undeserved POTY award for him. This is just a victory for City's PR teams. Now before people say "Salah dropped off after AFCON", KDB was very much "invisible" until February. Salah was still making crucial contributions here and there since AFCON but no attention has been brought to it.
🥱🥱🧂🧂
Ridiculous
I don’t get how you can top both the goals and assist charts, yet not win POTY. Salah and Kane seething.
probably because there’s more to the game besides g/a, but that’s just my dumb opinion
Cos not everything’s black and white. Think about all the chances people miss off Kevin’s assists. We are one of the most wasteful sides
Son, Salah, and Ronaldo all robbed
Ronaldo lmfao
Son and Salah? You have a good argument there. Ronaldo? You’ve lost us all.
White blonde and blue eyes. Deserved 🙏🏼
Ffs
KDB has missed 8 games this season and played under 30 minutes in a further 5 games. Surely this should be “player of the 2/3 season”
[удалено]
Yes but he plays for Qatar City.
Deserved, guy is a machine
Not really, that is his PR you are looking.
Today I learned: The game is only based around goals and assists. There is no other aspect to the game.
Yeah, because Kevin is so superior in absolutely every aspect unrelated to goals and assists?
The fact there’s people that think he doesn’t deserve it 😭
Salah or Son deserved it more in my opinion.
Deserved
Fair enough.
It's not though lol, it's kinda bullshit actually.
Should've been Son but people claiming Salah are clueless
Spurs fan here, but tbh I feel that Salah and Son are both up for contention, not one over the other specifically.
Why?
Som robbed
Absolutely deserved. He may be the best midfielder of the last 5 years along with Luka Modric. I can't think of another midfielders with the same consistency.
Deserved
To be honest if KDB doesn’t win PFA Player Of the Year as well as this then that’s bullshit. This guy is something else
Fuck off
Liverpool bias btw
Biggest robbery since Messi over Lewa
Wonder how Pep will spin this about Liverpool? Thought Liverpool get all the awards? Haha
Wonder how Liverpool flairs twist this about Pep
BEAUTIFUL
Recency bias
Insanity. Not even in City’s top 3 players this season let alone the league’s
https://www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/uumyfy/got_to_love_xenophobia_and_recency_bias_but_the/
Is this just the Fifa voting award one?
Deserved
Swap Salah‘s first half and De Bruyne‘s second half around and there’s no discussion that Salah was the best player of the season. What a joke
Sad that a player that is pro slavery and public executions is allowed to win this
With all due respect to Modric and Kroos, neither ever reached the levels of this guy, he has everything - intelligence, passing and vision, finishing, dribbling, work rate, physicality etc. One of the few players I really wished to see in the white shirt.
Lmao has to be a bait
It was either him or Son this season.
The disrespect Salah gets is mad
Oil.
Ew
kane got robbed last season and now this season mo got robbed. this is ridiculous.
Not sure you can say Salah was robbed with a massive 3 league goals in 3 months.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH omfg, why even have awards if they're going to pull this shit every year
Did the season start mid December? Salah very clearly was the best player in the league this season.
If we award this for half a season then salah surely wins it. If it’s awarded for the full season then son has to win it.
Salah is still SEVEN goal involvements ahead of any other player despite the drop off in the 2nd half of the season
Salah’s form dropped off an actual cliff, even he was just average since AFCON he would’ve walked this
Well done to him. Hope he finally learns how to turn up in big European games at some point
Chelsea legends Kdb and salah fighting over this
Over Harry Maguire? Smh
How can you hand out awards like this before the season ends?
There was a guy on the Chelsea subreddit trying to defend Mourinho’s decision to let him go to keep fucking Oscar who had a lil teeny tiny vein of form. I knew it was a bad choice then and now it looks to be the worst one ever made by the club. Crazy when you consider how many candidates for that we have.

Face of the Premier league

Salah shouldn't have celebrated Christmas.
Good for UAE :)
Well deserved!
Bernardo Silva just lowered his pitchfork
son robbed
🥱
Should be Alisson, but keepers never win these awards :(
Makes sense he’s the top scorer. Oh wait, not he isn’t. That’s Salah. Makes sense he’s had the most assists. Oh wait, not he hasn’t. That’s Salah. Pep is right, everyone does love Liverpool…
