This is hilarious, the media has absolutely painted itself into a corner now by licking out Sterling and Viiiiiiirrg for an entire season, now they have to choose between 2 for player of year and they can’t win

Liverpool fans will host a series of demonstrations and memorial services if sterling wins as their saviour didn’t get it - superb

The pedestal they have put Sterling on as the one man to save the world from racism will also be shot to shit if he is “overlooked” too

Pull up a chair guys!!

I’d love to say Son should win it, but it’s so blatantly obvious that Sterling should win. VVD is a clunky, hoofy cunt that is somehow described as world class.
 
Sterling should win it. Really don't get the VVD love-in. The press pre-decided he was going to be 'awesome' for pool before he even moved there. Done nothing extraordinary for me. Sterling has improved massively this year.

VVD has been immense. Just look at how many goals they have conceded since he joined. Plus it's not his defensive ability but his leadership qualities. He is vocal, he organises, he motivates the cunts around him. Worth every penny of the crazy sum they paid imo. 20 goals conceded just this season in the PL. That's why they are at the top of the league.

VVD, Sterling, Mane and Son have been the standout performers for me

and Sissoko of course :pochsmirk:
 
He's been dribbled past about 4 or 5 times. People have posted vids all over twitter.

But the press still go with the same narrative that he hasn't been. Which goes to prove that you probably shouldn't believe everything you read. Especially when it comes to Liverpool.

Though that's pretty similar to Alderweireld, who is also rarely dribbled past due to his superb reading of the game.

VVD has had a great season, as have Liverpool in general. But I'd probably say a change in the way they play, additional personnel (Allison, Fabinho, Keita) are also a reason why they have the best defensive record in the league. In the same way that Alderweireld signing for us wasn't the reason alone our defensive record was the best for 2 years running but the fact our style was different and we put in defensively solid midfielders (Dier, Dembele, Wanyama) instead of relying on Mason and Bentaleb.
As you say, just going on what I’ve read as I’ve not seen every one of his matches, so if the stat is wrong, fair enough. Always looked class when I have seen him though.
 
The official PFA Player Of The Year Nominations:

van Dijk
Aguero
Mane
Sterling
Hazard
Bernardo Silva.
 
No Son?

Also no young player either. I know Winks has had his injuries but thought he'd have done enough to be worthy of a nomination.

Interesting.

Don't think Son has been as good as those listed, personally.
