PFA Awards 2014/15

[Loonerty]

Saido Mane over Sanchez?

I mean.....really?

6 goals 2 assists v 15 goals 10 assists

Probably doesn't want to give Eden's competition too many votes.

 

[Shoei]

Good point. Though I think both will end up in the team.

 

[Benno_900]

Who else is going to threaten Hazard's position in the team?

There's room for both of them. Terry is just a moron.

 

[Cruyff14]

I am surprised that people seem to have forgotten footballers are idiots.

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah they probably will both end up in the team.

Maybe Terry knows that and wants to give recognition to some others who are less likely?

 

[moomba]

One example of why PFA awards a pointless.

 

[Benno_900]

Yeah they probably will both end up in the team.

Didn't know he had a vested interested in increasing Sadio Mane's reputation.

Or maybe Terry is simply a moron?

 

[moomba]

Wouldnt surprise me if they shared agents.

 

[Loonerty]

You should settle down with your anti-Chelsea agenda.

 

[chef]

You should settle down with your anti-Chelsea agenda.

Campaign perhaps?

 

[Cruyff14]

It is getting tiresome.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Terry probably picked players that didn't completely s**t the bed when they played Chelsea this season.

No Sanchez included is ridiculous, but no Sanchez in a team that isn't allowed to have Hazard in it either is a right laugh.

Coutinho and Sterling over Silva and Sanchez is cringeworthy. Mata also questionable.

That whole midfield is questionable.

No box to box or dm at all.

[Magma]

coutinho over silva. the banter is off the charts

 

[moomba]

Aguero and Silva can consider themselves unlucky. I've said before Silva is highly under-rated and this just backs it up.

But PFA is pretty much a joke award anyway.

 

[Dignan]

I love Coutinho, but he hasn't been that good.

Jesus.

 

[ADL9798]

Yeah I was about to say, looks like John Terry wasn't the only player to have been impressed by Coutinho this season!

Am I surprised? Yes and no. He's been in great touch all season, consistently taking control of games and having a massive influence whether he gets on the scoresheet or not (similar to Modric), and his style is naturally going to earn him a few admirers. Having said that, I thought Silva or Fabregas would've been nominated ahead of him. Despite the latter's form tailing off in the 2nd half of the season those 2 have been slightly more influential in my opinion.

They're all lining up to be Hazard's bridesmaids though, clear favourite for POTY for me.

 

[moomba]

Slightly?

 

[Magma]

silva averages literally twice as many key passes and more than double chances created per 90 mins. more goals, same amount of assists

he's not even close to silva.

 

[pieman123]

Wtf at Coutinho . Fabregas, Silva, Schneiderlin, Mata, Herrera, Matic, Eriksen or Cazorla would have been more deserving.

 

[jod23]

I think they should do a POTY first. Once they announce the POTY then the YPOTY nominee's shouldnt be allowed to be players already nominated.

Hazard is nominated for both and I think he will win POTY so that instantly makes him YPOTY also. Making it a moot point.

Or how about making the YPOTY actually about young players instead of blokes 24 and under. 24!! Jesus. It should be 21 and under.

So now it will just be Hazard, Hazard. Boring.

It also takes away from a guy like Kane who deserves recognition and I think deserves the YPOTY award but now wont get it.

 

[jod23]

Also, interesting nominations. Nice to see Coutinho and Sterling nominated for YPOTY and Coutinho surprisingly nominated for POTY. He has been good, not that good though.

 

[ADL9798]

Maybe the fact that City were losing every week when the voting for this was submitted counted against Silva in the end? Ditto Fabregas and his form slump in the 2nd half of the season?

Like I said, I wouldn't have had him or De Gea in the top 5 (top 15 maybe) and probably would've had Silva & Fabregas ahead of them, Matic can consider himself unlucky too in my eyes.

Where did all the votes come from? Coutinho's undoubtedly had a very good season, and his game against Newcastle the other night was a good example of how you can utterly dominate a game from start to finish and not register a goal or assist. He's turned in performances like that all year, obviously he's done it enough times that hundreds of players across the league have taken notice. Were those performances good enough to place him in the top 5? Personally I don't think so, but the people who play against him every week obviously did so there you go.

 

[Cruyff14]

I don't remember Coutinho doing much before Christmas.
