Couldn't care less about these individual awards. Its shit anyway.
I still couldn't believe Giggs winning it during the 2008/2009 season when Nando and Stevie was banging goals for fun
Very true (Vidic was a monster that season as well), but it's always nice to see our boys represented and rewarded for good form. Currently, I think Phil and Adam would both be in that six with Costa, Hazard, Sanchez and probably Kante. If they can sustain that form it's only good for Liverpool.
Plus that was the players' player award, personally I pay more notice to the football writers' award, even if they did once pick Scotty Parker
Superb player, people bemoaned the fact that he previously didn't contribute to the stats sheet. He always contributed in other ways, I guess it took for him to bang in goals/assists for people to finally notice him. I love players like him, who contribute even when they aren't scoring, they don't let it affect their overall game. Had a few arguments on here with people who just couldn't see it, now they do even though it was always there in the first place.
Agree with that. But equally, as much as some of us have always highly rated Lallana and always seen him as one of our lesser problems in the first eleven, you can't pretend scoring at a rate of 1 in 2 from midfield doesn't take him up a level. It changes him from being the facilitator he was previously into a facilitator
and a match-winner. That's a special talent.
