FIFA Best Player Awards 2019

[Ric]

Not a single City player nominated. You have to laugh. I guess it makes Guardiola a shoo-in for the managerial award though, achieving what he has without a single top 10 player.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Bernardo, Aguero and Sterling should feel very hard done by.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

That is a disgrace, it's just a popularity contest now. How on earth is bernardo not on that list let alone sterling and aguero. Pep really must be a genius winning 4 trophies with no players in the top 10 and Liverpool have 3!

Hilarious list. Bernardo Silva and Sterling shouldn’t just be on there but would be two of the favourites to win it.

I could do this with at least half the list but what has Kane done to make the list? In the league, both had better seasons, sterling winning league awards ahead of Kane as proof. In Europe, Kane spent the majority of Spurs’ champs league run injured and did absolutely nothing in the final and likewise for England he’s been largely anonymous for a long time. He’s the perfect example of them just picking the biggest names for the sake of it.

 

[Vialli98]

Bernardo Silva in, Harry Kane out.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Aside from a few notable exceptions, that shortlist is a fookin disgrace.....!
Haters keep on hating and City keep on winning, I will settle for that but it's still shocking some of the players listed.

And fans have had bets on a POTY/Ballon d'or....

It’s all Aguero’s fault.

But we love him regardless and life goes on.

Seriously though Peps gotta surely get them to practice regularly- it really is a sinful waste to not score from every penalty.
