Jordan Henderson wins FWA Footballer of the Year

[bobbyowenquiff]

The decision confirms what everyone knows. That football writers in the UK are out of touch with their audience. It's one of the reasons most of them are working in a dying industry. They don't understand that the relentless pursuit of clickbait (often driven by overseas website users) is ultimately killing their careers. They have no credibility.
Choosing Henderson over KDB or even Mane sends out a signal about the knowledge of sports reporters in the UK. It's not really a surprise though because this is the country where Alan Pardew and Tony Pulis won Manager of the Year.

Yes, wouldn't have argued if Mane had won it. He was great for the first 2/3 of the season.

A serious question why are professional footbballers so thick ?

David Silva and KDB wipe the floor with him, not fut to lace their boots. Surely professional footballers can see that, but on the other hand might explain why so many dont make good managers.

Some of the best managers were bang average as players, just as great players end up making shitty managers. Guardiola, Ancelotti and Zidane are exceptions.

No wonder this lad fucked off to the rags.

Singlehandedly wins them the title* and still doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Hahahaha. Not a single fan putting bias aside believes Jordan Henderson or Joey Barton without the temper as he’s correctly called is or has been better than KDB for even a second this season. They’ve just damaged their own little brand beyond repair. He wouldn’t even make top 5 best Liverpool players this season.

just think about it last season city win 3 major trophies and retain the title and still not got a player good enough to win the awards ?? manchester city could win everything, win the league unbeaten get 114 points, score 200 goals, sterling scores 50 goals, and 10 hat tricks, KDB gets 40 assists plus 20 goals, ederson gets 30 clean sheets, and then the awards goes to ????

we are hated right across the board and the media have a bloody cheek to say its us city fans that are obsessed and bitter ? to bloody right am bitter, when you hear that 8 clubs voted and sent a letter to the CAS panel, wanting action taken for a crime we did not commit and was a media witch hunt fuel by utd and liverpool arsenal and europes so called elite teams

its fun that people still think manchester city can win the champions league ?? dream on, football is bent and the powers at the top will make its clear when city face madrid, the officials for that game will be under orders and it will be ugly

Spot on

Some writer just said on sky sports the criteria is also what a player does off the pitch as well,Henderson for BLM collection off the players and rashford for school dinners for children,so the contradiction is kdb 2nd for what he has done on the pitch.

I wonder what Luis Suarez did off the pitch when he won it?

Pretty remarkable is this stat, it seems like everytime we win the league there's alot of mental gymnastics done to explain why someone else deserved it.
