Shearer tips Henderson for Player of the Year "Because of the way he has lead Liverpool to the title".
VK did that twice running and got nothing! Same way as David & Sergio have constantly been overlooked.
The worst part about that was when Richard's pipes up and says he agrees with the reasoning and then says it should go to mane!! Dont worry micah your bias isnt showing as your nothing more than a stooge!

To be fair to Micah, this season I would give POTY to Mane who has been outstanding though it grates to say it because, as well as playing for the Dippers, Mane can be an arse at times. It's a disgrace that KDB, Merlin and Sergio haven't won the top individual award in past seasons but sadly I agree with Micah about Mane this year.

Each to their own but I think most neutrals have argued it's KDB. Most goal contributions, most chances created, most assists potentially record breaking. Mane has been fantastic but I think Salah is still the better player.
My issue with Richards is when he said 'it has to be a Liverpool player'. Instead of calling out the double standard, Micah continued the narrative himself. It's totally fine if you think Mane has been the best player this season but say that, not just because it has to be a Liverpool player and he wins it by default. It's the reason why our players feel underappreciated in these awards because of how the goalposts suddenly change to go against us.

You make a fair point but I think Micah is feeling his way into the role a bit and he must feel very much the junior at times. It would have been ideal for him to have pointed out the lack of individual honours for our players in years where we have dominated but in the moment he didn't. Let's not be too hard on him like some on here.Each to their own but I think most neutrals have argued it's KDB.

Liked him at first but just comes across as too jokey. In danger of becoming a parody figure. Not offered much insight and rolled out plenty of clichés. Dispointed.

Yeah I get that and he genuinely brightens the mood when he comes on. Personally, I don't have much of an issue with him on TV anyways, people point out that he's not the best in terms of analysis but who on TV actually is? Potentially only Neville tries to offer genuine insight and nuance to football discussions, outside of that it's just dire viewing.

I don't think Micah is going to raise the bar in terms of analysis. Good to have an ex-City player around still. Hopefully he nails the role and starts bigging City up more!

Clearly a dipper.
