POTY - Virgil Van Dijk

[Manchester33]

Liverpool Trophy's this year perhaps:

Premier league runners up champions and moral victors
POTY VVD
Manager of the year Plopp
BBC sports personality team of the year

Jesus Christ. I hate the scousers as much as anyone, but this is rag level arrogant. We've not won the league yet!

Funny time for the awards with the season not over?

What if VVD was to jump in two footed on one of his next opponents and it resulted in a double leg fracture?

It was just a coming together.

Last season this wasn't true. Salah scored 7 times against the big 6.
Besides KDB was more of a creator last season. As is often the case, goalscorers are more regularly chosen. Anyone of KDB or Salah would have been a deserving winner.

Which is fair.
Anyone between VVD & Sterling winning it this year would also be fair ...oh wait , I see a pattern developing

How do you like your football? A great defender who is applauded by the stadium crowd or a forward who brings a stadium crowd to their feet roaring their applause. There should only be one winner of this and it is not a defender. Football is about goals, that is why we go.

Not sure I agree with that logic.

 

[p.taker]

Maybe missed it but has the vote for the young player of the year vote been leaked? Doesn't it have to be Sterling?

 

[Blue Til Death]

Ask VD who's top of the league ....

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Not sure I agree with that logic.

Same goes for me. Van Dijk is incredible, so I won’t be to bitter about Raz losing out. I was miffed about Salah winning it last year though, KDB deserved it.

 

[Rammyblues]

I am sure Sterling won't give a fuck if he has a treble domestic medals haul and VD has POTY award.

 

[DrBlueBob]

I wouldnt take it if i was him, the treatment they gave him cannot be put into words

I think the treatment was all put into words given that it's the writers award! :-)

 

[kaz7]

Fully deserved, well done big man.

Bollocks

I don't like how this award is announced before the end of the season. If Liverpool win the league, fair enough, if City win it, surely we have someone more deserving?

In all fairness though, VVD has been unreal. Is it the best season by a CB in Premier League history? He's basically dragged Liverpool to a 90+ point season. Without him, they'd probably finish with high 70/low 80 points. I don't think the same can be said about any individual City player?

He has dragged them to about 80 pts,goalies for other teams have given them the rest along with numerous offside goals,take away all that and they are nowhere near us,even when we get to 100pts and smash all the records none of our players get it,it's meaningless in that regard

Let the dippers celebrate having a defender as player of the year... I’d much rather watch flowing football and win trophies ;)

 

[bavarian blue]

We win the trophies that matter.

Deserved. A world class defender who we should buy as Kompany's replacement.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Isn’t voting still open until tomorrow at midnight?

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Yaya was never the same after missing out to Beaver Teeth.
Raz is going to need constant monitoring after this. One careless mention of birthday cake could throw the poor bugger over the edge.

A player we should have bought from Celtic as Vinnie's understudy instead of Mangala

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

how often does a defender win it?

who was the last defender to win POTY??
