POTY - Virgil Van Dijk

Sterling should have won this, VD is a very good player and has shored up the dippers defence but Sterling has been utterly outstanding this season and although VD was proclaimed the winner in the media many months ago, he's not even on the same lap as Sterling.....
 
The individual awards are interesting in how the recipients look at them. Does Van Dijk believe that he is the player of the year, especially when he voted for Sterling (!) or would he bin it (see what I did there?) for his team to carry off the main prize, and if they don't win it, is he left thinking "If only you fuckers on this team were as good as me, we would have strolled it!

Why would anyone choose a defender who is the lynch pin of a defence that has thrown away a 10 point lead in the Prem, over attacker who has been instrumental in clawing that deficit back and putting their team on the cusp of the title?

Well, let"s see who they play for.
 
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
 
You could make strong arguments for any of van Dijk, Sterling or Bernardo Silva tbf. Not really bothered that he has won it though. He's had an exceptional season and if that's who his peers voted for (whenever the vote was held) then you can't really argue against it. There's presumably less bias in that vote than the FWA award.
 
I personally don’t have too many complaints about VVD winning the Player of the Year, he’s been a tower of strength for Liverpool and had they missed him for any length of time during the season I’m pretty certain they would be more than a single point behind. Testament to how we’ve coped without key players such as KDB, he’s so important not sure Liverpool would have coped as admirably.

He has brought calm, organisation, leadership, domination, etc, everything that Kompany brought to us when he developed into the finest defender in the league.

Just as I have no complaints with the awards, I don’t think anyone could have any complaints should Raheem have won it. Outstanding season, and has developed into a player I didn’t think was possible.
