The last time he lost a Premier League game was February 2023 - away to Spurs. He has played in 48 Premier League matches since then.
Ironically, if we avoid losing to Spurs away this time round, then that would be 50 games unbeaten. It's absolutely fucking stupid he isn't in this vote. Who the fuck came up with the shortlist? They want sacking.
Haaland is lead scorer, so he has to be in there by virtue of that. It's kind of indicative of what a special player he is that people here are saying "patchy season" when he's pretty much sown up the golden boot comfortably having only played 28 games. Apparently his "below par" result is 30 goal contributions in 28 games. Quite funny.
Foden just edges out Rodri for me, only for the joy of watching him play. Rodri is extremely efficient, functional, highly skilled. Foden, I don't so much care about his stats (even though this year they're brilliant), the way I feel watching him play is like looking at a Michaelangelo fresco or something. It's pure artistry.
