Guest firetotheworks Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Wow, that's pretty unanimous. I thought Diame would be much closer than that and possibly win it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Diame deserves it, but he wouldn't if it hadn't been for Lascelles. And the best thing is, there is no bad blood at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I think it's unanimous because Diame's only really been good since January. Lascelles has been crucial in both of our great runs of form. Most of the others have had half seasons. Easy to forget we were playing lots of Hayden/Merino during that good run in Aug/Sep/Oct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I can see this 'Lascelles sorted Diame out' thing becoming a 'Williamson couldn't get a game for Portsmouth' thing. He got a personal trainer and improved massively. Fair play if Lascelles gave Diame a kick up the arse, but he still had to go out there and do it and he did it so well that a canny few people think he's been our best player this season.

I totally get Lascelles getting the vote like. He's been so obviously influential that you can't ignore him. For me it's probably a case of Lascelles' consistency at a lower level for the full season along with his leadership vs Diame's consistency at a much higher level, but for not quite as long.

Cronky Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I know we only got half a season from him, but I voted for Diame. He's solved our long-standing DM position, and it's raised the team's effectiveness to a new level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diame, brilliant as his second half of the season was, has been anything but consistent over the course of the season. He’s gone from regularly being dropped to being arguably our most in form player. God knows how he shows up after the summer. Our MVP has to be Lascelles. What a fucking great season he’s had Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

' I meant that he's been consistent since he turned his form around at the turn of the year. Since then he hasn't had anything below a 7/10 performance in any match imo.

Aye, but in a Player of the Season thread I would have thought the time span to judge would be the full season, over which Diame has been very inconsistent. I would gladly give him Player of the Second Half of the Season though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I think Diame has been our most infuential player this season. A colossus, absolutely bossed midfield against players like Pogba, who cost nearly as much as him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that he was consistent from the turn of the year, massively inconsistent to me is being good one match and bad the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'd honestly be wary to give it to Diame until he's been thoroughly drug tested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 It made perfect sense man. I just think we can’t ignore how mediocre he was pre turn of the year in a POTS vote. Most would have gladly seen the back of him in January. Still, deserves all the more credit for his resurgence, but let’s not go overboard. Without Lascelles leadership and defensive qualities we would have gone down this season, no doubt in my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Could be any of Lascelles, Shelvey, Diame or Perez. Although many others have been absolutely solid too. Incredible really, what a tune Rafa has got out of them. Going for Shelvey as he's utterly brilliant to watch and we would suffer so much without his positive passing in the team.

Shearergol Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Captain fantastic for me. England captain in the making. Then Shelvey, Diame, Perez, Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'm going to go for Diame because his turnaround was unexpected and pivotal. Thought he was going the way of Geremi but instead went full Viera on us Lascelles, Shelvey, Perez and Dubravka are my top 5. Letdowns of the season: Clark (Shame but he couldn't cut it) Darlow (Threw it away too many times) Gale (Not sure what was affecting him at the start of the season but it cost him momentum and is lucky his only competition was Joselu) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Lascelles is the clear winner, but so many stepped up especially in 2018, including Perez, Shelvey, Dubravka and Diame. Ritchie, Kenedy, Lejuenne and even Dummett too made vital contributions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
