What happens in the final seven might decide it. Pope was probably player of the season at one point but the red card before the cup final blotted his copybook. For overall consistency of performance I'd say Schar - but you could make a case for loads of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Player of the Season: So many, but Trippier. Half the other players depend on him. Flop of the Season: Ryan Fraser. Seems to have been a bad apple unfortunately. Used to be well ahead of Almiron and Murphy. Most Improved: Almiron. Wouldn't have believe this season 12 months ago. Unsung Hero: Longstaff among our fans, Schar in the wider world. Signing of the Season: Pope. Set the tone. Edited April 27, 2023 by 80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Player of the Season: Joelinton, but it's incredibly close between him, Trippier and Schär. Flop of the Season: A tie between Fraser and Targett Most Improved: Almiron Unsung Hero: Schär Signing of the Season: Pope Edited April 27, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Player of the Season: Bruno -tempted to give to Joe, Trippier, Pope but then I realized that's cos I've just gotten used to how class Bruno is. Flop of the Season: Fraser - thought he'd be a decent bit-part player after the end of last season. Most Improved: Almirón - seems clear Unsung Hero: Schar (Defence in general gets a lot of praise, but for the cb Botman gets the attention as the flash signing). Signing of the Season: Pope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Player of the Season: Bruno - it feels like you can make a case for a good few. Joelinton, Trippier, Schar. But when Bruno doesn't play, we are a totally different side and it is really noticeable how much weaker we are. Flop of the Season: Targett - seems harsh singling him out, as he's not been playing and putting in bad performances. He just can't get in the team for whatever reason and seems like a waste of money, at this stage. Most Improved: Almiron. Unsung Hero: Schar or Longstaff. Signing of the Season: NEEEEEEK Pope - he's had a mini-wobble of late. But he has been flawless nearly all season, prior to that. Isak and Botman seem like transformative signings, moving forward. But they cost quite a bit of money in comparison and Pope is the best keeper we have had in my lifetime, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Player of the Season: Bruno. The ankle knock has curtailed him a little, but we look so much weaker when he doesn't play it's hard not to consider him our most important player. Flop of the Season: Targett. Feels like even now he's back form injury Eddie doesn't really fancy him. Which is a shame as Burn has need a rest since the cup final really. Most Improved Player: Schar. From solid PL CB who is decent with the ball to one of the best CBs in the league. Unsung Hero: Longstaff. Finally starting to get his recognition after the Villa game, gets through so much work. If he could add a little more composure in his finishing he'd be a £60m player. Signing of the Season: Isak. I thought/think Wilson is class, but this lad is a different level. First properly world class forward we've had since Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzie Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Player of the Season: Bruno. Flop of the Season: Kuol or Anderson. Most Improved Player: Big Joe but could include Little Joe, Longstaff, Murphy or Almiron. Unsung Hero: Longstaff. Signing of the Season: Isak or Botman.

ponsaelius Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Got to say it'll be interesting to see if any of our players end up in the PL Team of the Season. I think Trippier is a pretty good bet but not sure outside of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Player of the Season: Joelinton - some may have had more exciting performances but again no one was as consistently good - unbelievable that £40m has become a snip for this man Flop of the Season: N/A - seems anyone being called a flop is purely by virtue of not being able to get in to the team which feels harsh, and I had no expectations for those players anyway Most Improved: Almiron - maybe would've gone Murphy if there wasn't an unsung hero option for him but Almiron more than fits the bill - whether that first half of the season efficiency was a purple patch or not, it was beautiful Unsung Hero: Murphy - you could always see a willingness from him but it's amazing the contribution Howe has managed to unlock from him Signing of the Season: Isak - I see a parallel universe where we slide out of European contention if we didn't have him available to give Wilson a clearly needed rest - even if it was half a season he's the one for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Trippier is a pretty good bet but not sure outside of that. I think Pope will or should get in there. Liverpool mistake aside he's been by far the best 'keeper in the league this season. Botman is always in and around supporters of other clubs' teams of the season as well. Think it'll be something like: Pope Trippier Stones Saliba, White, Martinez, Ake or Botman Shaw or Zinchenko Casemiro or Rodri KDB Odegaard Saka Haaland Grealish Manager of the season: Guardiola, Arteta, or Howe.

Paullow Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Crazy how we drew 11 of our first 22 league games, exactly half, but we have now gone 10 games without one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Assist of the season, Willock or Isak? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 It's a tough one but I'd go with Willock for the elegance. You could harshly argue Isak was bullying tired children. But what a pair to choose from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Willock for me. As good as Isak’s was, I don’t even think it’s close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Isak by a mile in my opinion. Dribbling is a harder skill than passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just the small problem of it technically not being an assist. There's just something about that Willock pass. It's been on repeat in my mind since Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BergenMagpie Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I think these last 1.5 years will forever be my glory days* as a NUFC supporter. We have such a perfect mix of old players outperforming what we considered to be their limits and a couple new superstars who fits into the group really well. Everyone involved seems to be loving life. Its so charming to still have a clumsy looking player like BDB at left back, the Brazilian bromance and Longstaff/Almiron (whose careers were on life support pre Howe) giggling like schoolboys at any opportunity. Its also so refreshing to see the small actions that causes big leaps on the commercial side, as they remind us how neglected the club was during the MA era. For me it doesnt get any better than this. Id much rather see this group of players who I all love perform to their fullest to achieve top 4 than seeing a high turnover team of mercenaries win the champions league Think this moment epitomises the season. Its been so fucking wholesome *Became a fan in 2003, but only started watching games from December 2008. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Was thinking about players who played under SBR last time we were in the champions league and this squad to try and come up with a combined 11 Obviously formations and the game have changed alot since then but fuck it... I'd go Given Trippier Woodgate Botman Bernard Solano Bruno Joelinton Robert Shearer Isak Edited April 29, 2023 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/ewigeTabelle/pokalwettbewerb/GB1 Today was our 400th Premier League win. We are also closing in on a positive goal difference, currently -6. Passing Everton would also be in reach in a couple of years, especially if they went down this season.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Forget player etc of the season, the main award is the top knee slider in the squad love Miggys transformation from excited slide to the im the boss slide, and 9ft 5 Burn knee sliding was fun. bit for me Little Joe has the slide nailed and picks up this particular award. any other left field awards to hand out?
