Ketsbaia Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Alli probably beats Kane and Lukaku, yet doesn't join them in the main award. And young Michael Keane is 24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Alli should be up for the main award, like. Canny daft that he isn't. It should be Kante and Alli. I disagree that he should be up for the main award. I think Alli's performances this year have been a good illustration of how I see the difference between POTY and Young POTY. His all-round play has been hit and miss but he's come up with big moments time and time again, which is what I would expect form Young POTY. Somebody who's still learning the game, but is making a huge impact anyway. I'd be tempted to say the same about Kane, but I don't like giving Young POTY to somebody who has already had two full seasons as a Premier League starter. Ditto Lukaku and Sterling. I still don't like having players nominated for both awards. Can't argue too much about the POTY candidates, although I'm not convinced by Zlatan. Maybe I just haven't watched enough Man U this year to make a call. I'd have Alderweireld in POTY ahead of Kane too, frankly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 On Alli - gets compared to Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes but to me he's more of a forward than them. A goalscoring AM perhaps or secondary striker. Rather than a CM. Perhaps Muller, Totti & Del Piero are better comparisons? I don't know. He loses the ball A LOT whenever i see him. He's a great eye for a killer ball but otherwise i'm not impressed with his build-up play or general passing abilities. I tend to consider the 4-4-2 the most generalist formation, in that if you had to stick him in a role it would be upfront although he would drop deep.

The College Dropout Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Still slightly amazed by how good toby alderweireld has been in England. I watched a lot of Atleti that season he was there - he would only play as FB - largely off the bench. Obviously he's not as good as Juanfran or the Brazilian lad in those positions. He had a great season at CB for Southampton and despite letting Miranda leave they didn't keep him. He's got to be better than Savic. Oh well.

The few times I saw him for Atletico, he looked nervous, but you could see with an extended period in the team, he'd be solid like he is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky pants, the same meal in the same cafe etc… At the moment we’re specifically looking for Newcastle United fans with pre-game rituals. As a well known NCFC fanzine, I wondered if you, or any of your Newcastle supporting friends have any interesting superstitions you’d like to share? We’re heading up to Newcastle this Friday (14th April) to start filming fans in the build up to the Leeds game. The finished videos will be posted on The Sun Football Facebook page which currently has over 3 million likes. It will also be shared on the Talksport website.
