Wolfcastle Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Just now, Kid Icarus said: I was 11 so my memory's hazy but I'd put money on it being because of his consistency. Our better players had highs and lows throughout the season. Funny how Ferdinand won PFA POTY but didn't win our own award though. The votes for POTY are cast as early as January (maybe earlier), the gig itself is in March whilst our own reviews the full season or near enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 16 minutes ago, Shearergol said: Wait, VVD and Haaland are nominated? Yeah. For Gordon not to be nominated for the Young Player of the Year, when the likes of Udogie and Mainoo are, is mental. He's been our talisman all season in terms of performances and output. Looking at the nominations they seem determined to spread them across the teams depending on their position in the league rather than based on individual merit. We've been up and down and Isak is nominated for both, so that's that. FWIW I love Isak but Gordon has been the more consistent contributor of the two, without a doubt.

LiquidAK Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Yeah genuinely can't believe he's not even gotten a YPOTY nomination. You could make an arguement for him winning the main one tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Am I right in thinking Cole Palmer has been nominated for both young player and player of the season, yet Gordon not in either. Palmer has been great but you shouldn't be in both categories taking up a spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon should 100% be in the list of nominees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season record for pens won is Andy Johnson in 04/05 with 8, so could equal or better that with three games left. All time record is Vardy & Sterling on 23 which you think he’ll beat in a few seasons at his current rate. He’s on 8 if you add his Everton days in.

Mazzy Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Perhaps it's time to change the "young" player of the season award. Maybe limit it to 21yrs old from now on. Most of the guys on there have been playing at the top level for 4/5 years now. Would give other players a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It's not all that surprising tbh, and where it becomes more of a popularity contest when it's a league wide vote. While he's gone a long way to doing so, I'm guessing AG will take a little while longer to shake his undesirable scouse scallywag tag to the wider public. Whereas Isak has been quality for us twice as long, is cool as fuck and already being tapped up by the southern press for the Sky Six so he's the one outsiders will mostly hear about.

As a scouser myself I am offended! 🤣 Kidding aside, it's part of who he is. That mentality drives him on the pitch.

That being said, we all seemed to hate AG when we came up against him for Everton because he seemed such a snide little prick so I assume other clubs feel the same, and he probably didn't help that with his tantrum at being subbed last season. But he seems to have kept his intensity whilst being a shit ton more professional and likeable under Eddie which will take time for people that don't regularly watch us to see as the norm.

Agree with this - it shouldn't be a common occurrence that the YPOTY nominees include some of the best in the sport. U21 makes way more sense.

Probably about the same, because you are also given pens that you wouldn't without VAR, so it goes both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Didn't know you could win young player of the year at 23. That's crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
