Koke Posted 24 July 2020 Share Posted 24 July 2020 Things aren't good for Kepa when Lampard prefers a 38 year old average keeper over him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les-TA-Jon Posted 24 July 2020 Share Posted 24 July 2020 How on earth do you sign a keeper for £70m and then it turns out he's 'not good enough'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to do a comparison of any striker that you'd consider to be a teams main man Goals per minute isn't the only useful metric for this debate though. What about chance/shot conversion? I'd wager players like Kane and Aguero not only get more chances, but receive better ones given their teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 24 July 2020 Share Posted 24 July 2020 Anyway, I don't want to get a rep as being anti-Vardy here! haha I'm just anti "Vardy is the best we'll ever have and there's no way we can replace his goals" We're a top 6 side and capable of attracting strikers that will score goals for us. Give a good quality premier league striker enough minutes on the pitch and he'll bang in the goals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been pivotal to the way Liverpool have played this season, but I personally think De Bruyne should maybe have got it instead. It's tough. KDB is obviously the better player but Henderson is a big part of Liverpool's team, as you said on your other post "the cog", and led them to the PL and CL. I heard Pep sounding like a typical Man City fan on the radio. "Ohhh we won the league and a Liverpool player won it", when Sterling actually won it. Them lot act like spoilt kids.

I do think it says a lot though that a Man City player has never won the PFA player of the year award. I fact no one has won it outside of Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool other than Mahrez since 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Van Dijk, and before that Salah, the season before Kante, obviously the season before Mahrez, the season before that Hazard, the season before the Suarez. Which one are you debating? It's all opinion, obviously, but Man City fans act as if everybody hates them. Edited 24 July 2020 by Fox92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 24 July 2020 Share Posted 24 July 2020 Vardy doesn't get votes from fans of other clubs because he's not liked. He regularly winds up opposition (WBA, Villa, Palace, Sheff Utd etc.) and was caught up in a racism scandal, very unlikely fans of other clubs will vote for him.

From the sounds of it they've taken a big look at off the pitch activity, so they've looked at the donations and stuff done by Henderson. Think its a poor way to split players given the amount Rashford and Mane have both done. Sterling has also been vocal against racism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man City team of the last few years I believe is the best team ever to play in the premier league so to not of won more individual awards I think shows bias towards certain clubs.

Simarly, I never used to mind Man City but I don't like them at all now. I do agree with your other post about celebrating both the CL and PL in a "year". Given they lost (knocked out) to Atletico this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very easy to say 'none of the smaller teams players get a look in', when the reality is invariably the bigger clubs have the best players in the league!

Yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you, as I said, it's all opinion so wanted to see which one you'd pick! I always thought Yaya should have won it circa 2011(?) when he first joined, his influence was massive and scored lots of important goals for them.

He was class defensively too, was unreal that season. Just comparing him to Lampard, who in 09-10 got 22 goals and 16 assists in 36 games And here's me who will be happy if Maddison gets 7 goals 7 assists in 35 games 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
