Aguero scored 23 league goals and 30 over all. He also scored the title winning goal. Isn’t one of the problems that the vote takes place around February? So any late season heroics aren’t taken into consideration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Zepplin Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Man City have the best squad in the world, possibly the best squad of all time, the title is theirs and they should do the treble. They will never have a better chance of winning the champions league than this season as well. Barca and Madrid are ordinary at the minute and Liverpool are having a shocking season. The only team who could cause an upset would be Bayern. For any team to do the treble it would be a fantastic achievement but if city do it and miss out on the champions league it’s got to go down as a bad season for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it more a case of the age criteria is so silly that many footballers won't vote for a 24 year old even if they have had the best season of those shortlisted?

He simply isn't a kick and rush type player and slows their whole game down. Davies was meant to be the squad yesterday - possibly playing - but as every Liverpool CB does now, got injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen anything myself but it can't have been a fun time for him on or off the pitch. It would burn out a lot of people to be in the eye of that storm.

Hugh Jass Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 At the start of the season had someone told me at the halfway point we’d have taken points off City, Liverpool, United, Chelsea and beaten Wolves I’d have snapped your hand off... What I didn’t expect was for that to be over 50% of our total for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I may have been premature when I felt after last weekend the relegation battle was ending, and as a Newcastle supporter, I'm not fond of how it's opening up, given Fulham suddenly have a more favourite fixture list and scope to close in on us.

Callum Wilson is a massive loss. Just had a look at your fixtures. After United at the weekend, the following 7 are not too bad. Fulham have Liverpool and City in that period. I think you will just have enough to stay up. Edited February 16, 2021 by eastynh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
