The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Remember that Ivanovic is just following orders. His role was almost the complete opposite last season. Ivanovic playing the Alves role is like David Villa playing the Drogba role, it makes no sense. I really hope it won't be the same next season.And I remember how last season it was the opposition only having to worry about one player. Now it's two and need to upgrade to three. Progress I guess. Though I have to say, Cesc's been getting good amount of space for the most part in this 2nd half of the season. He's not being tightly marked on a weekly basis, far from it I'd say. I don't know what's wrong with him. It's not like he's terrible but simply not as good as first.I know it's Jose's fault, he gives Ivanovic this sort of freedom to attack but I will never know why exactly. I mean, I know Bane is a match winner but his offensive contribution isn't Alves or Maicon like for him to have this sort of freedom. I truly hope Jose sees past it next season as well. I agree with you that Cesc hasn't really found his early season rhythm as well though. He's getting back to it slowly but a bit too slowly for my liking. I think it has to do with the fact that we seem to be a lot more conservative in the way we play these days - I don't really blame Jose, a few players have lost his trust I assume so naturally he has lost that total faith he had in the team before. However he's not entirely blameless. You have great guys like Filipe Luis or Zouma constantly on the bench who would definitely make a big impact on how we play, but Jose is still very reluctant.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Coutinho? you make me laugh. His stats is not that good, and you gotta be kidding me with how horrible Liverpool this season.Part of me now don't bothered if Hazard missed this out. The PL title is the real award.

Spike 12,049 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I still think YPOTY should go to under 21 players in their first season. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boshman 1,073 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Ok, but i still dont get something, those "PFA Members" made this shortlist of six players and than they vote AGAIN for the best player from that shorlist? or the shotlist was made by the FA?And "PFA Members" - who are they? Terry is the one in Chelsea, so its captains?I think I am correct in saying. Ballot papers are sent out to all clubs (ballot paper is as JT put up on social media). I think every player in the 20 PL clubs squads votes for his player, young player and team of the year (again, ala JT). When all votes are counted the 'shortlist' is drawn up. I think this is just the 6 players with most votes. I don't believe anything is votes for again. So in a sense the winner has already been voted for. We just have to wait till the day to find out who it is. nadavTKL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hazard's srats aren't eye popping either.Even our 'worst no. 10' have a much better stats than him. Why I've got the impression that Coutinho make it to the list because JT revealed that he choose him as poty. I blame JT. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 How is logical that someone wins player of the year award and is still young enough, but doesnt win young player of the year? I understand people might decide personaly, but if Hazard wins player of year, while Kane young poty, that literaly means that Kane is better u23 player than Hazard which means zero sense. Zero. Only reasonable way would be that Hazard wins both. You cant be best in country if you arent also best young if you are still under 23.If someone put logical explanation, I will be glad. But dont try the sentimental "Kane was voted because he is english and deserves it etc". If Hazard gets poty, he rightly so fits as best in all age categories, including u23, because he is still 23.

Popular Post! Henrique 9,133 Posted April 18, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted April 18, 2015 Football is a 11 players game, but sometimes one player makes the whole difference. Think about Liverpool with and without Suárez. From almost winning PL after decades to not even reaching the top 4.Hazard is the reason we will win this season. He is the real special one.
