Hazard for his mad tekkers.

Hazard easily. Azpilicueta has done well this season, but I think he's a bit overrated here judging from the nominations and the poll results so far.

Overrated? Our most consistent player all year is overrated?

Azpilicueta, a RB, dislodged a one of the best LBs to ever play the game. He wasn't an automatic starter. However, form or not, Hazard was always picked. Remember earlier in the season when a lot of people were calling for him to be benched? I do...

So I can't possibly see how Azpi can be seen as overrated in any way.

Alright then, overrated was probably not the best word to use as it can easily be taken the wrong way. As I said, he's done very well with consistent displays on the position he usurped from Ashley Cole who until recently was recognized as one of the best left backs in Europe. But then again seeing so many people voting him ahead of Hazard, our top scorer and most creative spark up front is a bit shocking. Yeah, I remember in the beginning of the season he wasn't at his best, but oh boy when he picked up some form, he tore defenses apart and I'd take that over being consistently above average all season.

That being said, I think Eto'o also deserves a mention here for his important goals and the way he asserted himself as very important figure in attack in the last couple of months after his poor start of the season. I don't think it's a coincidence that we struggled in the recent matches after he picked up that injury in the match against Arsenal.

Also on a slightly different note, the partnership of JT and Cahill, which is the main reason of our good defensive record this season has the combined number of 1 vote so far.

That's why I feel Azpi got a little bit more credit than he deserves.

The thing with POTY awards is that most of the times, the performers of the second half of the season get all the praise and everyone forgets how everyone was performing at the start of the season.

Hazard was horrible from August to December. I cant vote for him...

Hazard was horrible from August to December.

And was absolutely unplayable in the months that followed scoring vital goals that gave us the win and kept us in the title race becoming lead goalscorer and lead assister (by some distance) in the process.

For me he had his best game against Sunderland witch was way before december and he was great for the following months from that game.

Without him we most likely would be struggling for 4th place and now we are still in the title race( kinda)

He saved our ass quite alot in the period from november till a month ago , people forget that quite fast it seems.

For me he's the clear winner of this vote, afterall he is our key player this season

[Eligius 121]

You think JT's own goal sway the voters against him?

I could of swore I saw many people wrote JT was poty a few year prior.
