TalkChelsea Player of the Year 2013/14

Recommended Posts

Shall we do a "Most Improved Player" and "Goal of the Year" award as well?

Perhaps goal of the year would be better done at the end of the season.

I remember last year when people decided to start these awards around this time and them something like the David Luiz screamer against Basel happened.

And that's it! Voting is closed!

CESAR AZPILICUETA IS THE WINNER OF THE TALKCHELSEA.NET PLAYER OF THE SEASON AWARD!

Did you just wait for Azpi to get more votes than Eden to close it? This should've been left open for longer, not a lot of people voted IMO.

The winner will be announced on Thursday 10 April!

:carlo: Odd, could have sworn it said "Friday 11 april". You know since i checked last night and it said Friday 11 april.... :dunno: Did you close the poll one day early ? I don't really care but it's just weird...

Chill guys, it's a vote. Both Azpi and Hazard have been awesome this season, can we just be happy about that?

I think it's a bit outlandish and harsh to accuse Alex of rigging the vote to close it at a certain time. Most of those 98 votes came within the first 2 days or so, and they had slowed up to a trickle in the last few days.

Alex; Would it be possible to do an overall TalkChelsea Best XI for the season? Probably best done at the end of the season though.

Most improved wouldn't be a bad idea either, and as for the goal of the season we'd have to have nominations which could then be posted in video form for voting as I must admit I can hardly remember goals from last week let alone back in September!!!

I didn't get a chance to vote in this but it's not really much of a contest. Hazard has been easily our best player. Azpilicueta has had an excellent year but in a much easier and less important role in many fewer games. Has Azpilicueta been more valuable than Terry or even Cahill this season? Not really. Our back four has been amazing . Players who can make a dynamic difference on offense are exceptionally valuable. You're talking about the difference between a very good defensive left back who offers very little offensively and one of the best players in the world. BTW, Azpilicueta ranked among the regular back four, last in passing percentage, last in duels won percentage, last in all offensive categories, was dribbled by opponents more than any other defender, and was by far the worst of all our defenders in the air. Ashley Cole in 12 starts has created more offensive chances than Aziplicueta has all season. He had a very good year and I can't wait to see how he can evolve his game to add offensive ability when he moves back to right back, but player of the year going to a one-dimensional LB in a defensive system? Over a player who leads us in goals and assists and single-handily won us a whole bunch of games? Not even close.

Hazard has been our player of the season imo. He's been vital for us this season and his form around Nov to Feb was amazing. He's our top scorer and created the most assists. Apzi had been great for us, but i cant look past Hazard.

Azpi has obviously been the player of the season because the reason for our success has been our world class defense. To immediately adapt to an unfamiliar left back position at the highest level with such incredible consistency is quite as awesome as makelele in defensive midfield. Hazard has been good but hasn't been near as consistent as azpi, terry and cahill come close but azpi has given more energy and consistency of high level performance to our world class defense. Azpi not getting the award will infact show bias in my opinion.
