Stats 7,142 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 5 hours ago, communicate said: There has to be minute or app restrictions for young player of the year. It make 0 sense to give it to trent. Like Jason said, I don't think there should be an appearance restriction. That is basically saying to a player, you aren't being rewarded because you have featured more than this and that player. There maybe needs to be an age restriction and as Jason suggested an award for 'best newcomer' or 'breakout star'. For instance I think it is unfair to give young player of year to a player who is 24. Maybe cut it at 21/22 at most. I think TAA is deserving of that. 21 is still very young and he is playing with players who are far more experienced, so then that gives him outside chance for winning main award.

NikkiCFC 8,318 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 TAA is 21, not sure why people have problem with him being best young player. Speaking of Liverpool Klopp does not care about future it seems. He wants results while he is there. Salah, Firmino, Mane, Henderson, VVD, Vijnaldum all 28+ yo. And Alcantara is also 29.

Vesper 30,169 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 12 hours ago, Jason said: That U23/U24 rule for a "Young" Player of the Year award is BS, TBH. It should be U21 at most. Placing restriction on appearances and/or minutes makes no sense because what if that player plays beyond those numbers set? Then what? Asking them to then compete with the more established players for the Player of the Year award is unfair either. In TAA's case, it just so happens that he was promoted at a very young age and has more experience at the senior level than most. Those players you mentioned above - Greenwood, Saka, Mount etc - are the newcomers this season (although Saka did make a PL appearance in 2018/19). Maybe we should have a different award for it. even taking it up to currently under 25 years of age TAA was the best player I have no complaint with thsi at all I do think that to qualfy you cannot have turned 23yo or older during the season 22yo is a bright line cutoff in fact I would have no issue if you made it such that you cannot have turned 22yo during the season so only players 21yo or younger during the whole time but that would be a bit harsh on a player who hit 22 only during the last 3 or 5 games 23yo is my dead last year I will call an outfield player a very young player (GK, sure that is very young, even at 25ish) if you are not up and running by 24/25, then the odds are VERY high you are not going to become a great player sure there are exceptions, but they are so rare (less than 10%, probably less than 5% of player who were meh until after they hit 25, other than, as stated, GKers) unfortunately those rare exceptions cloud people's vision, so they hold onto hope that a 28yo is going to explode out of the blue, association football is not yank footie with QB's or baseball with pitchers, who often DO explode out of the blue near or older than 30 years of age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise about Klopp He said he's not going to stick around with Liverpool for too long. He's will want to dominate as much as possible when he's there,..won't be interested in building a new team that he won't manage.
