PFA awards

Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge short listed for PFA player of the year awards.

Quite rightly as well. Also Sterling and Sturridge up for young player of the year. Did it slip anyone else's mind that Danny was eligible for young player? Most seem to be convinced Hazard would get it but I'd say Danny deserves it more. No need to even discuss who will get the main award.

I just hope having more than one in the running doesn't split the vote.

No offence meant, but Sturridge shouldn't be up for young player.
Neither should Hazard. It should be an U21 category.

As such it should be Sterling's.

Who would you be offending  ?
Yeah I agree, 23/24 is not exactly young in footballing terms.

Suarez for me,not because of all his goals but his all round play, the assists,tracking back, the passion and determination,

He has completely turned the media in their attitude to him(well most have) and that's no mean feat,

His own attitude has went full circle also which in all honesty I didn't think he would and would have gone elsewhere,

So, fair play to him, I believe he is settled now and he can enjoy many trophy laden yrs with us,

Nice one Luis

Sturridge.
He's had a fantastic season, as has Hazard,
but there is no way they should be up for young player.

At a guess it'll probably be:

Player - Suarez
"Young" Player - Hazard
Manager - Rodgers

No Hendo, which is a bit of a suprise

Not really. He may have been very important for us but his stats in terms of producing goals doesn't stack up against any of those on the list.

Terrific to see three LFC players on the main award shortlist and two on the young player list. Have we ever seen those kinda numbers before?

Don't forget the Ladies game as well we have 3 nominee's there also, how often does that happen !

Almost half of those nominations are our lads, great to see.

Four English players up for young player as well, certainly has been a breakthrough season for a lot of English talent.

Anyone else get a feeling Gerrard might get it?

Fantastic to see so many of our lads up for awards. Very much deserved.

Top prize probably goes to Suarez for his sheer brilliance this season, though I think Gerrard might be a dark horse in that race seeing as he's willing us over the finish line. Don't discount romanticism in voting. That said, you really can't go wrong with either choice, and Sturridge should definitely be considered as well.

Agree that the young prize should u21, which would be a tossup between Sterling and Shaw in that case. My guess is Hazard will get it though, which seems unfair to Sturridge to not get an honor this season. He's been awesome this year too.

Luis should be a shoe  in but there are some spiteful people in the football world.

Anyone else get a feeling Gerrard might get it?

No.

If Suarez wasn't isn't there yes but Luis is winning it all day, every day.

Sturridge will win the young player of the year.

Also special mention to the Liverpool ladies. Three of them also up for Player of the Year awards.

Indeed crouchie. Players getting recognised in the men and women's teams, firing on all fronts at all levels - it's a wonderful feeling to be a Liverpool fan at the moment.

Anyone else get a feeling Gerrard might get it?

Hope so

I had him at 28-1 10 weeks ago

No.

If Suarez wasn't isn't there yes but Luis is winning it all day, every day.

I'm not so sure it's as clear cut as that Crouchie.

suarez should get it with stevie a distant 2nd in votes.  however, luis has 4 games left to keep his cool.  In that city game, there were definitely flashes of an ugly suarez,  luckily it didn't fully make an appearance but it was there. 

this award is luis' to lose. 

for the young player, unless hazard does something stupid or sterling scores the PL winning goal for us, it would most probably go to hazard.  as awesome as sterling has been for us, hazard is just as critical if not even more for Chelsea's fortunes. 

Also special mention to the Liverpool ladies. Three of them also up for Player of the Year awards.

This. Great accomplishment for both squads!

Not really. He may have been very important for us but his stats in terms of producing goals doesn't stack up against any of those on the list.

Perhaps not - but the qualities that make him so important to us also make it easier for others to create.

On that basis I think it is a shock - particularly in young player category (noting and agreeing with other comments that current definition flawed).

Aren't the votes already in though?

This is just the PFA publishing the names put forward I believe.

Think the voting was a tad too early for Stevie to have a chance, think it's the reason why Ramsey got in ahead of Hendo too.

The votes are in scotia but at the moment all we know is that Manchester United and their players have.... nil pois!

Shocked Cleverley didn't make it.....he gets everywhere without merit

If intangibles go into it at all (and let's be honest, Suarez probably should have won last year if it weren't for "intangibles" of his behavior) I would almost try and make an argument for Stevie winning it. What a year that would be if he could win it and win the title.

Although by stats alone, Suarez should be a runaway.

Hazard has no right to be mentioned in the young player category and not because he's not young but because he hasn't been near the player that Sturridge or Sterling has been.

LFC should have a sweep of these awards this year, it's obvious now that we are the best team with the best players and manager.

No Hendo, which is a bit of a suprise

I think it's a shocking decision to leave him out of PFA shortlist, I think he has been one of the most consistent box - box midfielders in the league and has been playing amazing throughout this season. I would only swap him for Lallana in the list. Lallana has been great, but compare him to Henderson and Henderson hands down has been the superior player.

As for PFA young player, again, no Henderson? I personally think he has been the 2nd best young player in the league behind Hazard, although, I think it's ridiculous that the age category for young player is under 23, they really need to drop it to 21.

There's only one man that really deserves the player of the year award and that is obviously Suarez. Stevie has been great for most of the season but there's only one player with a highlights reel as ridiculous as Suarez's. I actually feel the need to occasionally go and watch a video of his goals, skills and assists this season just to remind myself of some of the awesome sh*t he's done.

On his stats alone he probably wins it.

Michael Owen was saying on MOTD a few weeks ago that votes get made around February which seems ridiculous.

For  me personally   Suarez  has been the best  for last season and this season

At a guess it'll probably be:

Player - Suarez
"Young" Player - Hazard
Manager - Rodgers

I reckon so as well. As Sturridge is considered young enough then he should win it but I think people will shy away from voting for 3 from LFC so will throw Hazard in instead.

If Hazard wins it then he will deserve it and the same goes for Sturridge. It won't be because people have shied away from voting for 3 members of the Liverpool team. His numbers speak for themselves, he has 14 goals and 7 assists. Yes, Sturridge has more goals but he is a striker. I have no doubt that Hazard's stats would be more impressive had he been playing alongside somebody like Sturridge or Suarez all season, instead he got stuck with Cinderella.

At a guess it'll probably be:

Player - Suarez
"Young" Player - Hazard
Manager - Rodgers

All day long.

What an honour for the club.

Three of the six.



For me ? : Luis.

Being utterly biased and having had till mid April to decide (unlike the voters) I would go with:
Player: Suarez (Gerrard a very close 2nd but I am sure he wouldn't mind)
Young player: sterling (hazard 2nd as he isn't what I consider a 'young' player.

Surely if logic is applied, Sturridge being nominated for both awards should mean he is favourite for the young player of the year.

Hazard is also up for both awards. I do think Sturridge should win it though.

I really don't understand how they are considered young.... Should be Sterlings in my opinion.

Shouldn't it be a 21 and under category?

the cynic in me thinks they have 3 Liverpool players to dilute the vote so Hazard can win it.Just saying

On that basis I think it is a shock - particularly in young player category (noting and agreeing with other comments that current definition flawed).

They're ALL young players to me.

Given the BS that usually comes out of Gordon Taylor's mouth every time he is mentioned I think Suarez would be justified in telling the PFA where they can stick their award.

Now that would be legendary !  And warranted.

Gordon Taylor's a blithering idiot.

It's got to be Suarez, all day long he is by far the clear winner!

 
Patrice Evra has voted for old foe Luis Suarez to win the PFA Player of the Year.

The Manchester United defender accused Suarez of racially abusing him three years ago, with the Uruguayan found guilty and banned for eight games.

Suarez has never apologised for the incident, but that hasn't deterred Evra from casting his vote for the Liverpool striker

I call BS. No quote or No evidence, just pure speculation posted as so called fact. Don't believe it until I see it.
On topic, it would be criminal if Luis doesn't win the award.
