PFA Player of the Year award shortlist:
Gareth Bale, Michael Carrick, Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Luis Suárez and Robin van Persie

PFA Young Player of the Year award shortlist:
Gareth Bale, Christian Benteke, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Danny Welbeck, Jack Wilshere

 

Thoughts? Chances of Mata/Hazard/Lukaku picking up awards?

 

I thought it was quite funny to see Welbeck get a nomination with his grand total of 1 goal this season.

I can't see beyond Bale/RVP in terms of the voting.

Welbeck on there? Get f**ked. Nice to see Lukaku there though, and Hazard on both lists.

Nastasic should win young player

 

Mata for actual player, will be RVP/Bale though

^Yeah, Nastasic deserves to at least be on there. Far moreso than Welbeck anyhow.

Not sure Hazard warrants nomination for the senior list yet but can't complain.  Bale or RVP will win it.  Hope Lukaku gets the YPOTY.

Well after seeing plays like this, one can understand the reason why Hazard was picked:

 

 

I think when Hazard is at his best, his brilliance is unmatched by any other player in the EPL, he just needs to be able to do it on a more consistent basis and I agree, doesn't deserve the POTY.

 

Could have a shout at YPOTY but surely Bale is going to win that.

My thoughts too.

 

PS - Love "The Fat One OUT, The Special One IN"!

Eden Hazard has won games single-handedly and is a better footballer than anyone else on that list. That said it's hard to argue that he has done as much for his team this season as Bale has.

Hazard next season could be winning it.  As mentioned, he needs to do what he does consistently like he did in France.  He's settling quickly though.  We never win this stupid thing anyway.  Remember when Rooney won it over Drogba in the season we won the domestic double?  Drogba had 29 goals and 13 assists to Rooney's 26 and 5 and we got nothing.  Even Lampard outperformed him from midfield. 

hazard needs to dribble more, when hes beating players it opens up options for the team. I think sometimes he tries to play like mata, and although hes a good passer, his main assets are his pace and dribbling.

Mata should win, he has been the player of the year. Hasn't picked up an injury all season, scored plenty of goals and has tons of assists to his name.

 

Bale has scored goals but never sets up a goal and has picked up the odd injury that has kept him out of games.

 

Robin Van Persie was great the first half of the season but his second half has been pretty average.

 

Suarez has scored a lot of goals but with his attitude he shouldn't be winning it, plus most of his goals have come against average sides.

 

If Bale doesnt win player of the season then really he should win the young player award.

Shows you how bright our future is when we have 3 players up for the awards and they are 25, 22 and 19. I know im not going to be popular for saying this but based on footballing ability and consistency Suarez should win it for me but i dont think he will i think Bale will win it.

After today I can't see Suarez winning it, will his own peers be voting for a player guilty of racial abuse and biting an opposition player in the same season?

its already been voted hasn't it? so the dirty c**t may still win?

If he does win the award, he'll probably bite its head off and eat it.

Yes i think they have already voted like many im surprised Hazard in the senior award list.I'd love it if Mata wins but it looks unlikely,lets hope Hazard and Lukaku win the young player.

I think they vote to early. What if Mata scored 3 hat tricks in the remaining games ? surely that would warrant him winning the player of the year award.

Team of the year apparently:

 

De Gea; Zabaleta, Ferdinand, Vertonghen, Baines; Mata, Carrick; Hazard, Bale; Suarez, Van Persie.

Is this a joke? It reads like a joke.

that team seems pretty spot on really

De Gea is only in there because he made nowhere near as many mistakes as he did last year, IMO Cech, Begovic and Mignolet all more deserving.

 

Not really sure why Baines is in there, scored some beauties and started the season well, but has been very quiet for months. Then again, can't think of any outstanding LB this year.

 

Rio Ferdinand being in there just takes away the integrity of the entire event.

Wouldn't have Hazard there to be honest, De Gea and Ferdinand are wrong as well.

de gea best keeper in the league
