LUIS SUAREZ!

 

Previous winners were:

 

2005 Jamie Carragher

2006 Steven Gerrard

2007 Dirk Kuyt

2008 Javier Mascherano

2009 Xabi Alonso

2010 Javier Mascherano

2011 Steven Gerrard

2012 Luis Suarez

2013 Luis Suarez

 

.

Our Uruguayan forward has now won it three times in a row. If he stays at LFC, I am sure he will be the man to beat again next year.

 

Discussion points:

 

1. Suarez is world class. He is also an enigma and a monster. He plays with passion and ALWAYS gives 100% effort. In my opinion, he could be perhaps the greatest ever Liverpool player if we can keep him and progress as a club. The decision to sell him could be a defining moment one way or another for us, hope we don't.

 

2. Sterling only finished 8 points behind him and actually won more MOM awards. He is going to be a fabulous player (hopefully) if the praise doesn't go to his head. It will be interesting to see how he performs for England this summer against World class players.

 

3. Skrtel was our best performing defender. He scored lots of goals this year...not all in the opposition net of course. I think defenders is what Brendan will be buying as a priority this summer.

 

4. The Captain started slowly again (same as last year) but came into his own as the season progressed. Jordan is his natural successor and will be more important to us as the seasons come.

 

5. Sturridge had a great season (scored over 20 goals!) but his great year isn't reflected in this table. Goes to show what a great team we had this season.

 

6. Mignolet had a great start (penalty save in his first game) but there is a question mark over him. Another season for sure, but I hope we buy a good back-up keeper to keep him focused.

 

7.Coutinho and Allen have both been outstanding at times throughout the season, but they need to build consistency into their games.

 

8. We all love Flanagan, but he finished a disappointing 16th in this table. He will need to improve and live up to the hype. As a defender, his performances will always need to be immaculate to gain big points in this league.

 

Over to you...what are your thoughts? As ever, this table has been your doing. No point in being critical of players positions as it was you who didn't vote for them or spoiled their ballot paper by quoting the ref or players from other sides.

 

It just leaves me to say, thanks for taking part and hopefully we will go one better next season and win the bloody thing.

 

Please raise your beer cans, and praise our 2014 player of the season....

 

KING LUIS SUAREZ!!!

Funny post that.

 

"Thanks for all your efforts for the last 8 months Morse - but I can't be arsed to even click on another thread so can you just fetch the final table for me please? There's a good lad"

[Conrad]

11 man of the match awards for Sterling. That's amazing, shows what an impact he's had and how much he can influence a match on a consistent basis already

[RP]

Interesting this - looking back at the whole season, how many would vote for Sterling as our 2nd best player of the year?

 

And Skrtel 3rd?

 

I'd imagine our top three would be Suarez, Sturridge and Gerrard (in whatever order) but maybe Sterling would get into the top three for some?

[Swan Red]

Morse if you can do one thing you should weight the games, 532 for a draw 753 for a win and 321 for a loss. As it stands a MOM counts equally irrespective of whether we won the game and often poorer players will get the nominations when everyones been s***.

[Morse]

Surely that's the point though Swanny?

We want every game to be important and those players that play consistently well will be rewarded in those games

(not just the ones who can be arsed in the games we win).

[Swan Red]

I think they're still important if we weight them but the standard required to be MOM is lower in games we don't win. I don't think the least bad player in games we're awful in should count the same as being the best player in a game we win. Can we really score whoever got MOM in the 3:1 defeat at Hull equal to Suarez against Norwich. It's a team game and individual performances should be evaluated as contributions to the teams result.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Nice one Morse.

 

Harsh on Flanno since he only played about 22 games, so 16th isn't unexpected

[Conrad]

Conversely, Toure is rather flattered by his position.

 

Perhaps Morse should introduce minus marks for c**k-ups!

I would go

1 Suarez

2 Gerrard

3 Sterling

4 Sturridge

5 Henderson

[Earl Hafler]

Henderson would be one of my first three names on the team sheet

[RP]

Henderson would be one of my first three names on the team sheet

 

 

Similarly Mignolet would be one of the first - but that's not really the question is it?

 

Fair shout for Henderson being in the top 3 players of the season though.
