patrickmuf: My EPL team of the season... Goalkeeper: Alisson Signed from Roma in the wake of Karius disastrous showing the UCL final last season, Alisson has proven to be a safe pair of hands bar some school boy errors he committed earlier in the season which can be heaped on overconfidence. He has proven to be the difference when it mattered most especially his contribution against Barcelona in the comeback win.
Right back: Trent Alexander Arnold Three words describes this young English man, Young, Dependable and Exciting...Just over a year ago, Walker and Trippier were the best in the league and TAA didn't really get a look in perhaps for his inexperience but a year on and he has proven to be a very good outlet for Liverpool down the right, his stand out performance was against Barcelona where he chipped in with 2 assist, one being the assist for the winning goal...He looks like one for the future but his performances tells me the future is now. As a Manchester United fan, I'll trade Young, Smalling, Jones, Bailly and Rojo to get him.
Right Center back: Toby Alderweireld Toby is the perfect example of the guy who does the job away from the camera, he has been rock solid everytime I have seen him play, a very consistent CB who covers a lot for Trippier when he goes rampaging forward, not a popular choice but for me, he is right up there with the Van Dijk's, Pique's and Chiellini's of the world...
Left Center back: Virgil Van Dijk PFA player of the year, Van Dijk has been nothing short of immense since joining Liverpool, he has brought leadership and stability where none existed prior to his arrival. If Liverpool goes on the win the UCL or league, he'd be on the Balon D'or podium unless of course, UEFA happens...Currently, he is the best CB in the world and if you think otherwise, then you must be a visitor here and should probably be sent back to Mars before the done of dusk...
Left Back: Robertson No other player represents the ghen ghen footballing philosophy of the master himself, Jurgen Klopp than Robertson...He never stops running, in one second, he is delivering an exquisite ball to the head of Mane and in the next couple of Seconds, he is in with a last ditch sliding tackle to prevent an obvious goal scoring chance, he reminds me of Alba a couple of years ago...He is everything I wish Luke Shaw is and to imagine Luke Shaw won the Manchester United player of the season, how the great ls have fallen...
Defensive Midfielder: Fernandinho Mr. Reliable, that he is the most important player in an otherwise star studded City teams tells you everything you need to know, a player who's never afraid to stick a foot in, he shields the City back so well that in his absence, Manchester City look a totally different team...
Center midfielder: Christian Erikson If there's one player that almost always picks the right pass, that player has got to be Erikson (De Bruyne is another but he's had an injury ravaged season)...The exact opposite of Pogba who labors on the balls, prioritize fancy flicks and tricks over simple passes, Erikson is every coaches dream, here, he just about edges David Silva who has also had a stellar campaign...If my formation supported a 3 man midfield then Silva would've been the 3rd man.
Right winger: Raheem Sterling A year on from whence an Arsenal fan on Twitter said he had more Children than goals, Sterling has raised the bar, he has had a fantastic season and were it not for the form of VVD, he'd have easily won the PFA player of the year as against the PFA young player of the year he was compensated with, you can't argue with the fact that he now has more goals than Children and it looks certain to stay that way going forward... On a personal note, I think if City wins the league and FA cup added with the Caraboa cup which is already in their kitty, he stands a better chance of making the Balon D'or podium especially as Ronaldo only has the Serie A title to show for his efforts, Neymar/Mbappe, the French Ligue 1 and Suarez has LA Liga and possibly Copa Del Rey. Were it not for VAR, it'd have been a possible clean sweep for him, most improved player in the world...
Right Center Forward: Mo Salah The great Egyptian is up to it again, he has once again proven beyond measure that he is no one season wonder...He went through a rough patch that had his doubters pick up the mic in a rush to say "I told you so" but it didn't weigh him down instead, like the Phoenix, he rose up in grand style tearing past defenses and scoring goals for fun and from every distance, Chelsea fans and Kepa will not forget the ballistic missile of a shot scored during their encounter at Anfield...If you must hold a conversation about elite players, never forget the name of a certain Egyptian, King Mohammed Salah.
Left Center Forward: Sergio Kun Aguero The Argentine bulldozer has proven time after time what a deadly finisher he is, your typical fox in the box, Aguero is a handful to deal with...He has contributed his quota to City's course in no small measure with his 20 premier goal second only to Salah. Best striker in the league and world.
Left winger: Mane The Mane called Sadio is the definition of stamina. This season has seen him add goals to his game which was the only lacking ingredient last season. He is a pack of energy, pace and power, his role in the destruction of the Bavarians at the Allianz Arena will not be forgotten anytime soon. When I watch him play, I see determination, a trait that's clearly lacking in Martial and all the other money mongers at United...He is a firm believer of Klopp philosophy, ghen ghen pressing...
Coach: Master Jurgen Klopp I've not got much to say about the gaffer, 2 Consecutive UCL final is a testament to his methods...The slayer of tiki taka, the master of ghen ghen pressing, Klopp is the best coach in the world, better than Pep, Sarri, Emery, Valverde, Allegri and Kovac put together...
GloryIsaac: The problem here is that you group everyone together, I don't engage in Sanchez vs Hazard arguments or Martial vs Hazard or any other person... But, if you fit make mouth like this because of Hazard, why do you want him out?
I just pity una sha.. let's see if it's Pedro and William that will save you guys
Which pedro and Willian? God no gree o! Cho and co. Instead abeg....make sarri build him team without over depending on any player.
Or are you part of those who insulted him? Your conscience is disturbing you badly
Btw, I supported my Player of the Season and the manager all through... Only that yahoo man who has scattered the club's wage structure annoys me
My conscience is not disturbing me anything. I am sure I insulted him when he played badly and probably praised him when he did well. I am one of the persons who want him to leave the club too...so no lele.
Same yahoo Yahoo man...that you guys claimed was better than hazard,abi? You see ehn,you scummites never learn from your past. When you consider the number of players you have compared to him and how poorly they have performed afterwards, you will stop comparing your players to hazard. Him no be una players mate at all.
GloryIsaac: So Harzard won Club Player of the Season again
And some Shesee fans insulted him through the season
Shut up!!!
I am sure we can find scummies insulting your player of the season along with your entire squad plus your manager. Why the noise? You blaaady scummite from 6th Avenue

Courtois first season at Chelsea was the next best thing after slice bread.. Courtois was a beast. Remember he sent us packing from the UCL with Atletico in 13/14.
Courtois wey chase a whole Cech away... People sabi forget oo. If person dig right self you would see some people here agreeing to Courtois chasing Cech...
Courtois might be a snake or not but he is the best keeper I've seen in a Chelsea shirt after Cech.
Cvntois is as useless as kepa! Which better keeper after Cech? Stoppeeeet!
Kepa is a good keeper. He knows how to read attackers if you watched most of his saves. I have said it several times, his major problem is reflex. The reflex is what de gea has or had going for him.
He doesn't move on time for major goal threat like long distance shot that he could have seen coming and counts one or two steps to save.
If he works on the reflex, he has the potential to conquer europe.
But this is the first season sha, that's why it is still harsh to judge him badly, even with the useless defense we have, when we know some keepers that had worse.
We will see what he brings to the table in his second season now that he has tasted how nasty epl can be.
So cvntois didn't have potential when Chelsea bought him? He didn't have potential when Atletico loaned him and wanted to buy him? He didn't have potential moanrimhoe brought him back and made him number 1 over a legend like Cech who still had few years in him to give us good performance? He didn't have potential and you didn't see it when he first joined us and was benching Cech? Where didn't have potential Madrid bought him and made him number 1? Where you here at all when I started calling cvntois out from his first season with us?
Truth is, I dont give a fvck about cvntois.
@ bolded
That is one of the many reasons why I dont rate kepa.
