Cicero 5,265 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yes. Your eyes aren't fooling you. Grealish and Martial, who both turn 25 this year, are nominated for 'Young Player of the season'. Has to be KDB and TAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,772 Posted August 7, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2020 Agreed. I'd go with De Bruyne for Player, and Trent for Young Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Obviously TAA has to win YPOTY, as he is a nomination for BOTH awards, and I'm with you, KDB to win the POTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMike 3,009 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 As already said, Trent should win the young player by a mile. Between De Bruyne and Mane for player of the year for me. I think De Bruyne will probably win it but for me Mane's contributions in big moments and big games would edge him over De Bruyne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,607 Posted August 7, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2020 Shame that goalkeepers don't get some kind of singular recognition because Dean Henderson has been superb this year. But yeah I think KDB and TAA will clinch the two spots. If you wan't to see a stat site that compares KDB to Mane with infographics the link is below. https://one-versus-one.com/en/compare-players/Kevin-de-Bruyne-vs-Sadio-Mane While Mane does score more he's nowhere close in assists nor is he close in key passes either. Makes you wonder what would have been had City been able to keep KDB fit all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,824 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 De Bruyne and Trent, easy. We are literally all saying the same it's that clear cut. Honourable mention to Mane and he has had a great season, I'd just say he was unlucky that KDB for me individually has been better. I also think what goes against Mane is that as a team Liverpool were brilliant all round from Trent to Van Dijk, from Henderson to Salah and Mane. It was all about as a team with them than one man dragging them through. Where as at City, you never had that. Fits and starts from some but no one you could say shouldered the burden all the way through bar one man, Kevin De Bruyne. 13 Goals, 20 Assists are some impressive stats for a man playing in his position and without a shadow of a doubt, he has consistently been Man City's most reliable player this season in what was such an up and down year. Without him, you'd have to wonder truly where they could have been. Maybe 3rd or 4th. 100% deserves it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 1,310 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Dean Henderson is 23. Martial and Grealish are 24. They definitely need to lower the age of the YPOTY category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, Trent deserves the young player award, while the player of the season has to be between De Bruyne and Mane. That is a really hard call, because they were both world class, yet they are both very different players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be 21 and under and to be honest, I wouldn't be against it being even lower than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie 3,252 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Young player should be for 22 and under, and you should only be able to win it once. Once you've "broken out" no more YPOTY for u. Kevin 07 and TAA or Mount for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
