Graeme Souness, Alan Hansen, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba never won it at all!

That’s an award worth mentioning; quite the list!

I'd argue that Virgil and Inou have been the best individual performers, but goal involvements get more attention and focus of acclaim.

Before his injury you could definitely make the argument that Konate was POTY.
But virg form has dropped since along with the rest of our D

Mo's performances have been a bot up and down, though more up than down. However, his output is outrageous.

He can have a quiet game but still deliver a big moment when we need him. Or like yesterday, be wasteful by his standards and still get a goal and assist.
He is incredible.

I sometimes wonder if there is a special magical standard that Mo Salah, and no other player in the history of the game, gets judged against

I heard English pundits saying he was "a bit quiet" in the Leicester game. He carried incredible threat all game, had brilliant underlying numbers, and delivered the win with goals and assists!

His performances haven't been "up and down". He's on track for the greatest season in the history of the English game.

That isn't in any way a knock on Mo or Palmer, both have been brilliant, more an observation on how simplistic "player of the year" awards seem to have become. Skewed by trophies and goals.
