I'll say kane or kante
Dias and stones were horribly exposed in the CL final. All Dias other performances have been exemplary throughout the entire season.
Kane deserves it if we are being real
Dias should be the one 💙💙
Dias should get van djk didn’t win the premier league and got it
Kante is the player of the year.
Mason Mount
And there was @AngryRatman claiming that pundits underestimate Mason and overhype Foden and Grealish! Idiot!
Harry Kane 😐
"…wonder why he selected that team…"
An avoidable bad taste that will be difficult to remove for a while.
Well this is a no brainer for me certainly ruben dias to quote a phrase used about van dijk dias is a rolls Royce of a defender and has been that good he has made john stones look like a quality defender to be fair but anyone next to him would do let's not forget this used to be a weakness for man city not anymore tho laporte cant even get into the starting eleven gundogan would come second tho in my opinion and Fernandes In third just my opinion anyway? 😎😎
I know dias did excellent defending but we hav to consider his team city dominates most of the matches there ntg much to defend like other teams but kane won golden boot n play maker too . He should be the one
Dias and Kane are the only two who could really win
Though dias will win
Kane easy and ima Chelsea fan
Kante
RUBEN DIAS THE ONLY PLAYER
It really doesn't matter if he was the best player in Pep's squad. Give him Man City player of the season then. What matters is that the best player in the league was Harry Kane.
Why not Harry Kane though!?
ohh please, how can the person who wins top goal scorer and playmaker of the season not win the award, nowadays do stats mean anything. Dias really changes City and has played very well but Kane has to get the award
Kane got most goals and assists in a team that didn't do overly well. Anyone else would be a joke. Not a Spurs fan.
Harry Kane is the clear favourite
Dias is not the best individual player… the best player is harry kane.. most goals and most assist in the same season
Bruno should get it. No cap . Man has been outstanding.
Gündogan should be there. His ridiculous goalscoring form December to February is the reason why City pulled further away from rest during most intense period of the season.
Some clown will ask " Where's Kante in the list?"
it is really strange that Moe Salah has not been shotlisted in the last 3 years (one of them was top goal scorer and twice missed by a goal) …
Dias is not the clear choice, it is very close between Dias and Kane. I would go Dias had more impact and we had a lot of 1-0 wins and that was down to dais’s important defensive performance, but there’s also a big chance kane. Most assist as a striker and Most goals in a dead team. So it’s definitely close
I dont understand why these people always try to make this into a team award. It is an individual award, and on an individual level there has been nobody better than Harry Kane this season. Yes Dias has been a good player this season, but to say man city won the league purely because of him is beyond ridiculous. Man City won the league because their entire team is miles ahead of anyone else's
This aged well.I have rarely seen pundits do correct predictions.
Diaz clear choice no way Kane just had a better season in my opinion all things considered but deserved he’s an amazing player and did have a seriously impressive season.
Van the Man comes back next season for his silverwares
Why Harry Kane should be the EPL player of the season: He got both of the prizes. People didn't think of Harry Kane
because his team didn't go to the Champions league
Last season man city wins prem and league cup without dias this season they win prem & league cup and lose ucl final what a impact he's had
He is the best defender in the world 👏👏
