A rosy moment for some players culminated in a bad day in the office for Tottenham Hotspur forward, Son Heung-min. Proceeding the release of the nominees for the PFA Premier League player of the year award, the forward was left out as the composition had six players namely Mohamed Salah, Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, Cristiano Ronaldo, Vigil Van Dijk, and Sadio Mane are all making headlines. It is however incongruent to say that the 29-year-old who ended the season as the highest goal scorer alongside Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah wasn’t nominated.

Manchester City had a spectacular season winning the 2021/2022 Premier League trophy with 93 points while Liverpool trailed behind with 92 points regardless, only Kevin De Bruyne was nominated while the Reds got three nominations with Mane, Salah, and Van Dijk having a chance to covet the prestigious award.

It is therefore paramount to note that the PFA Player of the Year award is given based on the individual performance of players than the collective achievement of a team.

After a fantastic 2021/2022 season with Spurs, Son shared the golden boot award with Mohamed Salah courtesy of the 23 goals he banged with a double-figure on the final day of the Premier League season. On that note, the need to file up a case for the South Korean forward becomes necessary.

You can only make case for his nomination but not him winning it, the winner of the PFA was well deserved without sentiment....
PFA is not only about scoring goals alone, what impact did your contributions make for your team at the end of the season is what truly matters.

since its an individual award, I think he is supposed to make d cut even if he wont win it..
we know its between sallah n KDB bt including cr7 in that list n removing son dt match sallah goals without penalties makes no sense..

Did you see where I said he can only make case for Son's nomination which was not done and also the winner KDB I know you cannot argue his being named the winner

Baba change this your Ronaldo hating mentality abeg, it's annoying.

You're asking for the impact of Ronaldo's goals Go and check how he scored match winning hat tricks twice with the match ending 3-2. Would they have gotten those 3 points if he didn't score?

You're not the most devoted Messi fan in the world abeg.

Both Ronaldo and DDG did great this season and were by far man u's best players.

De gea his job perfectly by making crucial saves, and ronaldo also did his by scoring crucial goals too. Or Ronaldo should also make saves too to measure up to De gea

Messi can do no wrong in your eyes but when it comes to ronaldo, then he can't do anything right. Later you will attack nairaland mods for being biased. If you were a mod, you'll do worse.

Most Messi and ronaldo fans are just hypocrites.

Ronaldo made more impact in man u baba. Without Ronaldo's goals and DDG crucial saves, man u won't be playing European football this season.

If you swap Ronaldo and Messi stats this season, you'll still see their fans coming to argue about how their preffered is better than the other. These people don turn robots that can't think logically again.

Nothing wrong in being a Messi fan cos everyone except sentimental people knows that when it comes to footballing talents alone, Messi is the best currently.

Why did does players not score in those matches when rinaldo isn't in the team or when he is not scoring

simply bcoz of cr7 dependency already created....bruno led dis same united d previous season n was on hot form n high spirit, bt this last season, he is just a supporting cast even when cr7 isnt playing..
no mater how good bruno perfoms without cr7, attention would still be shifted to his big Broda in d next game..
same happened with barca n messi...a team playing without its best man due to injury or fatigue is different from playing without dt same big name wen he is gone....dts called moving on n rebuliding..
DTS why I keep saying I want to see the miracle d new coach would perform if he still.plays cr7

Then this is the fault of those players that has failed to be independent. Look at PSG, why are they not depending on any body with the amount of star players they have?

The best thing from the coach is to get all other players to step up and complement one another not been over dependent. If he's very good as they say he is, he'll know those to be benched like Maguire.
