The fact that we have a player that would rightly be mentioned in player of the year ( and team of the year ) terms is ;puzzled ;bowdown ;clap ;nonono When he doubles his goals and assists (and hopefully more ) he'll be a serious contender ;biggrin So far if I had to pick a non Payet player ( on same premise of doing similar to first half of the season ) it'd have to be Mahrez
On that theme.... My first half season team of the year is:
Butland
Johnson Alderweireld Smalling van Aanholt
Mahrez Payet Ozil
Vardy Lukaku Ighalo
Had to have three up front because none of them deserved to be dropped out. So no defensive MF at all ( Kante would've been hard to ignore ). Tempted to put in Kolarov as he has more clean sheets but van Aarholts goals and assists saw me pick him. Hard choice between Butland and Cech too
Butland Johnson - Alderweireld - Morgan - Monreal Payet - Kante - Alli - Mahrez Vardy - Ighalo
Interestingly enough, there are a lot more Englishmen in this team than one might expect, especially when considering subs that could include Smalling, Kane, Milner, Redmond, dare I say Cress?
While Mahrez has had a fantastic season, it still remains that his 2 missed penalties probably cost LCFC another 4 points....they would be clear right now and quite frankly be in lala land.....in stead of dreamland where they currently reside
I mustve watched that 20 times straight and I still keep thinking he wont fall over ;lol Nobody looks/makes eye contact after the ball goes in. They're too ashamed to be on the same pitch as Mr Payet ;bowdown

Completely forgot. Was thinking who the other player was I wanted but couldn't remember so put Ozil in.
Swap Alli for Ozil. ;ok
Going by towards standards it would be h If they have £100m to spare then he is theirs
;hmm
;lol
More chance of Reid and Collins signing new deals.
;biggrin
;ok
I think that's Moses that gets put on his backside.
A thing of beauty and how many dummies can you send a keeper?
