I was of the same opinion until about 6 weeks ago, but I've come full circle. He's not just decent at the moment - he's really bloody good.

It's the transformation but also the fact in a season where we have not put the shifts in that you expect the players to put in, sissoko did just that. There were games that was clearly the difference maker hence he had so many man of the matches. If its just sentiment cos of how much he improved but he still not a good player then the other players should be ashamed of themselves for not putting the effort in. But I'm not taking it away from Sissoko on the belief that is just other players playing below. 1) cos it's not fair when he clearly was our best player in so many games 2) we are fcuked if it's cos so many players have played below their ability that Sissoko was made to look good. That's a problem with the manager and the squad, if true.
Oh and I didn't want Sissoko anywhere near our team at the beginning of the season

But Sissoko is not not being judged on goals.
If that's your mindset, might as well rule out all the defenders as well for player of the season.
Son and Sissoko are completely different footballers, providing different roles.

While I agree with your collective assessment of Son, there is one thing that you all did not mention. And that is because of his dominance and work rate, Sissoko made it easier for Son to perform the way he did. Surely that should count for something?

Son is the only real candidate. All the other are pretenders.

Son, as a forward, failed to score a single league goal until late November. He's then scored one in our last eleven games. He's very good at adding goals when we're doing well - but he hasn't been consistent, hasn't dragged the team upwards when they've been struggling, and very nearly cost us 4th with his temper tantrum last week. Still rates as very good because of that insane patch for half the season in the middle and the goals against City, but that form is not enough to be Player of the Year. Sissoko has worked incredible hard, performed well all season, and done so despite some shocking abuse from our so-called "supporters". He 100% deserved the award.

Is there any way to aggregate the voting percentages in each match ratings thread for the season? (without trawling through each one and making an excel lol)
My broadcaster broke away from the feed. Did we get a farewell from Toby to the crowd? I have this nagging feeling he'll leave on a free next year or sin a deal at some stage.. It's my hope that he does.
