Virgil Van Dijk Wins Your Vote:
In what was a landslide victory in our group vote for Player Of The Season OurVirg towered above the rest.. The man is an absolute beast and hardly missed a game..
When you consider the severity of the injury he suffered last season. Some players simply never come back from them let alone compete the way he has. It was like he had never been away.
This sort of injury I feel takes players a good 2 years to fully recover from so next season we should see an even better version of our number 4.. We are just so pleased for one he got back on the pitch, and for two he just strolled through the season injury free..
The Stats:
With all this in mind lets look at the stats in the Premier League.. There's some impressive reading here..
Appearances - 34
Wins - 25
Losses - 2
Clean Sheets - 21
Goals Conceded - 21
Goals Scored - 3
And to throw a couple more in..
Passes Per Match - 78
Accurate Long Balls - 165
Yellow Cards - 3
Fouls - 9
These numbers show just how remarkable his recovery season was and the high performance levels and stability he brings to the team. Giving away just nine fouls and receiving three cards is a show of his composure and we are all well versed with his long range passing.. Very impressive
The Others:
As we all agree we are very much a team. This was reflected in the vote too as it was very close for the rest of the boys. They all played a huge part in what was an amazing season.
It was no surprise that Alisson came runner up in the vote though and Diaz came third. Ali was like a brick wall all season saving us time and again and helps to keep Virgil's stats looking healthy..
And Diaz well.. He was just a revelation and I'm sure he will win another vote we have planned so I won't big him up too much just yet as I'll run out of things to write. So lets see what you all had to say..
"The Rock though was VVD his return from serious injury Our basis for success yet again. When he is on the team sheet I'm thinking we win and I'm sure his teamates think the same.
That feeling of safety is the license to play freely for everyone else and when you see pro footballers with rapid pace just give up a race when he is strolling with grace to recover the ball you know true class is on the grass..
Virgil for Me. He is Mr Liverpool. He is the RED's Heartbeat!"

"I would have gone Ali, but after coming back from that injury and looking like he'd never been away, it HAS to be VVD for me"
Kev
"Oh I've changed my mind so many times. Ali, Virg, Fabs. Ali saved our arses so many times this season. Virg brought stability back to our back line. Then there' Matip and his surprising little forays - and goals. But it's Fabi for me. Deals with all the crap, and protects the back line. Presses forward, and scores a few too. Takes no prisoners does our Fabi"
Pam
"I go for Matip, not getting injured meant we have balance and extra in Gomez. He has been our best defender last season"
Will
"Ali for me - he has saved us so many times this season"
