The 2010/11 Player of the Season game

[Morse]

The Liverpool Supporters’ Player of the Season game.

 

Hello everyone.

 

Some of you may know me. I am a visitor to quite a few LFC sites and have been the custodian of the player of the season game for 6 years now. The game has spanned many different sites in its time and last year the main voters came from Est1892, 6CM, Scouser Tommy, TLW and YNWA. I am hoping that more voters from other sites will give a more accurate picture of our feelings as Liverpool supporters.

 

I am hoping that you will play a part in this 7th year to enable us to get a picture of our players’ performances and to crown a worthy winner come May 2011.

 

Previous winners:

 

2005 – Jamie Carragher

2006 – Steven Gerrard

2007 – Dirk Kuyt

2008 – Javier Mascherano

2009 – Xabi Alonso

2010 - Javier Mascherano

 

 

This year, the format will be the same. Instead of voting for a single player as your Man of the match, you vote for your top 3. This enables a “steady Eddie” like Reina or Kuyt to get his mentions and gain some points. (I did think about a top 5 list, but can foresee problems when the result goes against us…getting people to vote for 1 player is hard enough!)

 

Points are the same as last year, top player gets 5 points, second player gets 3 and third player gets a single point.

I will award a bonus point if our Goalkeeper keeps a clean sheet.

 

All competitive games are counted, CC, FA, ELQs, EL and Premier League matches.

 

I shall post current league tables so that we can follow the players’ performances throughout the season.

 

Hopefully, the tables will put an end to the “Babel is s****” type of arguments.

 

If a moderator could ensure a sticky when I post a Man of the Match thread, I would be grateful…also it would be nice if I could have a sticky league table thread for the game throughout the season.

 

Thanks for your support in this.

 

YNWA.

f*** me Morse - either you've got a nifty programme to sort all of this, or you're putting in some serious legwork.

 

Either way, kudos

Result: Game 11 - Northampton - Home - CC

 

1. Shelvey.................................52 votes....................................Errm (* see below).

2. Kelly......................................32 votes

3. Pacheco...............................17 votes.

 

This game was not on TV and many people never saw it. The fact that it was such a poor showing too meant that the number of votes cast was at an all-time low.

Kelly and Jonjo were given some credit although many of you will agree that neither deserve a MOM award based on such few votes.

I did think about writing this one off but on reflection I will give Shelvey a point*.
