This was a classic contest this week.
Torres won by virtue of such a big score on one particular site.

ST and Est1892 had Kuyt ahead of Torres, then Mascher.
6CM and TLW had Mascher top with Dirk and then Torres.
YNWA had Torres then Mascher and Dirk.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION.

Amazing how people think different thoughts ain't it?

An end of season feel to the game this week...no stream available so not many people saw the match. Most people were more inclined to vote for their player of the season though...more later.

ST and TLW voted as above.
Est1892 and 6CM voted Gerrard and Reina in swap positions.
YNWA had Skrtel 2nd and Insua 3rd...a unique perspective on the match.

I added up your nominations for Player of the Season in the same way each match day is calculated, 3 points for your first vote, 2 for your second and 1 for your 3rd vote.

The results were:

1. Torres.............................162
2. Mascherano........................91
3. Gerrard..............................62

I found this fascinating. The perception is that Torres is our winner although the season long table only has him in 3rd place, behind the Captain. I believe that we tend to forget what has gone on in the past, and focus on the last 10 games or so...in which case Torres has set a new Premiership foreigner's scoring record etc... Also, Pepe Reina picked up a few votes in this thread since it has been noted he has won the Golden gloves for the third time in a row.

Mascher is therefore our winner, and in my opinion rightly so. His harrying performances in the centre of midfield have singled him out for special praise from the Kop choir this year...in a year where Xabi has been under-par for most of it, and Gerrard has been more free to roam forward...



The Winners table:

2005..................JAMIE CARRAGHER
2006..................STEVEN GERRARD
2007..................DIRK KUYT
2008..................JAVIER MASCHERANO!!!

Re: The 2007/8 Player of the Season game.

Great stuff Morse.

I would have expected Torres to come out on top, but certianly it's no surprise that the top three are Gerrard, Mascherano and Torres.

Re: The 2007/8 Player of the Season game.

And they would be the first three names on my teamsheet.

Thanks a lot for this Morse, great stuff.

Nice one Morse, greatly appreciated.

But the fact that Nando finished in third goes to prove just how loopy those other forums are 😉
