Bit sad how Origi only has one point, considering the moments he has given us. Not wrong, just a shame

Oh well, he'll be up to 6 points after his hat trick this weekend

The clean sheet bonus should be eliminated IMO. Alisson is doing just fine without it.

Or added to the entire defence

Our new Champion of Champions is:

VIRGIL VAN DIJK!!!


Discussion points:

1. Virgil won 8 MOM awards this season which is impressive, but just as impressive is that he was pushed the whole season by Alisson and Sadio with 7 each. The fact we have had a group of players on top of their game suggests that Klopp recognises the need to improve on last year's Salah solo show.
.
2. Jordan Henderson had 5 MOM awards. I am so happy for him lifting the cup as he has been not universally liked in the same way as Lucas Leiva. He is a great asset to have and an Englishman with a large heart in midfield. Love his attitude.
.
3. Andy Robertson was Mr. Consistent with 15 places in the top 3 this season. His battle with Trent was one of the great reasons we did so well.
.
4. Talking of TAA, his was a disappointing 13th place in the table with only 1 MOM performance. I suppose when he plays well, we score lots of goals and the attacking players get the votes too.
.
5. Divock Origi was so important this season. We know about his wins against Everton and Newcastle that gained us 4 points in the league, but he also did so well in Europe. One to watch although I suspect he will always remain in the shadows of the front 3.
.
6. The most disappointing thing about our front 3 was Bobby Firmino's hit and miss season. The guy did become blind at one point and suffered different injury problems but he didn't shine as much as his teeth did.
.
7. For me, the new recruits were slow to adapt, and Klopp recognised this straight away and kept their appearances down to a minimum. Keita showed first and impressed in pockets and it took months before we got to see Fabinho Tavares. This guy is so good. He reminds me of a young Patrick Vieira and Steven Gerrard rolled into one. Considering he is in his first season of PL football, it was a mighty impressive season. Well done to him...possibly our 2020 player of the season?

Over to you...what are your thoughts on such a fantastic season?
It should have been the double (97 points and not win the league?! Rubbish).
Let's make it a league victory next year REDS. YNWA.

The table doesn't lie! I think that the list is a very fair reflection of the most important players to us this season.

The clean sheet bonus should be eliminated IMO. Alisson is doing just fine without it.

Disagree, the final points total that he has relative to Virgil and everyone else, is about right.
