please add graphics. it is hard for us to remember the names

Lewis with the best New Balance promo going, that cap has given him a brain

[@scotttocs]

Foden is so good that he's learnt to play two positions.

[@TP-pq9xx]

He’s played many times at LW, RW, False 9 and in the midfield. 2 positions? Gotta double that.

[@alfiehood7206]

Why has Lewis got better??????

[@CP-sp1zl]

Because he’s improved and played more and better aswell

[@XJokermanX]

Better as in not ill?

Because he couldn't get worse

[@timmy5876]

palmer playing for chelsea who have no creativity and no one who can finish is way more impressive than foden. I was a palmer hater at first saying he only scored pens and was overrated but since the turn of the year i’ve seen more of him and he runs games. Foden has been class aswell but think about how many chances foden gets to score or assist, how many times does he get in a position where he can lay it off to kdb or haaland and they’ll just score it, also running onto kdb, bernardo, grealish’s passes, palmer has to run onto passes from mudryk and enzo😭.

[@hadisyed5384]

the everton game changed my mind on palmer, that first goal was too cold

[@timmy5876]

@@hadisyed5384 exactly bro, it’s easy to watch highlights and say he only scores pens and stuff but he’s been dirty all season, the way he turned rodri who’s been flawless all season was amazing

[@timmy5876]

@@LordSeth-hf8ew at what point did i say that?

[@GOATZELWARDBANDWAGON.]

He doesn’t actually he’s overperorming his xg by like +5 at least. So the opportunities he’s getting he’s taking. And it works both ways Yh palmer is surrounded by crap but that also means everything goes through him he’s the final ball guy. At city e.g he wouldn’t take pens, and more times than not the system would be for Kdb to take the final pass not him. So would he have the same impact? It’s debatable cause he wouldn’t be on the ball nearly as much

[@timmy5876]

@@GOATZELWARDBANDWAGON. palmers on the ball more? i completely disagree, when kdb plays foden will have it less but kdb hasn’t played 90 minutes a lot this season so when foden is playing basically as a 10 which has been the majority of the season he’s on the ball constantly

[@gary_ksa6681]

People don’t understand with foden. If he just dropped off the face of the earth, man city will still be this good. Palmer out of Chelsea’s team and they finish bottom half

[@Paddy22101998]

Doesn’t change the fact that Foden is better. Just because he’s in a better team. This isn’t a sympathy award

[@jakeellis3940]

Just shows u dont watch city this season foden has literally carried city, and if you say he hasn't then your literally calling the likes of Thierry Henry ect a liar

[@3Mizormac]

No they wouldn’t 😭

[@Nightsu]

this is fodens first season where he’s actually been allowed to start games for city. finally a key player at 24, 6 seasons after his debut

[@dacalstaa4337]

and if you put foden in chelsea's squad he'd do the exact same

[@EA-hz9mg]

Really just reiterated the same points for 5 mins cheers lads

[@RyanLion799]

Foden literally played over 50 games this season, how Is he not a first choice player 😂

Because Kevin was injured

Tell me Theo didn’t just say Foden shouldn’t win it because we don’t know what his best position is. Wtf has that got to do with it he’s been insane all year hands down deserves to win both awards

Should be a breakout star award like a young plur who may like play 20 odd games as a sub but play well for their age as such and young player of the year like ya sakas palmers n fodens

[@DannyStar91]

No on screen graphics? Why?

[@johnbarthow4456]

Reckon the prem should bin young player of the year award off and do an nba style rookie of the year.

[@Wedtstsys]

Funny they spent all podcast trying to wind Lewis up and he didn’t bite once 😂

[@joshtansley-boulton8085]

Everyone will say look at the players foden has around him but fsils to realise that foden has literally been carrying that city team this season. If you dont think that then your literally calling the likes of thierry henry ect a liar

[@HJKR999]

Normally just laugh at theo and move on but saying Foden shouldn’t have it because “he isn’t man city’s first choice in any position” is just stupid. Foden is first choice for the team, when De Bruyne was out the team ran through him and now he’s back he’s utilised just as well in a different position, his ability to play so well in both is the reason he deserves the award.

[@user-bq2tc6dh6t]

Foden has only been class since February he scored half his goals/assists since then

[@jackjohnson156]

ye no Eliiot is crazy

[@abyeadchowdhury2529]

Rlly isn’t mate

[@Kyel1103]

Coming from a villa fan, from what I’ve seen from him this season and what I watched the other night against us, he really does go under the radar, ran the show against us going forward only thing that lets him down is his defensive work, gets too wound up when he can’t get the ball and often leads to giving up a foul but other than that he’s the real deal

[@bifftannen2696]

The recency bias is crazy. Guys done fuck all most of the season

Foden to win POTY and Palmer to win YPOTY

[@ShahmirMahmood]

Palmer easily

[@liamconnor5146]

Haaland won player of the season last year and was nominated for young, yet saka won the young player. So palmer can win it this season if foden wins the main one

[@TP-pq9xx]

Haaland wasn’t eligible for the PFA young player award last season but he did win the PL young player award sponsored by hublot (tm)

[@Georgeutd7]

24 and under reev

[@airwolfalete]

Young player of the season should be breakout player of the season instead or if you win it once you can’t win it again

[@Cbfbxvzg]

I agree with Lewis, foden shouldn’t even qualify for young player he’s got kids ffs

[@jonnohicks2176]

think also once someone has won young player they cant be nominated again

@@steliosmargaritis5389 I was mistaken. Haaland actually did win this award last year, the Hublot young player award which has only existed for a few years. And has an age 23 limit. The PFA young player award that has been around since the 1970s has already changed its age limit to 21 at the beginning of the season so Haaland wasn’t eligible for that one.

How ya saying mainoo he's played less than half the season what close to a quarter right? He is phenomenal how can he be young player of the season ?

[@gary_ksa6681]

Palmer has had a better season than foden

[@Young_Brumm15]

Awards (Imo): POTS: Ollie Watkins YPOTS: Foden (since he's still in that age bracket)

[@TP-pq9xx]

The main young player of the season award is the PFA award and the age limit is 21 at the start of the season. Foden isn’t eligible and this is the last season that Saka or Palmer can win it.

[@Young_Brumm15]

@@TP-pq9xx Well, in that case, Palmer should be the clear favorite for the award, and should probably win it (even though I think that he is an overrated player overall).

[@TP-pq9xx]

@@Young_Brumm15 Palmer has obviously had the best season but I think him Saka and Gordon are all around the same level. And I think Doku has a higher ceiling than any of them.

[@Young_Brumm15]

@@TP-pq9xx See, with Jeremy Doku, I can't tell how good he'll be. Because in the first 10-15 games he was just tearing up defenses left and right with his dribbling, and then after that his performances kinda tailed off for a bit. But that may be down to first Prem season symptoms, and he may just need to adjust. As a shot creating winger, who can get his players in the best position to score, I think he'll do well. As a true scorer himself, I personally am not sure🤷

[@TP-pq9xx]

​@@Young_Brumm15 Yeah I mean, Doku has only played 1500 minutes and he is still blowing away not just the premier league but all top 5 European leagues in the dribbling statistics. I can't remember seeing someone as explosive as him. And the player in second place in Europe for the most progressive dribbles is Savio. Doku and Savio could be on either wing for City next season just creating havoc.
