Dominated by six Liverpool players.
Klopp also won the manager of the year award.
Yet they've won just one PL title.
Either Klopp is seriously under-achieving with that squad or the voting system is rigged in favour of Liverpool.
Recent PFA team of the year

Are you really finding this difficult to understand, OP?
That's pretty tragic if so.

Not that I am a City fan, far from it. Can't stand people who just buy everything, than claiming it was all pure skill.
But, yeah, agree with you. The whole thing is a farce. First, how can Son not be in that team ? he won the golden boot ffs.
Then there is the question of how someone who did not win the PL title get's the best manager award ? if he was the best, how come he didn't win it ?

First of all, completely agree Son should have made it, despite an average first half of the season. Salah made it with an average second half.
Your last comment is absolute stupidity.
If it worked like that then why have any players in the team of the season who didn't win the league?
It's not like managers start off the season with the same players, every manager has different obstacles to deal with. For example Moyes was in with a shout but finished seventh. The award goes to the manager who people think performed the best over the season, not to the manager of the team who won the league, otherwise there would be no point having the award as it would be a factual winner. Did you go to the same school as Morespurs?

well they probably get more credit because they are the underdogs, cost less as a team etc? do it the right way? which is understandable. Also its not like theres been a huge diff of points either has there, and they also became the team to go furthest in the quest for the quad.
Also the bigger club so have more influence in such things.

Another city cry for acknowledgement

does seem desperate, City will get respect for being imo the best premier league team ever but its always gonna have that shine taken off it because of how it was done.
Maybe their fans could take such things into consideration when thinking why dont we get as much credit as Liverpool?
Im sure Chelsea faced similar issues as do PSG. As will Newcastle if they ever get there.

I honestly don't give a fek.
When a player comes to the end of his career, he'll be remembered for what trophys were won by the team he was part of, not some shizzle dished out by the PFA.

Give it 20 years and no one will give a toss, people don't go on about how the Moores family bankrolled Liverpool anymore but I've been assured that they did at the time.

This did it the right way sheit does my head in?
Liverpool have the biggest spend of all teams that have won the premier league and yet they only have one PL title.
If they had won titles the days they were buying Hesky, Nick Barmby, Carrol, El Hadji Diouf for all sorts of eye watering fees would it have taken the shine off their success.
All of a sudden best run club ???? Were they the best run club when they were buying Balotelli or Christian Benteke.
The recency bias is incredulous. Its like we must all forget that in the PL era no club has made bigger mistakes in the transfer market than liverpool.
Will that take the shine of this Klopp era?
