I agree Nick!

Because if there's an underdog having a screamer of a month there's enough weird romantics that will plump for said underdog.

Take the Cardiff hattrick out i and guarantee Glenn Murray would have won.

Could be right.

full list, Harry Kanes already joint first with Gerrard for most potm's 6 each.

If it wasn't about number of goals and more about all round performance then Messi would have won no awards. He offers nothing other than goals. I hope these awards start getting decided by people who actually watch football and not just look at stats, then give it to players like Messi who are just goal hangers.

Hazard has been good, probably have to say Sanchez deserves it though for his winner in the 3-2 comeback last weekend. Haven't seen Hazard put under that sort of pressure this month.

Agree, Sanchez deserves POTM for scoring that huge goal in the relegation battle between United and Newcastle

I hope not!

Not a surprise for once he's been productive rather than dribbling for the sake of dribbling

Hazard seems to be man of the match most of the times we win, well whenever we're on TV, the co-commentator usually goes with Hazard.

He may not win many POTM awards but reckon he's won plently MOTM ones.

One POTM suggests he may have been a little inconsistent.

Or because the POTM usually comes down to goals scored, you hardly see any defenders win it.

may suggest that, but it's not the truth

Just had a quick look at previous winners, last time a defender won POTM was 5 years ago - Vertonghen.

The dribbling comment was a little wum ,but he's not normally this productive, these things normally go down to who scored the most in that month

Fully deserved

Along with De Bruyne best player in the league for me

well that was what I was alluding to, as for productivity, in terms of goals of course. But I wouldn't say kante was not productive because he doesn't score etc etc.

Yes, Robin van Rapo won it five times... Zola once

VVD should've won it for September.
