We really need to change the name of the award to; Best dozen games this season. Then, I can think of another three players who deserve a mention!
Feels like our season started when he was sacked. How we were not cut adrift I'll never fully understand.
We've been unbelievably lucky with how many poor teams there have been and particularly Swansea jumping off a cliff. I'll take it though, we didn't sack him until March!
There's Goal of the Season too https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-05-10/southampton-goal-of-the-season-award-1718 McCarthy and Boufal for me. No matter what he's done recently it got us 2 valuable points and was a brilliant goal.
Alex for player of the season. His saves were important in themselves and for how they improved the team's confidence. All goals that got points are equally important. I honestly forgot Boufal's and voted for Tadic. Gabbi is the obvious choice, but that Bournemouth result set us nicely for a strong finish. I am also delighted how Tadic has stepped up and really cares....I know that has nothing to do with best goal (should probably be Boufal or Lemina), but the club did mention that it coud be one considered to be important.
McCarthy for player and Boufal for goal. I was tempted by Yoshi for the player award. I know he has his detractors, and I know he's still capable of pulling a yoshida at an inopportune time, but I've always liked the way he goes about his business calmly and professionally. A solid player.
Cant choose between alex McCarthy and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. McCarthys saves have been top notch.but Pierre-Emile Højbjerg maybe just gets ahead for me. Could see a top notch player in the games he has played ,also has a great attitude and fighting spirit
