Talk about the way to start the new year. We’ve had certain players take games by the scruff of the neck, and some players just fading into oblivion (Mr Fraudzard, would you please leave the podium?). Who’s been your player of the month so far?
AY’s 3 Picks
- Virgil Van Dijk
He may be contender for Head and Shoulders’ New Campaign, but he’s one heck of a player. Liverpool have lost only once when he’s been on the pitch (Curse you Kun Agüero!!!!!!!!). They’ve let in just 10 goals after 22 games (25 at this stage last year). With Klopp sitting at the top with a buffer of 4 points, Virgil may actually make this their year.
- Mohammed Salah
Of course, I was going to mention him. Top of the scoring charts, and tearing up the one-season wonder tag. Liverpool haven’t had to play really well when he’s on
the pitch: he just pops up with big goals. His successful penalty against a resilient and stubborn Brighton side a testament to that. That’s what Champions are made of. He’s found the back of the net thrice, and failing to only score against Pep. 14 for the season tied with Harry Kane and Gabon’s own Batman (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang). He can’t really go all the way yeah?

- Marcus Rashford
« I discovered Marcus, not you José. » Reports have filtered of an argument between Louis Van Gaal and
José Mourinho over who discovered arguably Man United’s best player (sit down Paul). Two goals v Newcastle Tottenham butterfingers last Sunday have got United within 6 points of that UCL spot. Man United were more than 10 behind in December. With talks of Real Madrid looking to pull off the « Ronaldo to Madrid operation » in the summer, Ed Woodward’s already quaking in his boots.

You can’t even think you’ve seen enough. This is why we love the Barclays Premier League, you just don’t know what’s coming next. What’s up with Mesut Özil?
