and then when he gets injured, the reason will be ‘unlucky innit’?
He’s just built different. Absolute stallion

Now that KDB is fucking off. I’m expecting Rice to cement his position as the league’s best midfielder. Rodri might have something to say about that and Liverpool have their glitzy new signing, but I’ve got faith in Rice.
Yeah, not too worried about him. He seems to pace himself well within his capacity.

Scoring two freekicks in a game can really elevate one’s standing in world football 
Well at least he’s ours.
Fully deserved. Free kicks the standout moments but had superb games through the tournament.

To be fair, Rice is definitely needed in a team filled with Raphinha, Yamal, Doue, Dembele & Hakimi.
Also Rice won back to back MOM against Real Madrid so it wasn’t just the free kicks.

The two free-kicks were watched globally many times and have become historic.
Was always likely he won this since then.

I thought Gabriel’s contract signing & announcement for player of the season will go hand in hand.
Thank goodness they got Gabriel to sign before this poll result else he would have submitted a transfer request.

No one seems to rate Partey, this is so weird.

Partey and Gabriel not being in this is the ultimate joke.
1st place for scoring two free kicks lol. Great that it happened, but these two have been miles clear of him this season.
Such a weird fanbase - 52% of the vote as well… lol.
Why would Partey be there?
He’s been good but not player of the season nomination for me.
Rice was always gonna win because of recency bias.
Gabriel 1st half was more impressive and by the time the votes start people forget about the 1st half of the season. It happens every single season
Two free kicks and you win player of the season
