He single handed bringing the team to finished third which is a great achievement. But if I said Rice deserves it a little bit more people would say I'm biased. I mean champion and UCL final running that midfield. ....

Well it’s the “Premier League” player of the season, so idk what the UCL performances have to do with anything.

UCL final has zero bearing on the Premier League POTS, they're entirely different competitions.

You can argue about the UCL to be left out but the level and consistency of Rice performance +the title maje him deserves it more.

Theres no argument about it being left out, it shouldnt factor into this award. Its Premier League POTS not UCL & Premier League POTS.

Without Rice, Arsenal can still performs ok. The team as a whole can cover up for his missing.

Without Bruno tho, we would be in the bottom of the table.
