The list of Premier League Team of the Year for the 2018/2019 season released by the Professional Football Association (PFA) earlier today has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Many football fans have taken to Twitter to question the credibility of the list following the inclusion of Manchester United’s midfielder Paul Pogba and exclusion of players like Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Liverpool’s Mo Salah, and Alisson Becker who they believe displayed outstanding performance in the outgoing season.

WuzupNaija reports that players named in the team included Ederson Moares, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dijk, Aymeric Laporte, Andy Robertson, Paul Pogba, Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, and Sadio Mane.

Some of the football fans are also furious that Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson Becker didn’t make the list, they opined that the 26-year-old Brazilian is a better goal stopper than his countryman 25-year-old Ederson Moares of Manchester City who was named as the goalkeeper for the Team of The Year.

 

See some of the reactions:

Lol. Allison is supposed to be there and not Ederson.

Pogba makes this list look like a joke!

PFA team of the year is a joke.

Raheem Sterling is in there because he’s doing in the second round what Mo Salah did in the first round.
Ederson over Allison is just ridiculous.

Pogba in midfield ahead of Torreira, Neves, Hazard, Fabinho etc. Absolute joke

Trash?.. even the rival fans know Hazard and Allison should be on that list and wait, did I just see Pogba, the black Charlie Adam in there ??‍♂??‍♂??‍♂.. PFA is trash. pic.twitter.com/yrG9fsYDCM

Even Utd fans would admit Pogba should not be in the PFA team, don’t see how they’ve come up with that decision. Agree with the rest but I think a certain few were unlucky to miss out

-Allison (should defo be in imo)
-Son
-Hazard (Close with Mane)
-Salah (Close with Sterling)

POGBA DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE #PFA Team Of The Year! Someone else deserves it! Someone like Heung-Min Son Or Eden Hazard NOT FUCKING POGBA! He needs to leave the club in the summer and we can bring in someone like Jadon Sancho Or Even Ruben Neves pic.twitter.com/0PIsMc5rcE

Check out save percentage.. Errors leading to goals. Allison always look shaky all through this season. ThankGod for Van Dirk.

Did you know : No Player has been able to dribble past The ??’s this season in EPL? Allison would have been another 50goals w/o that guy

Not sure why PFA are so rigid with formations, if a midfielder doesn’t stand out change the formation…could easily be a 4-2-3-1…hazard replacing pogba, Allison replacing ederson and Salah replacing aguero… Honestly really simple

I think I am not. Allison have conceded more avoidable goals than Ederson this year. Liverpool have conceded less because of their defenders prowess and city with inconstemce defence have conceded less because of ederson brilliance saves and connection with his backline
