Welcome to half two of our Finish of Season awards!
Final week’s article, the place we mentioned who our Participant of the Season was, went very properly! I anticipated Josko Gvardiol to win it by a landslide, but it surely was wonderful to see Erling Haaland and Nico O’Reilly obtain nominations too.
This week, we’re discussing Metropolis’s purpose of the season. Wanting again, there have been a good few contenders.
And recent again from vacation, we’ve acquired Dillon’s opinion, in addition to that from Saul, Manc Pete and myself:
Saul
I might be a contrarian and decide one other purpose, however there may be now doubt in my thoughts it’s the absolute screamer Omar Marmoush managed to get. That purpose already received its fair proportion of awards and that makes it ok for me. The trajectory of the ball, the space, the ability, it’s only a incredible purpose. That’s the clear winner in my thoughts.

Will
I agree with you, Saul, Marmoush’s lengthy vary howitzer in opposition to Bournemouth is my clear alternative for purpose of the season.
However I’d wish to throw one other identify into the hat.
Erling Haaland’s acrobatic volley in opposition to Sparta Prague was fully meaningless, but it surely was a incredible, incredible purpose. The flexibility to leap excessive within the air, then twist, make contact with the ball with the again of his heel and discover the far nook was exceptional. It was a trademark Haaland purpose, and it deserves its recognition.

Dillon
Marmoush is the precise reply from a purely technical perspective, that is without doubt one of the greatest targets I’ve seen in years.
However by way of significance, it’s acquired to be Nunes’ purpose vs Villa. Basically saved Metropolis’s Champions League qualification, and Pep’s celebration proved its significance. As a long-time Jeremy Doku defender, this purpose will play on repeat for fairly some time.

Pete
Marmoush deservedly received Premier League purpose of the season for his strike in opposition to Bournemouth.
Nonetheless, my purpose of the season goes to Jess Park for her strike in opposition to Arsenal on the opening weekend.
From the sting of the ‘D,’ Jess took one contact and unleashed a surprising shot which cannoned off the crossbar and in. The Arsenal keeper may solely stand and watch as Jess gave the Blues the lead.
Jess’s response mentioned all of it. She may hardly consider it hit the online and for me, that’s my purpose of the season.
