In a jaw-dropping moment that left Chris Sutton stunned, a journalist's decision to overlook Mohamed Salah for player of the year has ignited fury among Liverpool fans.

Salah's phenomenal form this season has been pivotal in Liverpool's pursuit of a 20th league title, as they stand just one point away from glory. With a crucial match against Tottenham looming, Salah's contributions cannot be overstated.

The Egyptian superstar is on track to secure both the Premier League Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award, boasting an impressive tally of 27 goals and 18 assists in just 33 games.

Despite these staggering achievements, some still fail to recognize his brilliance. During a recent episode of the 'It’s All Kicking Off!' podcast, journalist Ian Ladyman made the baffling claim that Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes deserved the player of the year award, completely disregarding Salah.

Even more perplexing was Ladyman's choice of Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as his runner-up, leaving Salah without even a second place. Sutton's reaction was one of disbelief, questioning, "Are you joking? That’s ridiculous."

As Sutton continued to critique Ladyman's choices, he presented his own top three: Chris Wood at number three, Virgil van Dijk at two, and Mohamed Salah taking the top spot. He praised Van Dijk's return to form, stating, "He’s a leader and integral to Liverpool winning the Premier League."

But it was Salah's record that Sutton emphasized. "27 goals and 18 assists is absolutely extraordinary. He’s a difference maker at the top end of the pitch. Scoring goals is the hardest job, and he does it brilliantly."

Liverpool fans are left wondering how anyone could possibly elevate Fernandes over Salah, especially when Manchester United sits at a disappointing 14th in the Premier League. With Fernandes tallying only eight goals and nine assists this season, the decision feels even more unfounded.

In the world of football, some opinions are so outrageous they defy logic—and putting Bruno Fernandes ahead of Mohamed Salah in any player of the year conversation might just take the cake.
