Steven Gerrard

[Shaggy]

Gerrard has now won more Player of the Month awards (6) than anyone else. Rooney and RvP next on 5. Can't see either of them ever winning one again

[Liverpool]

I'd say Gerrard slightly deserved it more, his goals were more crucial.

Who Scored's six nominations for players of the year....

The other three are Hazard, Silva and Rooney.

Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)

With 20 league goals to his name, a feat bettered only by team-mate Luis Suarez this season to date, it's little surprise to see Daniel Sturridge feature.

The Englishmen netted in eight consecutive league appearances throughout January and February and has been prolific throughout the course of the campaign when fit.

The 24-year old has scored 13 goals with his favoured left foot, which is the most in the division, but has shown a decent variety to his goalscoring, netting four headed efforts to boot.

In the past he's been criticised for what has been deemed as selfish play but his link up, particularly with Luis Suarez, has been superb this season, registering seven assists from open play.

Sturridge may well fall short in this category but will likely be one of the frontrunners for the Young Player of the Year award.

Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)

While progress was certainly made under Brendan Rodgers last season, few Liverpool fans would genuinely have believed that they would be challenging for the title already under the Ulsterman.

While much of the credit has fallen at the feet of the Reds' strike partnership, their talismanic captain has been as integral as ever, and few would begrudge Steven Gerrard a Premier League crown.

The midfielder has had to adapt his game with age, sitting deeper and dictating the play with his ever-incisive range of passing. The 33-year old has picked up nine assists to match last season's tally but also scored 13 goals, 10 of which have come from the spot, making this the second-highest scoring campaign in the league in his long and illustrious career.

Luis Suarez (Liverpool)

In truth, there seems little doubt as to where the top gong will end up this season, - or at least where it should.

Luis Suarez may not be everyone's cup of tea, to put it nicely, but over the course of the campaign he has shown the most flashes of brilliance, having done so on a consistent basis throughout the season.

With 29 goals to his name he looks set to break Cristiano Ronaldo and Alan Shearer's record of 31 in a 38-game season and may well usurp the 34 that both the latter and Andy Cole managed before the campaign was whittled down from 42 matches.

The Uruguayan has both scored (15) and created (19) the most clear-cut opportunities in the league, and in leading the division in both goals and assists (11) up to now, there can be little debate that he has been the best player in England's top tier.

Indeed, his 29-goal tally is better than the tallies of both Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at this stage this season, and the controversial forward must surely now be considered in the same breath as the duo that seemed to be head and shoulders above the rest prior to the current campaign.

Ramsey got more done in just a few months than Rooney has all season Toure surely has to be in there as well, no?

[Liverpool]

Rooney has 15 goals, 12 assists in the PL, not too bad

[RichC]

Yup I'd have Lallana, yaya, Henderson, Sterling, Skrtel & Ramsey over him to start off with.

[Daniel 7]

Rooney is the only English totem selling point for the best league in the world though. Its all about the hubris with him - they donlt even hype Suarez as much as they did Bale. Rooney gets it this season, look at the reaction to THE goal he scored a few weeks ago. Suarez and Alonso have scored the equal but they weren't mentioned in the same breath as this "magnificent stroke of genius"

Its a joke.

Sure he's been good and United's stand out player (in their worst Premier League season), but he hasn't done what Gerrard has this season, let alone Sturridge and Suarez.

But not worth anywhere near £300k per week

He also has the highest number of appearances in the "PFA Team of the Year" with 7. No one even comes close from the current generation
