Most Improved Player 2014/15, Kane Aside

[talkshowhost86]

I'd vote for Holtby. He's looked a much better Spurs prospect week in week out.

Rose has been great this year, but he was at Sunderland and was under AVB (albeit only 4 games before he got injured), it's only under Sherwood he was crap.

Bentaleb has come on along way from last season and his attitude has been top notch, never backing down and shouting at senior players when necessary. I think sometimes people need reminding he is just 20.

Mason has gone from doing well in League One to regular starter for us and making his England Debut. Many question his inclusion in the team, but his quick forward passing has been important to the team IMO and he is playing next to another box to box player who is young and in experienced.

Personally I think Mason and Bentaleb have been over played and need a rest, which is affecting them, but also, being paired with someone inexperienced isn't helping them (it should be those two rotating next to an experienced player with defensive qualities IMO) as well as having no defensive protection from the 3 in front of them.

Mason just edges Bentaleb for me, but both are an excellent shout.

 

[The Scarecrow]

Not sure Bentaleb's improved at all really, I'd be tempted to argue he's actully regressed

Couldn't disagree more. Sure, he hasn't been up to his regular standards lately, but he's young and is bound to have bad patches. There have been times this season where he has basically gotten better for every game.

Danny Rose without a doubt

 

[Benny Boy]

1) Rose
2) Mason
3) Bentaleb

I think it was @thinktank who was absolutely convinced Davies would be Number 1.

Am I right?

He was for a while and the only reason Rose has kicked on is because Davies came and gave him a decent fight.

Win win.

There's few deserving of a vote. Danny Rose who most of expected to be second choice after the signing of Ben Davies has surprised us this season. He still has faults but has improved greatly under Poch this season.

 

[Doomchicken]

My initial thought was Rose and I see many people have gone for him. But on thinking about it I've realised it must be Mason. He's gone from a League 1 player to vital to our midfield. I remember one game while Bentalen was at AFCON out midfield had neither Bentaleb or Mason and it was awful, but when Mason was subbed on he got the midfield running smoothly and linking defence to attack.

Paulinho.
































Kidding! Rose for me too!

 

[Mr-T]

Just wondering why Soldado and Ade are options, I thought this was for most improved player.

Anyway, Mr Rose gets my vote.

 

[Lighty64]

I have gone for Chadli, until his loss I really felt he was most improved player

I keep seeing Rose votes, and ok not seen as much games this season, but if Rose has improved I would really like to know in what area. He is still too slow taking throw-ins, he still not getting enough crosses in, and he is part of a defence that still has 6 games to go, and are heading for more goals conceded than we did last season, and that's after a few tonkings we got last season. in fact our worst 2 defenders in my view are Rose and Walker

I have never seen anyone criticise anyone for that reason ever, Don't think he is any worse than anyone else.

That's a simplistic way to look at it if you think the individual defenders or the flat back 4 are purely responsible. The setup from front to back and the players in it are more of the problem. Rose individually has also performed better than his defensive contemporaries.

I just put all players that were there last season and have featured in a certain number of games.

Obviously I didn't expect them to get any votes but you always get one smart ass who says 'Where's Soldado?!'

I just get wound up at the time it takes, and we lose possession from every set piece we take way too often. I also notice that both our full backs give away too many clumsy fouls, and that a lot of our goals conceded in matches I've watched this season have been via our full backs.

the trouble is I went in to this season for the 1st time as a glass half empty, I haven't had the want to go (though that's through health reasons too), and if it hadn't been for a Kane, Eriksen and Lloris we would of been in the shit this season, I know I voted Chadli and yes he has improved on last season, but overall as a team I don't think we have

 

[DiamondLites]

If Chadli had maintained his form of before his leave if absence then he would have got my vote. However he has looked disinterested at best since he came back into the fold

Rose gets it for me, a drastic improvement in attitude as much as anything this season

 

[Francis Gibbs]

a painful indictment of our season but its Danny Rose by a long distance

 

[Shea]

How did Soldado get a vote?

 

[Swalien]

Gone for Mason he was just an always injured waste of supposed talent who was not even considered a first team option prior to this season, now he has cemented his place in the squad and will surely get better next season especially after going through his first bout of ill form. I have been very surprised to see him play centre mid I thought he may appear for us this year a couple of times in the cup further forward.

 

[Chris12]

How did Soldado get a vote?

Scored a goal without a penalty. #winning

Clearly Taost though

 

[Gbspurs]

Although not a previous player Dier deserves a mention as no-one would have assumed when we signed him that he would become out starting CB. He has done well for a £4m 21 year old from Portugal tbf and I'm sure Poch has played a part in that.
