April 23, 2019Squawka Talker Awards: Player of the Year to the Premier League’s biggest flop
Despite being a day later than usual, the latest Squawka Talker is well worth the wait…
In this week's episode, host Jake Entwistle is joined by Muhammad Butt, Sam Long and Tom Green to make a Squawka Six shortlist for six new and improved Premier League awards:
Player of the Year
Young Player of the Year - done properly
Rookie of the Year - with a twist
Most Improved Player
Manager of the Year
Flop of the Year
After discussing the quest for the best, the podcast fixes the broken criteria for Young Player awards in an attempt to find the brightest U21 talent in the English top-flight this season.
Crystal Palace's Yu-Gi-Oh, Burnley's own Leroy Sané, Christian Eriksen 2.0 and Bournemouth's baby-faced, bubblegum-footed forward all make an appearance in this bumper episode.
Also, a look back on the players that have let us down in 2018/19 as we dig up some very bold pre-season predictions and cry about injuries and some truly baffling defending.
Tuck in all at once or listen to the six mini chunks as we go through the candidates for each award.
Make sure to keep an eye on the Squawka Instagram story to cast your vote for each of the awards on Thursday!

April 01, 2019 "Liverpool have the best full-back pairing in Europe."
In 2017, Liverpool gave Hull City £8m for their left-back. In 2019, his importance feels genuinely comparable to that of Jordi Alba at Barcelona.
Host Jake Entwistle is joined this week by Muhammad Butt, Will Hall and Squawka Talker debutant Tom Green to discuss why Liverpool are being deliberately uncreative in midfield, Huddersfield's status among the worst Premier League teams of all time, whether we really have the worst referees in the world, as well as last week's Man Utd hot take from Louis van Gaal.
There was also just about time for a Squawka Scout looking at how Mauro Icardi is "humiliating" Inter Milan, in the words of head coach Luciano Spalletti.
