The inclusion of Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson ahead of Liverpool goalie, Alisson Becker, in Professional Footballers’ Association’s (PFA) Team of the Year has generated debate among football fans on social media.

Defending champions City dominated the PFA Team of the Year announced on Thursday.

City forwards Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero, midfielders Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho, and centre back, Aymeric Laporte, were all named in the side.

Liverpool dominated the defensive positions with centre back Virgil van Dijk joined by full backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the side while forward Sadio Mane was also listed.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba was the only player not from either Manchester City or Liverpool to be named in the team.

Football fans have now reacted with outrage that Alisson ought to have made the cut ahead of Ederson.

Alisson Becker appreciation tweet.

It’s absolutely criminal how the best goalkeeper in the league, perhaps the word, has been ignored from the PFA team of the year.

It’s not even up for debate, he deserved that spot over Ederson.

I find it bizarre how the PFA TOTY chose Ederson over Alisson who has kept the most clean sheets with 19 in the PL to Ederson’s 17. Stats wise Alisson has been far superior. What is that logic? 😂

Matt@FalseFirmino

Ederson over Alisson is totally bizarre.

Absolutely baffling that Hazard didn’t make the team, when he should have arguably even won POTY. not a fan of Ederson above Alisson, too. otherwise the team seems ok

So what does Allison have to do other than get the most clean sheets in the season to get into the team of the year? Kick the ball really good? Well, he does that too..

How can Allison as the Premier League leading keeper with the most clean sheets not make that team? PFA is useless.
