Genuine question - for people picking Ramsey's goal, what do you see in it that raises it above Watkins?

For me they are similar and both great finishes, but the move for Watkins' starts in our box and the move for Ramsey's on the half way line. 

I'm not sure the bit about where they start is correct. The clip for the Ramsey goal starts with the ball being passed when it's halfway inside our own half, but the video doesn't show what happened before that. In my opinion, Ramsey's is better because the Norwich defenders are much closer to him and he dinks inside and out a couple of them, before scoring at the keeper's near post. Ramsey is given much more space, so not quite as difficult. Still a cracking goal though.

I've gone for Jacob Ramsey's goal against Norwich.

I'm with Risso, both great goals (and in the 4 I picked out as genuinely top drawer from the vote) but, for me, the Ramsey one was a notch above because of the power and drive he displayed. Voted for Cam in the end though, it was a truly perfect header.

1 - Ramsey v Norwich. Just perfect technique. Great surging run, strength to hold off the challengers and a cracking finish.
2 - Archer v Chelsea - lovely team build up and a truly brilliant header.
3 - Ings v Newcastle - not a hit and hope overhead, but powerfully directed from miles out.

That's where I landed as well. Great to see two of our home grown youngsters up there.

What about Ollie's goal at Burnley? Oh, I forgot the season ended last week! Just shows the stupidity of not waiting until the end of the season for nominations.

PFA Player of the Year is the silliest, I think they usually have to vote in about February.

It doesn't fulfil the usual criteria for these things as it was poked in from a yard or two out, but the build up to that Luiz goal from the flick over the top from Chambers and the ball across from Coutinho was genuinely beautiful.

The Ramsey one where Coutinho totally did the Dirty Leeds player on the halfway line before playing him in was a personal favourite.

Yes, and arrowing the finsh into the top corner with the air of supreme confidence was particularly sweet

In fairness they all have merit.  I personally voted for Archer v Chelsea.  It was a real old-school centre forward's goal: a tremendous run and cross met with an athletic leap and pinpoint header which left the 'keeper stranded knowing he was beaten the second it hit Archer's head so was wasting his time attempting to save it.  I loved it.  Now, if the list had included Watkins effort on Saturday I would have been struggling to choose.

In what might end up as a very Meh season there are some great goals.

Some very good ones not in there and my favourite is the Luiz goal against Southampton

Brazillian pass by Chambers with outside of boot, to a Brazillian Magician to calmly roll across the goal for another Brazillian to tap in

Just beautiful

My personal faves so far

Watkins Brighton - fabulous end to end move

Ings -Newcastle - proper goalscorer doing what he does best

Ramsay - Norwich away - just great run and drive home (fair play to ref for playing advantage)

Sanson scored a belter in training the other day, I'd go for that one if it was listed just to give the poor b'astard some moral support.
