So how do the players choose?"Everybody has his own opinion. It depends on what people are looking for in a player. "Salah has a remarkable goalscoring run, and he plays very well like an inside forward type of role, for me. This season he has been incredible.  "To compare us, I don't know. With the statistics how are we going to compare ourselves? It's totally different, I played [against Everton] like a defensive midfielder, how you can compare me to an inside forward? I have no idea."He has been outstanding, his record speaks for itself. It's just the way it goes.Luckily I don't have to do that." De Bruyne added: "Well, if I get it, it would be nice I think for the team and for me.In one way I believe I deserve it, because I have been very consistent in my form."I am very happy with myself, I am very pleased with how I have played, I didn't expect to be this good this season, to be honest.  "I think there is almost no game where my standard has dropped, so I have been very constant, and I am very happy with myself. To maintain the level the amount of games I have played, the amount of minutes, I am very pleased with that."</blockquote>
