Most overrated player from each team 14/15

Recommended Posts

Seems to be more a list of those who under performed than those who were overrated. With Danny Ings a reasonable exception. Interesting though.

Surprised that Gerrard wasn't classed as 'overrated'; personally not surprised he wasn't actually good last season.

 

Many of the pundits seem to love him.

I agree with the majority of that list to be honest, my disagreements;

 

Wilshere - Personally think he's quality.

 

Kramaric - Underwhelming so far? Yes. Over-rated? Not really seeing that.

 

Sterling - Not over-rated. People in this country just change their opinion on irrelevant stuff. You search Sterling's name on Twitter and watch everyone laying into him yesterday despite him being one of our best players, that doesn't strike me as as someone very highly rated to me.

 

Long - Not sure he falls under the over-rated category.

 

Dyer - I've always liked Dyer.

 

Reid - Why's he picking at his goals tally? He's a defender. I'd have made theirs Mark Noble as he's England's saviour according to some of their fans.

Yeah the only ones I wholeheartedly agree with are Caulker and Huddlestone, they're players people recognise and and try to look knowledgeable about the bottom half clubs but they've never seen them play more than 5 times

 

 

 

 

Most of those players got slagged off more than praised because they were overhyped before they had a proper chance to prove yourself.

Not sure how Kramaric can be overrated given that he's barely played and has never played up front with a strike partner. He's not even rated. Who has lauded him? No one really.

 

Same with Di Maria, everyone has said how shit he's been.

 

Dyer on the other hand has been massively underrated for many years.

 

Huddlestone is a great shout though.

I actually believe ours is Schmeichel. Had a great end to the season and I like him but the amount of times I hear him talked about in relation to Champion's League clubs etc. is crazy. He also had a very questionable start to the season IMO.

 

He's far too vulnerable to things flashing across the face of his six yard box and not being a big enough presence at set pieces. It's a shame because his shot-stopping is first rate and his kicking can be fantastic. Before he deserves to be talked in the kind of terms I often hear him being talked in however he needs to improve on these aspects of his game.

Re Long, I presume that's based on his ratio of transfer fee and games played, the "rated" coming from Southamptons valuation of him. Although his loss impacted on them eventually Hull were surprised at the offer which gave them a few million pounds profit after just six months at the club and probably drove him straight down there that day.

A few ofcourse are ridiculous but the Ross Barkley call is absolutely spot on. If he wasn't English we would all be calling him a bang average footballer, similar story to Wilshere, although he has improved in the last 12 months when fit just a shame he is made of biscuits. 

Disagree with Dzeko for Man City though, Kompany and Toure must be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Arsenal - Ox

Burnley - Boyd

Chelsea - Cahill

Hull - Dawson

Man City - Fernandinho

Saints - Tadic

Swansea - Shelvey

Spurs - Walker

West Brom - Berahino

West Ham - Noble

Just my humble opinion

He's ours as well for me. I don't think he's not good enough but he's got too many flaws to be linked to some of the clubs he's been linked to in my opinion although credit to him - I'd understand it a lot more if he was always as good as the final two months.

I can kind of see why they picked Kramaric. None of our players were rated at the beginning of the season. Everyone thought we were shit. In January, we were in big trouble and the way the Kramaric transfer was received by us and the media was that he was a quality striker who would score the goals to get us out of trouble. Even Pearson said he needed to hit the ground running. That didn't happen he only scored three goals (definitely not his fault being played on his own up front and our other strikers playing their way into undroppable form) and the three goals hr scored weren't exactly match winners.

Before you bite my head off, I wouldn't say he is overrated. Just that they had to pick someone for this feature and I can see why they picked him.

Posted

I think they're all very harsh - i'd only agree with Di Maria out of the whole lot - you could've added a few for Man Utd, Falcao in particular.

 

I don't think Kramaric is overrated, it's his first stint in the premier league, it takes time to adjust and he wasn't given a decent run. He will be class next season.

It's like saying Jay Rodriguez at Southampton was overrated because he didn't score... he also didn't play a single game.

One of the main reasons we stayed up was Kasper. Fantastic player and a massive character. Vital for us.

Also can't believe Wilshere is on that list. He's quality.
