in our squad you could say the whole were but im going for Kevin Davies underrated by many and deserved an England call up more than Emile Heskey and Carlton Cole , Zak Knight criticized by many but he is actually quite good
I think for Spurs our most underrated player is Luka Modric. The guy is a fantasic creative midfielder. I'm glad to see Giovanni Dos Santos finally getting some playing time. He's young but he looked great in the World Cup and I think he can be successful as well. I also think Michael Dawson is somewhat underrated. I know he made the England squad but I think he gets lost next to the shining star that is Ledley King. Ledley is my favorite player by Dawson is fantastic in his own right.
Maybe underrate wasn't appropriate. I just don't hear his name very often outside of White Hart Lane. Harry knows he's great and so do we. But when I listen to podcasts and such I don't hear his name alot.
Yeah, his name isn't mentioned as much as Rooney, Drogba, Cesc, Torres, etc, true. But that's because he isn't as good as them. He would say he gets mentioned as much as players of a similar quality like Arteta. And if he isn't, its because there isn't really much to say about him. He is very consistant, doesn't really score a lot of goals, isn't English and there is nothing off the field wise to say. "Modric played well again." Doesn't really make for great radio/podcasts.
I agree with underate not being appropriate, Modric is a fantastic player. I also agree with you on Ledley King, If he didn't have the injuries he has had he would definitely be in England's first 11. I think Niko Kranjcar might be the underated one in your team. He has alot of quality and for the price you paid aswell you can't go wrong.
I think John Obi Mikel is one of Chelsea most underrated player, a lot of people doesn't see his importance in the game of Chelsea. His passing stats and his ability not to loose the ball when the opponents press him are impressive ! I think he played a very important part in the 2010 Premierleague victorious campagn of Chelsea as Owen Hargreaves by example for Manchester United in 2008
For me as an Arsenal fan, Nasri is still underrated for his performance. He has been playing the best soccer during the recent games, but still everything is Fabregas for Arsenal.
For West Ham i think Mark Noble is underrated. Maybe not with other Hammers fans but to other fans i think he is. He is a great all round player. Plus he has like over 100 games for us and he is only 23. And he is a Hammers fan. Parker is also quite underrated. He should get more of a look in, in the England squad. If he played for Man. U, Man. C, Chelsea etc then i bet he would be in the team. I just love the passion that Parker and Noble have when playing for West Ham. If only all of them were like it. And that goes for the England players too. In my opinion that was the thing missing at the World Cup, one of them anyway.
Ji Sung Park for Manchester United. I have never really been a fan but he has recently provided some outstanding performances filling in while Giggs, Valencia and Hargreaves have been injured.
Hmm..I thought he was a former Chelsea player? Parker is a solid player, the only problem for him in representing England is that, you have Lampard, Gerrard and even Milner in midfield.
LOL..Wilshere? The guy's been dubbed the future of England and quite possibly Arsenal..don't understand how he could ever be under-rated..
Muamba isnt under-rated. He just needs development time, which will allow him to fulfil his large potential.
Titus Bramble, Guardian claims Michael Turner is on the provisional list for the France game which is criminal as Brambles been much better this season.
Yeah he was but if he played for Chelsea now i meant. That's true, i know i sound biast but i think he could, sometimes anyway, do a better job then Barry as the holding midfield player. I don't mind Barry but i just think Parker should be given a chance.
Yeah i agree with you. His been one of their best players so far this season, if not the best. He always works hard and keeps his head down. He does his bit for the team. I like him a very good squad player.
I agree with this. I think Parker is more technically sound player and a better tackler than Barry but plays for an unglamourous club so by default is classed as the inferior player.
Barry has been a great player, the only problem is that England has to start building a midfield for Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014. Its time for Capello to start playing the likes of Parker, Huddlestone and even Muamba alongside the irreplaceable Gerrard.
For man u I will say Fletcher, not in the fact that he is underrated maybe but he doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's been very important to our team thus far. He has been helping in the attack well and been our best mid all season.
Fletcher is a big reason why United have done well from last season onwards. Even though United is one of my rival teams, I'd say that Ji-sung Park is the most under-rated player in the United lineup as he rarely has a bad game and usually delivers when he's given the chance to play.
