This thread is dedicated to the underated football player... Their contribution and talent are huge but yet the recognition they got are less... Please give a shout to those underrated football player in you opinion...
Here's mine:
1. Steve Finnan: His contribution is always overshadowed by his teammates like Gerrard and Alonso...
2. Francesco Totti: 1 of the best footballer of the year and most probably the most loyal footballer today...
3. Guti: I wonder why he never got the call up into the Spain National Team cause he's good! Quite a consistent player for me...
4. Kolo Toure: A player with capabilities like the likes of Rio and Terry...
5. Sebastian Frey: Great goalkeeper... But never make it into the French squad...
6. David Bentley: McClaren should pick him ahead of SWP!!!!

QUOTE(maniac_rage @ Apr 4 2007, 06:54 PM) Yeah... One of the most underrated player in EPL... I think he's even better than Barton and Parker... Kevin Nolan... Maybe even better than Ballack this season...  |

Added on April 6, 2007, 5:19 pmOh yea, Peter Crouch gets my vote too. A player who can hold the ball as well as a great target man. Scores more than any other Liverpool players despite having lesser time on the pitch. Creates chances for his own teammates too. Top scorer for Liverpool this season with 18 goals? If I'm not mistaken. If Fletcher can get his credit, why can't a player who scored a hattrick against the Gunners get any? I dont think Crouch is underrated... In what way is he underrated? He's now the 2nd choice behind Rooney for England... And also starting 11 for Liverpool... So why is he underrated?  |

QUOTE(lilredridinghood @ Apr 7 2007, 12:17 AM) Fans want him to be the 2nd choice striker for England? I doubt. I often hear criticism of him from so called England fans. Be it reasonable or not. So why not an underrated player? Matt Taylor is a good left back, but often left out...cause he's playing for Pompey, but still in the first eleven of their squad, not underrated? Carra playing for Liverpool's first team but doesn't appear in the first eleven of the England team. Why? Underrated. Everybody kept saying that Fletcher is underrated but I don't see anything in him other than just a hardworker. But Crouch has his uniqueness which is his height and despite of that, surprisingly he can hold the ball quite well, though at times he looked awkward. He can score too, as you can see, a player who's been playing so well this season, he hardly get any credits. Even after the Arsenal's game, most of my friends said that he was just lucky. Not to mention, "somebody" kept saying that he only score for England when they are not playing any competitive games. But where's Rooney? Why can't he score? He played more than Crouch for the past few England games, but yet, Crouch scored more, and now people are saying that he only score during friendlies, but do they count? Hence, I standby my own opinion, Crouch is underrated. Well, check my post back... I never said anything bout the fans... For me Crouch isnt overrated and also not underrated... Maybe he's balanced. Carragher is a great player but there's no England place for him... Why? Because John Terry and Rio is better than him. Do they have 3 slots in the CB? If any player who is a regular in the English squad isnt anymore underrated... People often say Jamie Carra is underrated but not now... Last time he is but now he isnt... Same as Crouch... England 2nd striker, thats not underrated... Player like Kevin Nolan, does so well for his club, plays consistently every week, lead his club by example but yet to play for his country, thats underrated... Nolan imo is better than Parker and Barton... My PoV only la...  This post has been edited by prelude23: Apr 7 2007, 08:42 AM |

No la... Defoe is not that good. Even at club, he's not the first 11. A.Johnson is better than him but also wont score at international level. Defoe is only good enough to be a super sub for England.

QUOTE(BoltonMan @ Apr 9 2007, 04:14 PM)  ...not appreciated? means how? like the manager hardly play the player even he is good, press hardly mention the player even he is good, a player hardly play for national team even he is good? example in early post people said finnan is underrated...  he is rafa first choice right back and he starts all qualifying matches for ireland so far in the euro 2008...and people still said he is underrated...  Finnan is underrated at Liverpool. When Liverpool win games, who will we think of? Gerrard, Kuyt, Crouch, Alonso. Even when it comes to defence, MOST of the people will sing praises to Carragher but very few mention Steve Finnan on the right back. Yes, he played every game for Ireland and Liverpool but doesnt mean he's not underrated. Imagine if Finnan is an English. Do you think Neville will start or him? Also, why Finnan have not featured in Team of the Year or any other awards? Cause his contribution is shadowed by most of his mates. But still, he's a big player for Liverpool. I somehow think Liverpool will miss Finnan more than Sisoko if both gets injured. No offence though. My thoughts only. Feel free to voice your opinion but in a peaceful manner please.
