Gaz52 11,837 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 What players are/were overrated in your opinion? For me: Pogba, Thomas Muller, Delle Alli, Sterling, Stones, Firmino, Mane, Hart. To name a few. I just don't see what other people seem to see with these players, I think there are much better players in their positions that don't get half the hype. Pogba especially, he's big and strong with a decent touch but other than that what makes him special? Moussa Dembele of Spurs is 10x the centre-mid he is.

Carlos ✔ but Ronaldinho and Beckham!! Give yourself a shake. I would say Beckham was underrated if anything. His work rate, passing, free kicks and crossing were phenomenal! Just because he didn't dribble like Messi and finish like Shearer does not make him overrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, other than that he didn't have much to him game, even compared to other English midfielders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,892 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Dele Alli is 20 years old and putting up Lampardian numbers from midfield this season. He's not an incredible talent by any stretch but I don't know why anyone would be anything other than impressed by him. Tin hat on. Zidane is overrated. Big game player (most of the time) but a step below the likes of Messi and Maradona in terms of consistent impact, if not talent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt he was quietly underrated, never getting much credit compared to his team-mates, until Sky did an episode of "Football's Greatest" on him, which I thought was a bit OTT Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
