Who is the most overrated football player? Can be currently or past. & who is the most underrated football player? Same again, currently or past.
Pogba or Hazard for me are the most over rated of modern times Most under rated in recent times is tricky, but I would say Busquets. A lot of people hate him (understandably) for all the silly play acting which I agree is annoying. But he was so crucial to Spain and Barca when they were at their best. I had the pleasure of seeing him in person twice and he is brilliant, the way he controls the game and breaks up play to allow those with more flair to do their thing. Not appreciated enough IMO.
Not underrated. But how Glavin only got one cap for scotland is bonkers. I'd go along with Eaden and add Chambers. (Underated) Both very good players but had their critics in the fanbase. Eaden has nothing to prove Tbh. Similarly Andy liddel. Overrated is more difficult to judge. But based on some of our younger fanbase choices of more recent eras. Are way ott. Some of the comparisons put forward against far better players. Beggar belief.
Underrated = Michael Carrick, Jermaine Defoe, Park Ji-Sung, Benzema (until recently), Matty Appleby, Paddy McCourt Overrated (amongst Barnsley fans only) = Adam Hammill...
He was slated by our own fans in his first season. Local lad. Won POY year/s after. That's one of the reasons why I've not ruled Benson out from turning his performances round. Let's see if Duff can bring out his best.
