Overrated Footballers Thread


Recommended Posts

Right Owlstalk which current footballers do you think are massively overrated by fans and/or the press?
 

They can be from any level - Premier League, Championship, or any other.

 

I’ll kick us off with a few Scotland and England internationals who are in my opinion vastly overrated:

 

Andy Robertson

Jordan Pickford 

Harry Maguire

Scott McKenna

Dele Alli 

 

 

Over to you...

Robertson might well have had a few under oar games for Scotland (who hasn't) but he has been excellent for Liverpool and you could tell when he was at Hull that he was destined for the top level. 

 

Can't say I am aware of how highly anyone rates Scott McKenna but I do remember him being pretty poor in one of the Scotland games that Palmer played in last seasons.

 

I agree with the others although after a lot of initial hype I think a lot of the press/fans are seeing that Pickford is not as good as was initially thought.

John Brielsford (that best left back in the world?)

 

 

Who?  I've googled him and can't even find him, never mind know if he's over rated!

 

Some really harsh calls in this thread though.  Andy Robertson is a fantastic player.

 

Can't argue with the following though:

 

Dele Ali

Eric (is) Dier

Pogba

and the one that really baffles me with all the praise - Jack Grealish

Just not bothered...

It redefines overrated. Someone who doesn't exist being the best left back in the world lol
