I reckon Milner is the most overrated within the context of the pundit/media obsession with him every time he plays. Can't deny he's turned into a solid player since adopting the Sun Ji Park role, but sometimes it feels like the commentators/pundits have had printed instructions from Downing Street to praise Milner every time he does the most basic of things competently, just to keep the country ticking. Oh look, it's James Milner, he's honest, he works so hard, he does the job noone else would, what a GREAT ball by James Milner there (anyone else on the pitch plays the same ball and they'll only get their name singled out for praise if they've agreed to give a post-match blowjob to the commentators). Bit of trivia but do you know you that an army of James Milners would have won the first and second World Wars within a day? Six James Milners would be enough to take on the most experienced Navy Seal unit, seven and it'd be too much for the best SAS squadron.
The king of overrated players in the Premiership has to be Samir Nasri. Such an average player who does nothing but prance around the pitch with his straightened-back-style running and poncey face. Aside from that shit goal he scored in Euro 2012, he's done sod all since signing for Man City, and should have been moved on by now were it not for his "safety first" style of play being preferred by talentless, conservative managers like Mancini.
Underrated:
- Sylvain Distin (frequently puts in quality performances when I've watch Everton, and the mistakes are few/far between)
- Adel Taraabt (does alot for QPR, often on his own, and like Anelka half a decade ago, the bad boy reputation is exaggerated and overshadows his performances on the pitch in a miserable QPR side)
- Wes Hoolahan (always suprised by his decent touch/ability/creativity)
- Shane Long (looks retarded when he runs, but is very effective at using his pace well)
