Underrated players


The Prophet

Recommended Posts

Didn't dominate Serie A did they? That's the one criticism of Carlo. Not enough league titles. Only (I know) the 5 league titles across about 15 seasons at elite clubs.

 

I know all the lads had fun playing for him though.

James McArthur from Palace

David Dunn

Maupay 

Simon Davies 

Steed Malbranque when he was at Fulham. Was it Tony Blair who said he was their favorite player? Crazy. 

Would have said Aaron Cresswell if this topic was posted last week. 

Yossi Benayoun

Morton Gamst Pederson

Marc Albrighton

Ceiran Clark

Ridiculous defence, the best ever imo 

The 93/94 defence conceded 17 goals all season in 46games in Serie A and Champions League, 31 clean sheets, 21 in the league

by not mentioning them they've been underrrated technically

So shout out to the collective unit of Panucci, Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini

Cafu was better than Panucci but Nesta and Stam weren't as good as Baresi and Costacurta imho

Think Mount is underrated internationally (domestically not so much). He’s had a quietly brilliant season as well.

 

 

 

He’s underrated internationally because every performance in an England shirt has been poor. Looks like a player who can’t translate club form so far

Baresi is possibly the best CD of all time.

Colin Hendry. There was a 3/4 year spell at the start of the Premier League era where he was the best CB in the league but he never gets mentioned in the conversation of ‘Best Premier League centre-backs’. That was at a time he was playing Fowler, Cole, Collymore, Ferdinand, Wright, Hughes etc and stood up to it all.

Hendry was a brilliant defender.

Great shout. Apparently we wanted him and Flowers the season we missed out on the title, with those two we win it IMO. In fact Blackburn had such an underrated team say compared to Man Utd back then.

Barry Venison? Could play RB, CB and CM, for me one of our best ever under KK!


Love how one of KKs criticisms was tactical awareness yet turned him into a holding midfielder and got him capped by England playing there at 30.

Think Robson wanted him as well when he joined in 1999/00 on a short-term deal but stuck with Hughes.

I love Joaquin. 

 

Who was the other winger they had on the other side - Vicente?

 

Both good wingers but a little inconsistent if i remember rightly.
