Underrated Premiership players...

...either the ones who the pundits would go crazy about if they played for the big 4 or just people where you think that they're (bad) reputation goes before them.


MIKEL ARTETA

Matt Taylor

Gareth Barry

David Bentley

Drogba (still ! - apparently he's scoring because Shevchenko is opening up space for him )

Glen Johnson

Robin van Persie (could he be more talented ?!)

Steven Davis.

Steven Davis > Cesc Fabregas.

Kevin Nolan

Lampard

Kalou

Toure, i know everybody probably recognises him as a good defender but he really is Arsenal's rock and has stood upto the task of replacing big Sol

Lampard??

come off it!

Brian McBride

Xabi Alonso - How he's still not considered the best midfielder in the premiership is beyond me

Luis Garcia - Always thought of as the inconsistent Spaniard who can't "hack the pace and physicality" of the league.

Riise.


...Outside of Liverpool?

Hayden Mullins, Robbie Keane (keane > van persie), Saha ... Blah, blah, blah. My mind is a blank at the moment.

Yesterday he was shit, but Lampard's performances this season have actually been very good more often than not.

Still gets no recognition of course

Michael Carrick.

Seems the easy thing these days for people to say he only passes backwards or sideways.

Fulham could field an underrated XI for chrissakes...Such little credit.

Carrick underrated my arse!

Friedel, Valencia, Primus, and Lucas Neill are underrated.

he should be dropped from the England team, because his performances are poor for England.

But some of his performances for Chelsea have been superb, but this gets overlooked because of his england form.

Are we talking underrated by the media or underrated on here?

Because everyone mentioned so far isn't underrated on here, merely by the fact that someone rates the person

Anyway, pretty much all the Arsenal team except Henry and cesc is underrated by the British media

Un underrated VI maybe (midfield and forwards) but the defence are shit.
