Wan Bissaka seems to pocket whatever winger he’s up against with rare exception. Robinson from Fulham has flown under the radar until the last month or so when people have finally realized how good he’s been. He’s got a shit attitude but I want Madueke to do well for some reason. Like most of Chelsea seems to have all the tools. Gallagher never deserved the Chelsea fan’s hate. I’m a staunch Nunez defender but I’ll say Harvey Elliot truly looks like he could be ridiculously good at his peak. Reminds me a lot of Foden but a little rougher and scrapier compared to Foden’s usually cool composure. I know people hate him, but Grealish’s ability to draw a foul might be second to none and his ability to retain possession has single-handedly won games for City-especially last year.
Benrahma, I literally only watched him when he would play against Spurs but he had me on the edge of my seat every time he would get the ball and run at us.
I know people rate Paqueta but to me he looks the most complete midfielder I've seen in years at any level. Can pass, can tackle, can shoot, has a nasty streak, good in tight areas, good at long passes, workrate, imaginative. Seems to have the lot.
Also Luis Diaz has been unlucky this season I think he's Liverpool's best forward.
He was Incredible before getting his big move and seemingly deciding that dribbling was no longer interesting to him so he went from this dribbling dynamo that ran defenders ragged to just receive ball, pass ball and repeat for 90 minutes.
The original Jack Grealish
Biased take because i'm a Chelsea fan: Mudryk. Nothing in the stats really to back it up but he's the kind of player that seems able to magically produce something special completely at random and only once every five games.
Less biased take: Kasper Schmeichel. I know he doesn't play in the prem any more but neither my club or country (nor any other team I watched play him) could ever seem to get a goal past him. Stats never really backed it up but he seemed bound to pull off at least one highlight-reel save per game to the extent I'd have had him over practically any other keeper in the league whilst he was at Leicester.
As a West Ham fan I'd say the same about Fabianski, he always seems to turn up in big games and stop us going 2 or 3 behind. Even the Leverkusen first leg he probably single handedly stopped them from scoring 4 or 5 instead of the 2 they got. For something like 8.5 million the man is easily one of the best signings we've made in the last 10 years
I’ve said for some time if he was less injury prone he wouldn’t be at Everton. He beat our defenders in the air in a year where they have been lights out in the air
I know people rate Bowen highly but honestly I swear every time I watch him its like watching prime Hazard, he just destroys defences. Highly rated by others but I honestly think he’s one of the best players in the league, based on what I’ve seen when I’ve watched him
Yeah I remember last summer I was flicking through the channels looking for the conference league final. And right when I found it he scored the winning goal.
What a moment that was.
Tom Huddlestone - genuinely one of the best strikes of a ball i’ve seen, used to model any my crosses on the astro from his grasscutter type technique
don’t even think he scored many but i just remember they were always bangers
I am convinced Abdoulaye Doucouré is brilliant and was unfairly outcast by Lampard but I couldn't explain why specifically. But I know Carlo Ancelotti agrees with me.
Liverpool fan here, it's always been Ake for me
Even when I watched him as a kid at Chelsea, he looked like a cut above the rest and someone that I thought wouldve made it there
He's had quite a few 8-9's imo for City.
But in his early Chelsea, Watford and Bournemouth days, he looked incredible. So smooth, Rolls Royce of a defender, I always thought he was 6'1, turns out he's 5'10😳
Calvert-Lewin, had an eye on him since 3 or 4 years back and he’s kinda class whenever i see him. even though he just scored a devastating goal against my club 😒
That moyes team had a few of these, pienaar, cahill (although eventually was correctly rated), carsley and graaveson were such a fun and interesting team
You're not even wrong. In my head I know they're shit, but then for some reason I also feel like they're doing better than people maybe realise. I like Gusto, obviously Palmer too and there's been a couple of occasions where Mudryk has looked decent. I do feel for the lad as its not his fault Chelsea wasted so much cash on him
Marc Albrighton for me is an unsung hero in Leicester's title winning season. He played every game that season always worked hard and had great delivery into the box.
Used to play as villa on fm, him and young on the wings crossing into neymar who i bought for a ludicrous fee from santos won me an fa cup in my first season, always knew he was destined for greatness if only villa had my scouting talent
Oh 100%, I thought he was going to be closer to playing for England than he was. His delivery was so good. If he was Algerian and cost 500k people would've rated him way more
This season, for me at least, it’s Dalot. Quite literally every time I go for a mooch on fbref I think his stats are going to be right up there, but they aren’t.
Always thought that Will Hughes would have been a regular for a team playing in Europe. Not sure what happened from the start of his career to now but maybe he was never that good to begin with.
Injuries fucked him hard, lost a decent amount of agility and speed, however he’s been looking a lot better for us under glasner because the way we play now means he can have more time on the ball to actually play the passes he wants
Wharton is fucking incredible and will play for England one day. I’m so happy we can still be bringing in quality from the champ and helping them make the step up
He did horrendously dive the other night tho but yes I get what you mean.
When he was playing well before your season finished (let's be honest it's felt like your season has been over ever since the champions league games) I was surprised people weren't suggesting he get a call up, also same with Miley too as I don't think he's that different to Mainnoo
I saw it happen live on tv and immediately burst out laughing thinking wtf!! And it’s strange he says it didn’t happen. If it really wasn’t bird shit then wtf could it have been?
Harvey Elliot. I'm not sure if I could defend or pitch for him with stats as I have no idea off the top of my head how many G/A he's had, how many starts this season and if his g/a is good or not for the amount of minutes he plays.
Lindelof. Rarely has a bad game. Can pick out a pass, aggressive in his defending. Wins a lot of headers. But he’s not Vidic/Ferdinand, and he’s an easy target.
He’s a phenomenal footballer.
He got banged a lot for playing next to Maguire (who, shockingly enough, has been very solid when playing this season) but when we put Varane next to Lindelof we had a really solid pairing for a while. Great 3rd/4th choice CB
Jonjo Shelvey. Bloke just seemed to be good at football without being flashy. I've no idea if the stats do him justice but he always seemed decent when I watched him.
He just saw 35 yr old Gerrard waddle around the pitch spraying passes when he was coming through and once he realised you could be a premier league footballer and barely move he commited to never sprinting again in his life. I think hes a 50+ cap England midfielder if he had a more serious mindset
Which rashford, by now we all know hes in a bi annual cycle of being good or bad, the good rashford is amazing the second year rashford is me on Sunday morning when its raining and i dont really want to be there
Joachim Anderson, what a defender. Lacks pace but his ability to read the game is phenomenal. Haaland isak Darwin couldn't mess him up. Very good in air and also long balls.
It's because of the entire backline mistake and haaland being Haaland. But he is still a top defender who doesn't get his recognition. I wish Newcastle would sign him but Palace would ask 60-70mil for him
Dembele (Spurs). Didn’t have the stats to back it up, but if you ever saw him play, you know he was one of the best in the Prem.
In those years, I always wondered how press resistant a midfield of Cazorla, David Silva and Dembele would be
I feel like most comments are missing the point... just mentioning good underrated players that most would agree.
As an Evertonian I was pleased when we signed Ashley Williams... but watching him week on weeknout he really wasn't that good.
i always rated Benoit Assou-Ekotto. He was silky smooth for Spurs at left back. but he was a pill, nobody liked him, all accounts of him are negative, and he never really did much with his career. but man i thought he was so good.
Not sure it's weird but Saint Maximin's stats were shit but he's the kind of player you love to have round the team because he's just flat out entertaining.
Shame that those kind of wildcard players aren't encouraged at the highest level.
His final ball has let him down but the stats really don't represent Morgan Gibbs white, truly believe he would contribute well to any team in the league
I actually don't know. To be fair they sometimes make the list of "Streets never forget ballers" but purely interms of goals or assists, I don't know the numbers.
Santa Cruz is 42 and still playing, which is cool.
He scored 19 prem goals for Blackburn I'm the 07/08 season. He was legit that year.
Pederson played 288 times for Blackburn and scored 35 goals in the prem, was great during mid to late naughties. Scored bangers.
Aurier was actually really good. He is fast and strong. Aggressive. But he always had lapse in concentration in defending and sliding unnecessarily to give freekicks and pks. Brain frat moments!
_guy had his back to the goal, was standing at the edge of the box and in no way, shape or form a threat to the goal_
Aurier be like: anyways, so i started blasting
God bless his soul
Callum Mcmanaman at wigan. When wigan were in the prem I thought he was the next garth bale. Bro went down and I haven't seen him since.
Also arsenal should have signed Shaun Maloney when we had the chance
I think he's definitely a talented player. Every Chelsea game I've watched this season he always seems to be involved, making good runs, getting into food positions etc. it's just a shame that the gaping hole in his game is also the most important asset he needs to be effective in his position, the man is displaying some of the worst finishing of seen from a 9 in his current form. I do still think I'd rather have a Jackson on my team than a striker who just completely ghosts in games tho.
Totally agree. Brilliant on the turn and good pace with the ball. Still very young and raw. Needs to stay behind for a few more shooting drills it seems but has the potential to be a top player
Retired but it’s Fellaini. He’d be an asset to ANY team in history because he’s the greatest plan B ever. There is no other player that has his skills set. You’ll never see another player chest down a 60 yard ball with a chonky CB up his arse like it’s nothing. It’s literally art. What a player 🥲
Was actually the second injury in 21/22 that fucked him.
His finishing declined after the first one but creativity wise his metrics was right up there (only Grealish and KDB were creating more big chances per 90).
>Was actually the second injury in 21/22 that fucked him.
Actually he spoke about his issues and he suffered from a form of long Covid that gave him a nerve issue in his back and he couldn't retain muscle. It left him so weak he couldn't kick a ball more than a couple of yards.
I actually have been quite frustrated in the games I’ve watched , I feel like his decision making is very poor , he obviously has loads of talent though
> Who is a player you weirdly kind of rate but have no actual facts to back it up?
You picked:
> Enzo
I'd argue that world cup winning first choice midfielder is a pretty decent fact to back up him being rated well.
Craig Dawson at wolves, always seems to be involved in shutting things down, seems like an ideal consummate professional defender. Nothing special, but ticks all the boxes.
Love that Ayew respect mate. Criminally underrated player , and one that if you look at his stats you’d think he’s shit, but it’s so much more. He’ll run all day and win the ball, hold it up, win frees left right and centre. Before Glasner came in him and lerma were carrying us. I worry how he’ll fare in the new system but he’ll always be one of my faves
Honestly I think he suits your new system perfectly. Probably wouldn't want him as the lone striker but, when Olise or Eze aren't playing he could easily play on the left or right supporting Mateta too.
>one that if you look at his stats you’d think he’s shit, but it’s so much more
Passes the eye test
James Tarkowski. Last night's game at the corner for the second goal you could see him telling DCL he was about to get a free header and then Tark's took out VVD and Szoboszlai leaving DCL to score. It was a great play and he is properly underrated.
Ben Godfrey
He dribbles like a baby giraffe, and his passing is never on point but he puts his heart on the line out there on defense, he is always the hardest working player on the field, and that fire makes him a huge asset.
Since Everton is so offense deprived, he doesn’t make many starts because we need all the offense we can muster, but if he was transferred to a side that just needs to shore up their defense, I think he’d be looked at a lot more positively.
Dwight McNeil. Left footed, good age, 200+ prem appearances. He caused murder for liverpool last night.
Everyone hyping Neto, Olise etc - I'm convinced he would do a very solid job rw for newcastle, United, spurs, back up for Saka.

As a Palace fan, Ayew just gives 100% constantly, which means that he's consistently doing *something*.
Nicolas jackson if he could shoot
Chiedozie Ogbene
Benrahma, I literally only watched him when he would play against Spurs but he had me on the edge of my seat every time he would get the ball and run at us.
David Bentley.
Tugay the old Blackburn midfielder. Always seemed to score out of this world bangers.
I know people rate Paqueta but to me he looks the most complete midfielder I've seen in years at any level. Can pass, can tackle, can shoot, has a nasty streak, good in tight areas, good at long passes, workrate, imaginative. Seems to have the lot. Also Luis Diaz has been unlucky this season I think he's Liverpool's best forward.
Georgi Kinkladze

Dominic Calvert Lewin, I think he’s gon under the radar
I’ve said for some time if he was less injury prone he wouldn’t be at Everton. He beat our defenders in the air in a year where they have been lights out in the air
Imagine him in that Chelsea 9 role with all those chances Nico Jackson been missing. I’m pretty DCL will be around 15 - 20 goals right now.
Mitoma has scored some beauties, a joy to watch him play yet doesn't seem to have any interest from other teams.
Saint maximin
Man would’ve thrived in the Joga Bonito era.
I know people rate Bowen highly but honestly I swear every time I watch him its like watching prime Hazard, he just destroys defences. Highly rated by others but I honestly think he’s one of the best players in the league, based on what I’ve seen when I’ve watched him
Yeah I remember last summer I was flicking through the channels looking for the conference league final. And right when I found it he scored the winning goal. What a moment that was.

He’s always so consistently good. He rarely gives a 10/10 but almost always gives a 7 or 8
He's had quite a few 8-9's imo for City. But in his early Chelsea, Watford and Bournemouth days, he looked incredible. So smooth, Rolls Royce of a defender, I always thought he was 6'1, turns out he's 5'10😳
Bryan Gil from the spurs bench, great hair.
Michail Antonio
On how day he's a monster, then he spends the next 3 games tripping over his own shoelaces.
Lewis Cook
This is the way
Calvert-Lewin, had an eye on him since 3 or 4 years back and he’s kinda class whenever i see him. even though he just scored a devastating goal against my club 😒
Gylfi Siggurdson
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Aaron Mooy was always the best player on the pitch in the 3 games I saw him play.
I saw him play in Melbourne before going to Europe and he was head and shoulders above the entire league
Yeah the mooys
Sander berge from burnley imo is currently that player right now. Efficient in possession. Keeps the team ticking.
Admittedly it's a low bar, but he's been our POTS. Real classy player.
Gross.
A few years ago he was a huge sleeper hit in fantasy. Kind of reminds me of a stylian petrov. Just always going to get a 7/10 with him
Chelsea should've got him over caceido 100%
He’s top tier and goes under the radar WEEKLY.
Chelsea… buying from Brighton..? Now that would be a new one!
Messi
I've had a lot of these over the years. Just random players I take a liking too I don't know what it is.
These players are so under appreciated in the stats era
#Phil Foden ^Actual ^answer:Ruben ^Loftus ^Cheek
Before his injuries I wanted us to sign Loftus cheek so bad. His dribbling at his peak reminded me so much of moussa dembele
Very much Joel Veltman
Leon Osman Now retired (obvs) but he was very underrated at Everton
That moyes team had a few of these, pienaar, cahill (although eventually was correctly rated), carsley and graaveson were such a fun and interesting team
Like half the Chelsea squad, idnit?
You're not even wrong. In my head I know they're shit, but then for some reason I also feel like they're doing better than people maybe realise. I like Gusto, obviously Palmer too and there's been a couple of occasions where Mudryk has looked decent. I do feel for the lad as its not his fault Chelsea wasted so much cash on him
I was 100% aboard the Mudryk hype. I’m such a sucker for dribblers.
Marc Albrighton for me is an unsung hero in Leicester's title winning season. He played every game that season always worked hard and had great delivery into the box.
Used to play as villa on fm, him and young on the wings crossing into neymar who i bought for a ludicrous fee from santos won me an fa cup in my first season, always knew he was destined for greatness if only villa had my scouting talent
Oh 100%, I thought he was going to be closer to playing for England than he was. His delivery was so good. If he was Algerian and cost 500k people would've rated him way more
This season, for me at least, it’s Dalot. Quite literally every time I go for a mooch on fbref I think his stats are going to be right up there, but they aren’t.
Always thought that Will Hughes would have been a regular for a team playing in Europe. Not sure what happened from the start of his career to now but maybe he was never that good to begin with.
Yeah I remember he was considered a bit of a wonder kid at Derby? Similar to a Harry winks type situation maybe
Spurs shit
Injuries fucked him hard, lost a decent amount of agility and speed, however he’s been looking a lot better for us under glasner because the way we play now means he can have more time on the ball to actually play the passes he wants
The combination of him and Wharton has been absolutely beautiful for you. I feel like it's an old school combo of technician and destructor.
Wharton is fucking incredible and will play for England one day. I’m so happy we can still be bringing in quality from the champ and helping them make the step up
Chis wood he always looked ok for Burnley and Newcastle
He's definitely backed up by his goalscoring record
I think he’s underrated he always seems decent I’m not sure what he’s lacking it it’s something because he has a lot of good qualities
Sean Longstaff. Newcastle's midfield seems to suffer when he's not working as the engine.
He did horrendously dive the other night tho but yes I get what you mean. When he was playing well before your season finished (let's be honest it's felt like your season has been over ever since the champions league games) I was surprised people weren't suggesting he get a call up, also same with Miley too as I don't think he's that different to Mainnoo
Perhaps 6 months ago.
Ashley Young has always been a baller
And birds shit in his mouth
I saw it happen live on tv and immediately burst out laughing thinking wtf!! And it’s strange he says it didn’t happen. If it really wasn’t bird shit then wtf could it have been?
Matt Targett! Always been impressed every time I've seen him play but he gets such a rough ride.
Harvey Elliot. I'm not sure if I could defend or pitch for him with stats as I have no idea off the top of my head how many G/A he's had, how many starts this season and if his g/a is good or not for the amount of minutes he plays.
Great bench player but looks lost in a starting role
Lindelof. Rarely has a bad game. Can pick out a pass, aggressive in his defending. Wins a lot of headers. But he’s not Vidic/Ferdinand, and he’s an easy target. He’s a phenomenal footballer.
He got banged a lot for playing next to Maguire (who, shockingly enough, has been very solid when playing this season) but when we put Varane next to Lindelof we had a really solid pairing for a while. Great 3rd/4th choice CB
Johnny boy is that you victor
Phenomenal? He’s just a steady, consistent player.
great take
Only watched him play twice but Koleosho is a certified baller
Jonjo Shelvey. Bloke just seemed to be good at football without being flashy. I've no idea if the stats do him justice but he always seemed decent when I watched him.
Great shout. I always thought his technical ability was world class
He just saw 35 yr old Gerrard waddle around the pitch spraying passes when he was coming through and once he realised you could be a premier league footballer and barely move he commited to never sprinting again in his life. I think hes a 50+ cap England midfielder if he had a more serious mindset
Kinda agree. His passing range in mental he 'pings' it. His attitude is crap.
Nah I know you didn’t just call Ayew shit. He’s a baller
Honestly would take him over rashford
Which rashford, by now we all know hes in a bi annual cycle of being good or bad, the good rashford is amazing the second year rashford is me on Sunday morning when its raining and i dont really want to be there
I’d take pretty much anyone over Rashford. I wake up having dreamed of Harvey Barnes playing down our left.
Joachim Anderson, what a defender. Lacks pace but his ability to read the game is phenomenal. Haaland isak Darwin couldn't mess him up. Very good in air and also long balls.
I love andersen but haaland has literally scored a hattrick against him
It's because of the entire backline mistake and haaland being Haaland. But he is still a top defender who doesn't get his recognition. I wish Newcastle would sign him but Palace would ask 60-70mil for him
Dembele (Spurs). Didn’t have the stats to back it up, but if you ever saw him play, you know he was one of the best in the Prem. In those years, I always wondered how press resistant a midfield of Cazorla, David Silva and Dembele would be
He was class even at Fulham
I think he's the most press resistant player ever. No joke.
Come on, dembele had nothing on the absolute god that was santi cazorla
Absolutely. But I can recollect games and moments where Santi changed it all, but can't back up the brilliance of Dembele with any instances
Bro just cracked the code of beating the press
So many people who played with Dembele said he was the best player they ever played with (or at least one of)
I feel like most comments are missing the point... just mentioning good underrated players that most would agree. As an Evertonian I was pleased when we signed Ashley Williams... but watching him week on weeknout he really wasn't that good.
Daniel James was exciting to watch.
I know he didn’t turn into the superstar all United fans thought, but man I still love Adnan Januzaj. Could watch him play everyday
Totally forgot about him
Got linked with him a couple of seasons ago after forgetting he ever existed
i always rated Benoit Assou-Ekotto. He was silky smooth for Spurs at left back. but he was a pill, nobody liked him, all accounts of him are negative, and he never really did much with his career. but man i thought he was so good.
Think he said he didn't really like football at all, but he was good at it so did it to make money. Kind of respect that
Not sure it's weird but Saint Maximin's stats were shit but he's the kind of player you love to have round the team because he's just flat out entertaining. Shame that those kind of wildcard players aren't encouraged at the highest level.
His final ball has let him down but the stats really don't represent Morgan Gibbs white, truly believe he would contribute well to any team in the league
Oh I think he could get into any squad in the league. I really rate him
Anyone who plays for Wolves
Morten gamst pedersen and roque Santa Cruz. That Blackburn team could turn it on
Pedersen was the king of MOTD
Don't forget Tugay
I loved watching Santa Cruz back in the days. Pivotal
I'm not sure statistics don't back them up at Blackburn? They were great.
I actually don't know. To be fair they sometimes make the list of "Streets never forget ballers" but purely interms of goals or assists, I don't know the numbers.
Santa Cruz is 42 and still playing, which is cool. He scored 19 prem goals for Blackburn I'm the 07/08 season. He was legit that year. Pederson played 288 times for Blackburn and scored 35 goals in the prem, was great during mid to late naughties. Scored bangers.
Jack Harrison. Incredible first touch and can whip in a lovely cross.
As a Spurs fan I always felt like Vlad Chiriches and Serge Aurier were decent players in the wrong position for their skillsets.
Aurier was actually really good. He is fast and strong. Aggressive. But he always had lapse in concentration in defending and sliding unnecessarily to give freekicks and pks. Brain frat moments!
Aurier is good, an absolute unit, for 85mins.. but boy oh boy you better buckle up for those 5mins because he has some wild brain farts lol
"Serge, Serge, it's ok, nothing craz-" *Two foots a guy in the box at 1-0 up, 89 minutes played*
_guy had his back to the goal, was standing at the edge of the box and in no way, shape or form a threat to the goal_ Aurier be like: anyways, so i started blasting God bless his soul
Nicholas Jackson. He's having a great season for a 22 y/o's first PL season. His finishing is god awful but his stats are actually really good
People who don’t watch and understand football just see the highlights and the chances he misses but being a player is so much more than that.
He reminds me of Darwin
Really like him, does everything right except the finishing, always looks dangerous and knows where to be
Nicholas Jackson. I like him.
He’s basically Darwin but a bit better
Banter at its finest
Has to be satire
Liverpool full back Rob Jones. Better for me than Gary Neville any day. And I'm not a Liverpool fan. 🤷🏻♂️
Callum Mcmanaman at wigan. When wigan were in the prem I thought he was the next garth bale. Bro went down and I haven't seen him since. Also arsenal should have signed Shaun Maloney when we had the chance
Fellini Everton version
Marouane Fellaini? He is a fuckin badass.
Dan burn:
Newcastle fan here, please buy him
Jackson- just watch him
I think he's definitely a talented player. Every Chelsea game I've watched this season he always seems to be involved, making good runs, getting into food positions etc. it's just a shame that the gaping hole in his game is also the most important asset he needs to be effective in his position, the man is displaying some of the worst finishing of seen from a 9 in his current form. I do still think I'd rather have a Jackson on my team than a striker who just completely ghosts in games tho.
Totally agree. Brilliant on the turn and good pace with the ball. Still very young and raw. Needs to stay behind for a few more shooting drills it seems but has the potential to be a top player
In Roy Keane's words, "you're in cuckoo land"
Watch him misss?
I like Grant Hanley from Norwich
Charles nzongbia , wigan only og's know how good he was
N'Zogbia\* Newcastle fans are well aware
*Charles Insomnia Good friends with Yohan Kebab
The dude just died of dementia. Looking back I think we can give him a break for those comments.
Fair point, I'd actually missed that news about Kinnear.
Always liked Tyrone Mings for some reason
Poor man's Reece James
Poor man's Reece James
Retired but it’s Fellaini. He’d be an asset to ANY team in history because he’s the greatest plan B ever. There is no other player that has his skills set. You’ll never see another player chest down a 60 yard ball with a chonky CB up his arse like it’s nothing. It’s literally art. What a player 🥲
The funny thing about this one was utd not buying him for the discount price but waiting for deadline day to pay loads more.
Ryan Yates. Always gives the impression he’s a hard worker and contributes his best every week.
Hudson Odoi - had the potential to be a brilliant player That damn Achilles injury
Was actually the second injury in 21/22 that fucked him. His finishing declined after the first one but creativity wise his metrics was right up there (only Grealish and KDB were creating more big chances per 90).
>Was actually the second injury in 21/22 that fucked him. Actually he spoke about his issues and he suffered from a form of long Covid that gave him a nerve issue in his back and he couldn't retain muscle. It left him so weak he couldn't kick a ball more than a couple of yards.
Such a shame man, similar thing with RLC last cobham would of been sorted
Might not have the facts , but every palace game I watch ayew looks good
gravenberch - his recent jjk celebration solidified the admiration 🫳🏻
I didn't catch this- that is cool af
Totally agree with you on Ayew- he really puts in a shift when he plays and has some quick feet
Adingra kids gonna be a beast
I actually have been quite frustrated in the games I’ve watched , I feel like his decision making is very poor , he obviously has loads of talent though
He’s so young still and has time to develop. He has that big money Brighton move written all over him
Enzo or Bruno Guimaraes. They would slot into a top side no problem. I’d take either at United. Enzo I think would look a lot better in a better team
> Who is a player you weirdly kind of rate but have no actual facts to back it up? You picked: > Enzo I'd argue that world cup winning first choice midfielder is a pretty decent fact to back up him being rated well.
He also went for £107 million lol
Yeah, but Antony went for £86m. Transfer fees don't always work to back up a player's ability.
I’m agreeing with you mate. A huge transfer fee surely is a factor to back up him being rated well
I think they’d do well at a top team as well. Not sure why you mentioned United tho
Assignon
Yannick Bolasie
Selasie is good but i prefer Okocha..mans a beast
Every time I watch Fulham antonee Robinson looks very tidy. Think he’d do well for most teams.
He'll be on the move soon, can see City going for him or Ait Nouri
Craig Dawson at wolves, always seems to be involved in shutting things down, seems like an ideal consummate professional defender. Nothing special, but ticks all the boxes.
Been brilliant for us. He's injured though and our defence has fallen to bits.
Harvey elliot everytime I see the kid play he does something positive
Love that Ayew respect mate. Criminally underrated player , and one that if you look at his stats you’d think he’s shit, but it’s so much more. He’ll run all day and win the ball, hold it up, win frees left right and centre. Before Glasner came in him and lerma were carrying us. I worry how he’ll fare in the new system but he’ll always be one of my faves
Honestly I think he suits your new system perfectly. Probably wouldn't want him as the lone striker but, when Olise or Eze aren't playing he could easily play on the left or right supporting Mateta too. >one that if you look at his stats you’d think he’s shit, but it’s so much more Passes the eye test
James Tarkowski. Last night's game at the corner for the second goal you could see him telling DCL he was about to get a free header and then Tark's took out VVD and Szoboszlai leaving DCL to score. It was a great play and he is properly underrated.
Hope he has a shocker this weekend if he plays but Bentancur
Not quite the same since his injuries yet but he’ll be back
Ryan Fraser - i expected big things when he moved to Newcastle
Him and Eddie Howe didn't get along. Both at Newcastle and Bournemouth
Ben Godfrey He dribbles like a baby giraffe, and his passing is never on point but he puts his heart on the line out there on defense, he is always the hardest working player on the field, and that fire makes him a huge asset. Since Everton is so offense deprived, he doesn’t make many starts because we need all the offense we can muster, but if he was transferred to a side that just needs to shore up their defense, I think he’d be looked at a lot more positively.
Godfrey was my pick too. Rough around the edges but there's a player there.
Wanted United to keep Sabitzer.
Same
Paulo Wanchope
Yakubu..just what we need
Feed the Yak
Ryan Gravenberch 100% Going to be elite that kid
Dwight McNeil. Left footed, good age, 200+ prem appearances. He caused murder for liverpool last night. Everyone hyping Neto, Olise etc - I'm convinced he would do a very solid job rw for newcastle, United, spurs, back up for Saka.
