Like the other thread...
/threadCarrick.
I named him in the overrated threadCarrick.
I've had too many Liverpool fans try to convince me multiple times that he was a God of a footballer who was superior to Scholes, Lamps and even their beloved Gerrard, so I refuse to consider him for this!I always used to think Xabi Alonso was somewhat underrated in the Premier League whilst he was at Liverpool... probably because Steven Gerrard was front and centre of everything Liverpool at the time.
A rolls royce player who can pretty much do everything.
Benitez definitely underrated him when he tried to flog him for Gareth fecking Barry.I always used to think Xabi Alonso was somewhat underrated in the Premier League whilst he was at Liverpool... probably because Steven Gerrard was front and centre of everything Liverpool at the time.

Wrong thread buddy!I always used to think Xabi Alonso was somewhat underrated in the Premier League whilst he was at Liverpool... probably because Steven Gerrard was front and centre of everything Liverpool at the time.

Saha had all the attributes to be a great striker yet injuries and consistency infront of goal was his downfall at times.Oh god, I forgot all about that madness
And I echo the sentiments to Louis Saha too. I remember him being very, very good for Fulham and was quite excited when he joined Utd. It's a shame his knees let him down because he was an absolute machine... left foot, right foot, head, pace and strength all wrapped into a human.
I have a uni mate who's an avid WBA fan and season ticket holder, and told me that Saha was one of the best opposing players he's seen in person at the Hawthorns.
Did it really take that long though? He performed brilliantly in his first season with Scholes. After that season his form was very up and down especially at the start of seasons where he would find himself heavily rotated. He was more appreciated as the years got on but his performances improved with his peak possibly being around 2012/13. He wasn’t performing at that level from the moment he signed it was a natural progression. Probably why people think he was underrated. Definitely underrated for the England national team during his whole career though.Carrick, it was ridiculous how many years it took a lot of United fans to come round to him. Was the comparisons to Roy Keane I guess and he Carrick was ahead of his time in terms of how he played the game.
This. Le Tissier was poetry in motion.I agree with both Le Tissier and Carrick.
