Overrated and underrated have become so underrated as terms, I actually think that posts overrating and underrating players don’t get the credit they deserve.

That will all change of course as we start seeing more and more people claiming that overrated and underrated are underrated and as a result people start overrating overrated and underrated.

In any case, this whole discussion around overrating and underrating and whether overrated and underrated are overrated or underrated is overrated IMO.

Average comment.

Unrated.

A vacillating irresolute comment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I disagree 🤑🤑🤑🤑

I've heard of players so "underrated", that they become horribly overrated. Just look at Ramires, a pretty decent to average footballer, who was sometimes wildly praised despite being extremely flawed.

I must of missed this during my near decade of being on this siteand 100s of games I went to where ramires played.

I heard this more from opposition fans

good lord...what a complete sharticle this is...

Ramires was never in my memory overrated...he was rated most weeks as not much use in general, with the odd bit of brilliance thrown in to confuse us

Scholes...under rated...not by Utd fans he wasn't

were you bored OP

Don't be so triggered!

Honestly, if you do not like my examples then have a read of the comments made by BK. He puts forward some good examples

So you don't think there isn't a constant conversation on whether Scholes is "overrated", or "underated"?

And come on, Ramires was often labeled as a underrated player.

I would say Willian is a good example of this, at the start people would focus more on what he couldn't do as opposed to could, now it's gone well too far the other way, especially with the pundits who seem to think he's not far of Eden.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye, Willian’s a great example. People look at an obvious attribute, in this case pace, and say that’s all he has, despite evidence that his close control and dribbling abilities are excellent.

The amount of times he collects the ball halfway inside his own half and drives into the opponents half with the ball at his feet is really impressive.

Yes you need pace to do that but the composure to control, turn then the ability to keep the ball close to you, while under pressure, shows more skillsets than “just pace” IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's naturally gifted (which probably gives people who don't watch him regularly the aura that he's better than he is) and he's a good ball carrier but his decision making in the final 3rd badly lets him down. Plus he's a rubbish set piece taker.

funny thing with willian is we hear about this supposed pace, but hardly, if ever, see it. His dribbling and close control as well as ball retention are much stronger attributes of his.

Infact he slows the play down way too much
