Zidane - an exceptional talent and technically superb but rarely seemed to dictate a game or really control it's pace.

What ????????????

I have to believe you didn’t watch him play from a comment like that. He absolutely dictated games and controlled the pace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can believe whatever you like but I used to watch a lot of the sky la liga coverage in the early 2000’s and inevitably meant a lot of RM and Barca.

There were a lot of games, and I really do mean a lot of games, where he was on the periphery rather than pulling the strings. He’d inevitably have 1 or 2 moments of absolute quality even when playing poorly but there were a lot of poor games.

Objectively wrong

I dont think Naby is alone in that appraisal tbh.

No, wrong in your opinion. And to be fair there are plenty that share that opinion. Zidane is commonly viewed as a top 5-10 footballer of all time.

But there are also those that believe his reputation is inflated by moments as opposed to the consistent excellence you'd expect to see from others in the top 5-10 category. And let's not forget the types of names in the top 5-10.

To think he's slightly over rated doesn't mean he's in any way a poor footballer, I'm a big fan. There are journalists who write/speak about the subject more articulately than me if you care to seek out an alternative opinion (Michael Cox and Jonathan Wilson).

James Maddison. Neat and tidy but imo Grealish is the better player, and hence is underrated.

Strange choices. Most people underrate hazard citing a lack of goals for that. Lukaku, does anyone even rate him?

Drogba - Good striker but his record but nowhere near the top strikers. 9 times out of 10 Rio and Vidic had him in his back pocket from a united point of view.

Gerrard - Hollywood Stevie would always be looking for the spectacular. Very good player however always thought his Hollywood passes were poor and rarely controlled games. His all action style made him look better than he actually was.

David Seaman - Never saw what was great about him. He had a very solid defence in front of him but I find it laughable when people talk about him even in the top 3 GKs in the premier league era

Lampard - fantastic goal scorer from midfield despite most of his goals been huge deflections. Not sure what else he excelled in on a football pitch mind.

Mesut Ozil - absolute dogsheite. The fact that anyone rates him for me is laughable. I wouldn’t have him at United if he paid the club to play for us.
