Most overrated player of your lifetime


Recommended Posts

For me; David Seaman. The guy was utter mince with numerous catastophic errors and general crap goalkeeping and the odd good save does not change my mind. Made to look good by having a rock solid Arsenal defence infront of him for most of his career, with that defence also playing regular for England.

 

Genuinely perplexed as to how he is thought to have been some wonder keeper? :confused:

 

Not a popular pick i'll wager though.

Have to say I cant agree with Seaman, I thought he was a great keeper.

 

Michael Owen certainly springs to mind, I think he is utter gash but everyone seems to claim he is world class.

 

EDIT: But it could be that boy Ali Dia who Souness signed for Southampton after he got a crank call saying he was George Weah's cousin. He came on the pitch for 10 mins and ran about like a headless chicken then got subbed :fish:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be mine. Can't say I've ever seen him play really well.

 

Seaman was a fantastic keeper. Yes he made some high profile blunders, but he played at the top level for years

 

It was just the high profile one's, it was the cock ups he made that never got reported as such. For example Romania's winner from circa France 98/Euro 2000, where the ball was kicked basically straight at him, as he was falling back it basically shot up his body and over his head. Shcoking goalkeeping, but never reported as such.

 

For a guy who is obviously rated so highly, I just can't see it.

 

I've heard quite a few people mention Zlatan, that's one I can definitely understand alan.

David Seaman was immense. OK, he was average in his last few seasons as a pro but all in all he was pretty much everything you want in a goalkeeper. Every goalkeeper makes mistaken now and again.

 

I've often thought that Edwin van der Sar was overrated. Seems to make more mistakes than your average goalkeeper and I can't remember him making any 'WOW' saves.

 

Another is Puyol. Always runs about like a demented headless chicken and he makes his fair share of fuck ups too.

Heskey must be another who is over rated

 

Most definately, cant believe he even has 1 England cap.

 

Essien for me is another, although he played better towards the end of last season.

 

Cassano also, hasnt impressed me at all since joining Real.
