"Who do u think is a under rated player???"

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER
If you just watch a match in which ole gunnar is playing then i think that it is quite obvious that he totally under rated. The only way that he can actually get a touch of the ball, is if he actually goes all the way back and tackles someone just to go all the way back to a striker position, No one ever feeds him the ball because they all think Van Nistlerooy has a better chance of scoring, which is true if he is on the goal line, but if he even has to a little bit of running then looses the ball, where as Solskjaer has already proved he can keep posession of the ball after spending a small time in David Beckhams position.
What about those amazing shots of his, he just seems to smack the ball right at the keeper but instead of hitting him and rebounding out he just always seems to skim the Keeper and get a goal, magnificent shots. I myself have tried doing this before failing totaly, then again i'm not any where near the skill of Solskjaer, or a baby for that matter.

Francis Jeffers is easily under-rated. He was got 24 apps 12 goals in his two last seasons at Everton- and with a decent strike rate Wenger should at least rotate him with the other forwards. He has showed potential for England (1 cap/ 1 goal), and has just recovered from injury- I see him as underrated, not as just some kid with potential.

Wot i actually said is those players are not used properly. Most don't even get a starting line up every match.

* Alan Smith
* John Arne Riise
* Solskjaer
* Teddy Sheringham
* Wayne Rooney

Those players are not under-rated, as many people would say that they are quality players. If Wayne Rooney was under-rated, he would never of played for England.


An Under-rated player is a player that is quality and doesn't get noticed by:
1. People
2. Press
3. International Duty

Now i know alot of you probably wil disagree with this, but another player who is'nt so much underated as not properly used is Wayne Rooney, the Everton manager's excuse is that he does'nt want him to be in the limelight HELLO he was called up for England, I say he should be played from the start of all matches in his proper place STRIKER.
Theres tons of other footballers who have this problem of not being used properly or in the right position.
*Alan Smith
*John Arne Riise
*Solskjaer
*Teddy Sheringham
Theres tons more

Nash

Marlon Harewood

David Johnson

Dickov

Rise, why he doesn't start every match he is fit for is beyond me.

Paul Dickov.

Muzzy Izzet.

Ian Walker.

Also forgot about Russel Hoult (WBA Goalkeeper).

Solsjkaer is an under rated player you just watch him in a match no one really feeds him the ball he just just left to rome around. He's not played enough, he deserves a proper first team place instead of sub i think he's proved he is good enough, if he's a super sub, imagine him playing a whole match, with other players feeding him the ball more.........GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL etc

Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer used to be under-rated, but I wouldn't say he is now.


These are who I think are under-rated players:

Gareth Barry (Aston Villa)
Scott Parker (Charlton)


There were quite of few players, but I can't remember who they are.
