"Underated XI"

A chance to list the players who you think are highly under rated, in team format, The reject xi, English based please, don't list players like scott parker or James Beattie who are debatably to good for their clubs, List the unacknowledged stars of the english game, Or don't get any acknowledgement because of a nother big player playing a similar position at the club. Danny murphy is a good example, gets ignored a lot by the media because of Stevie Gerrard. The people who deserve headlines but instead get bumped of the page by david Beckhams new haircut. Reject Select i salute you!


Antti Niemi
Franck Quedrue
ugo Ehiogu
Olof Mellberg
Gary Neville
Gareth Barry (VC)
Danny Murphy
Steed Malbranque
Fabrice Fernandes
Tomas Radzinski (Captain of the under rated)
Robbie Fowler

Subs:

Crossley
Olivier Bernard
Matt Oakley
Darius Vassell (but for England, not villa)
Darren Huckerby

franck quedrue will one day find his rightful place alongside pele and maradona in football lore......

Quedrue is a quality player... im sure that time will be testament to this.

err scholes, giggs, other striker...

arsenal manage to do it through good movement. vieira poaches, ljungbergs running in across the face of the goal, aswell as gilberto. pires puts them in.

henry was a winger all the way up to juve, when arsenal bought him. if that helps him gets assists aswell as goals- great. henry still scores loads of goals and he takes a mean freekick.

I disagree, he is good and has received praise.

Ok, fair enough.

Cheers, I needed a laugh.

> Gareth Barry (VC)

Cracking player, not given enough International play. Hello Sven, left wing?

> Danny Murphy

Very good player, but I don't think he is too underated.

> Steed Malbranque
> Fabrice Fernandes

Um, yeah, a little.

> Tomas Radzinski (Captain of the under rated)

Very much so. Doesn't convert all his chances, but a very good player.

> Robbie Fowler

Natural goal scorer, used to be great and highly rated, now, not so much.

Probably because man u have no-one else to score the goals so he must score them all?

K agree with most but not Franck Queerpoo, who is underrated for a reason (well from what I've seen of him). didnt he get sent off 3 games in a row and was terrible in the games i saw. No offence goes out to him or his family by the way. thankyou.

That's because he was originally a winger, in his early days at Monaco, and he isn't usually played as a lone forward. RVN plays to score, that's why he just about always scores from inside the box.
