I can see arguments both ways which is usually a good sign.

Past results only tell part of the story at this level. :)

What has your experience been?

That is the approach I always take now. I always do a test run on something less important before committing to the main job.

Worth doing it properly rather than rushing it.

Momentum is real and it is the thing that is hardest to quantify. :D

Turned out alright in the end doing it that way. Worth doing it properly rather than rushing it

Agree completely, preparation is everything. Once you do something once yourself you always know you can do it again.

Turned out alright when I did it

Couldn't agree more. Could not agree more.

Cheers.

Injuries change the whole calculation and people do not factor them in enough

This one is always going to cause arguments because overrated does not mean bad. A player can be excellent and still get talked about like they are the second coming of football. That is where the debate gets interesting. ;)

For me, Jack Grealish is a name that comes up. Brilliant technically and clearly a talented player, but the hype around him sometimes feels bigger than the output. The price tag and media attention created impossible expectations.

Not sure I can call Grealish overrated. He has a role that is not always measured by goals and assists. Pep Guardiola clearly valued what he brought, even if fans wanted more highlight moments.

Marcus Rashford is probably one of the toughest ones to judge. At his best he looks unstoppable, but the gap between those performances and his quieter spells has been huge. Consistency is what separates good players from elite ones.

A controversial shout: Darwin Nunez. The ability is obvious, the physical tools are ridiculous, but some of the finishing decisions make you wonder how he manages to make simple chances look like a physics experiment. :D

People will probably hate this one, but Bruno Fernandes gets mentioned in these debates. Not because he is poor, but because some fans talk about him as if every match revolves around him. His influence is huge, though.

The biggest problem with judging Premier League players now is social media. One great match and someone is labelled world class, then one bad match and they are suddenly useless. The internet has no patience. ;)
GG no re, rematch in the ring

For me it is more about certain reputations than specific players. Some names stay at the top of the conversation because of old performances, even when newer players are quietly doing more.

Anthony Gordon is interesting. He has improved massively and deserves credit, but sometimes the hype moves faster than the development. Let him keep growing before putting huge labels on him.

KingCurtis27

A player like Kai Havertz divides opinion too much to call overrated. Some people only see the goals, others see the movement and work rate. Football arguments are rarely simple. :)

Violet Dean

One name I would discuss is Antony, mainly because the expectations were enormous after his transfer. There is talent there, but the level expected at that price was always going to create pressure.
I bench press excuses more than actual weights

The funniest thing about this topic is that every club's rival has a different answer. Ask ten fans and you get ten names, usually including the player who scored against them last weekend. ;D
