Right just seen everyones players of the season so far in the other thread. But who you think has been underrated. I'm going for Tiote and Barton

Success is winning championships. It is nothing less than that. And when you win a championship - and we will - success isn't measured or accomplished by winning once.

Elcule will say Jose Enrique. I would like to make a claim for Stuart Holden and Mark Davis - Bolton's two CMs have been absolute quality this year and it's no surprise that the Trotters are flying so high in the table.

Agree with N'Zogbia, i'd like to add PHIL BARDSLEY :D Hero.

And shearer, i'm hearing that Barton is refusing to play for you again because of some contract argument, any truth in it?

No, he has no end product with his crossing, even though his shooting seems to have improved this season. Poor man's Antonio Valencia.

No end product with his crossing? Thats the biggest myth in The Premier League. Maybe a few years back you'd have a point
but his end product is good now and he isn't one dimensional like Valencia so those comparisons are strange.

He's SO one dimensional, just like Valencia, that's why I made the comparison. Beats his man for fun every time down the line, puts in a shit cross. Valenica, beats his man for fun every time, puts in better crosses, hence Lennon poor man's Valencia. I do think Lennon's goal threat has got better this season though, but he still can't cross. How many assists has he got this season?

Lennon cuts inside and runs at the defence before laying it off the Van Der Vaart/Modric more often than he beats his man and puts a cross in. 7 assists this season.

According to the PL stats, he's got 2 assists all season from 25 apps. Obviously he's got some more assists in other comps but I'm sorry, for a top class winger 2 assists in 25 is diabolical.

Last season, he got 10 assists in 22 apps. That's the kind of return he should be getting.

Have you seen Crouch? Every cross he gets he plays down to Van Der Vaart. Its why neither Lennon or Bale have many assists.

I used strong words for effect in my initial claim that Lennon was a poor man's Valencia, but last season Valencia got 9 assists and 5 goals, on a par with Lennon's 10 assists and 3 goals. Valencia's debut season too, as well as Spurs best season for decades. I guess they're similar players.

The reason I had a go at Aaron initially is because I love the way he dances past full backs for fun, but it's just so frustrating to watch when cross after cross goes nowhere near his team mates. What I'm trying to say is that he could be so much better than he is, and I don't think he's underrated, he's rated about right.
