Who do you think are the Top 5 most underrated players in the Premier League?
I love xhaka but I wouldn't consider him in our top 5 most important players either.
I dont watch Chelsea unless they're playing a team I care about but every time I've seen Mount in an England shirt, I've wanted him subbed off. I just don't see it
As a Liverpool fan I’ve never understood mason mount hate does everyone forget how good he was last season and he still wasn’t rated then
This xhaka disrespect needs to stop.. hes been one of our most important and consistent players particularly under Arteta.
Would absolutely adore JWP at Spurs
Xhaka Shaw trippier JWP mount
Mason mount would be brilliant under klopp his work rate would be perfect for the team alongside Bellingham
He’s been given a lot of praise this season but purely because of the years of disrespect it has to be Xhaka. He’s been class for 3 seasons now but got no praise because of a couple of red cards. He’s been labelled as a brainless thug but in reality he is one of the most intelligent players in the league. The way he’s adapted to a more advanced position this season has been incredible.
Sterling is the most underrated and disrespected player in premier league history
Mount is overrated by certain people and underrated by others, some players are just like that.
I woulda put Gabriel over xhaka
Xhaka is meh imo, a lot of our fan base make him out to be this great player when he’s really not. I don’t see what he offers more than any other midfielder.. he’s got a one season wonder goal in him and is quite aggressive but aside from that, doesn’t really offer much. there are so many more midfielders in the pl that can do what he can do and more.
This wasn’t before 7-0 lol Shaw is crap
Mason Mount is easily the most overrated on the list provided. He doesn't have one single world class element to his game. Take him out the Chelsea team and they don't miss him. Easily replaceable.
1. JWP
2. Shaw
3. Trippier
4. Xhaka
5. Mount
Abbie does not know ball
I think you've got the meaning of under rated a bit mixed up I don't understand how jwp is under rated if you think he should be playing for a top 4 club that's huge praise/rating under rated should be players who don't get the praise for doing the work jwp plays at Southampton for a reason saying trippier is under rated then calling him world class he played for atl madrid won a title lmao xhaka might be the only under rated one there
luke shaw what? bruh this guy is bang average. Always has been.
Ward prowse is hands down the most underrated player on that list (I’m an Arsenal supporter)
Mount is ridiculously overrated… man is crap, he’s championship level at best!!
Xhaka in his proper position put France out of the euro and now that ziny is inverting Xhaka has freedom to play his position and has excelled
Mount is so overrated thank god they finally said it
criminal that Gundogan isn't on this list.
Arsenal fan here, after watching a cup match where xhaka and zinny didnt start, we played poor, and as soon as those 2 came on xhaka set up a goal, it was clear what xhaka brings.
For me xhaka is top 5, id agree with you mate except xhaka over Ben white or partey.
The reality is though, that whole 11 has been great top to bottom so it is hard to pick, but xhaka is in my top 5 for the season so far
Everyone i see them two on camera i wonder if he's clarted 😂
shaw and mount have been overrated to hell, idek how they’re on this list
Thinking mount is overrated should be in the DSM-V
No Man United player is underrated to be fair.
Rory Waffles a lot but says very little
I think it is really hard to say top 5 most important players in arsenal because everyone has important role and it’s hard to distinguish which one is most important.
Xhaka is better than all Spurs and Chelsea's midfielders.
I nearly lost my mind when I heard man talking about people saying "Gerrard, Lampard…" when man said "and Scholes in 1" 🤔 maybe I dont know football as much
if you know football Xhaka is clear and underrated
That's shocking..Xhaka is in top 5..
Actually baffling that trippier is on the list, let alone first 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so many people have said he’s been the best right back in the league this season, this is insane 😂
Top 5 most important arsenal players:
1. Partey
2. Saka
3. Ramsedale
4. Oddegard
5. Zincheko
Trippier is the most overrated player in the league. People think he's the best RB in the league! How can he be underrated?!
Xhaka is now highly rated amongst Arsenal fans
I support arsenal but to say chelsea fans who don’t rate mount are spiteful is a bunch of bs
Xhaka is better than any Spurs midfielder… she just a Arsenal hater
Mount underrated? We play better without him,
Obv Abbie will say no she’s a clown she prob rates hojbjerg and thinks he’s the best
Mount is overrated 😂
Xhaka is underrated
Granit Xhaka has revealed Mikel Arteta convinced him to stay at Arsenal with the midfielder admitting he was 'gone' after being booed off the pitch by fans in 2019.
Mason Mount is the most overrated player on the planet
