I think Mark Noble is a pretty good player but not much is ever said about him.
James McFadden has shown how good he can be at Brum recently.
Cahill is underrated, as good as Lampard any day.
I think Carragher is overrated, a good CB but just built up cos of scouse loving media

I'll stick with three and try to be controversial. :wink:
OVER-RATED
Andrea Pirlo
Is seen in this country as some sort of maestro. Week in, week out in Serie A, is anything but. Is only 28, but plays like he's 38. Good player, but not as good as many think.
John Terry
A good defender. A great defender? Not at all. Is whole-hearted but when he's up against good opposition he looks clumsy.
Aaron Lennon
Can't shoot, can't cross. He's a bloody winger!
UNDER-RATED
Ledley King
Of course I'm biased, but for me he's the best centre-half in world football. His only flaw is his heading, but even that is much improved. Been said about Carrick on here (I agree with that too) but if King were Italian he'd be talked about as one of the greatest of all time.
Cristiano Ronaldo
He is far and away the best player in the world. Kaka is good, but doesn't have the consistent impact that Ronaldo does. Can somebody tell me a weak-point in Ronaldo? T'is a genuine question.
Marco Borriello
Top scorer in Serie A. Can do it all. Scores from 3 yards or 30. Brilliant in the air, exceptional on his own or in a duo. The highlight of what is a poor, poor Serie A season. Is not just another Rolando Bianchi. Still co-owned by AC Milan and is probably the reason why Milan don't need Adebayor (who they're linked with).

Have always said that the only reason that Kaka got the world player of the year award over Ronaldo is because of the champions league semi final, it was basically decided on 2 games
