ricardo gardner is a bit shit. he very nearly missed the goal he scored the other day, and seems to horrendously miskick the ball often.

berbatov is quality!

overrated- rooney
underrated- shay given (probably one of if not the best keeper in the prem) just a shame he has had a dogdy back 4 for the past few years.

same goes for craig gordon, great keeper but theres only so much you can do if your back 4 dont turn up.

Nolan, pedersen and kavanagh(?!) are all vastly overated. Nolan and pedesern had one good season, and have been living off it ever since

I think Steven Gerrard is over rated by alot of people.

Good player, top quality dont get me wrong but some people talk him up as the greatest midfield to ever grace the game and he isnt.

If I was picking a Premier 11 of all time he wouldnt make it into the midfield.

Good player, yes. One of the top 10 midfielders to play in the Premiership sure. Top 5, top 3 nope.

He's single handedly saved liverpool so many times (including last night), that for that reason alone he deserves all the club recognition he gets

Lampard, Cole and Ferdinand for me are the most overrated players in the Premier.
Darren Fletcher, what a good shout to those who have put him down as underrated, he rather ever puts a foot wrong, also Hargreaves and Garry Neville (see a Man U link here) are 100% players.

My most underrated player award would go to: Peter Crouch.

He did dive yesterday, but in fairness to get the penalty he did make a great lung busting run to even get near the bloke to dive. And you can't call his constant 20+ yarders for liverpool.

Overrated: Deco
Really? I wasn't convinced before he came over here, but he's looked pretty shit hot since making the move. No trouble adapting to Premier League style play and hectic midfields either.

Kavanagh is an excellent player at the Championship/Lge 1 level and doesn't get the amount of credit he should and everytime we have played against him he has taken us apart.

Nolan and Pedersen, certainly the latter, are the most consistant performers in the Premiership, if you look at their appearances and game stats they are very similar year on year and are important players for their respective clubs and country. Perhaps you think Pedersen only had one good season because he chose to put Gamst on his shirt instead?

How have people listed Palacios as under rated when Man Utd have been publicly sniffing after him? surely that's pretty highly rated?

Over: Lampard, Ferdinand, Rooney
Under: None that I can think, we live in a period in time where most footballers are over hyped so even ths shit ones get rave reviews.  Gone are the days when a Gus Ceasar was a Gus Ceasar, even clubs own fans seem to get dragged into believing the hype these days.
