Who are the players that are operating at the highest level but seem to offer absolutely nothing in the game?
The one that always comes to mind with me is Will Hughes. He has been an attacking midfielder with both Watford and now Crystal Palace but can anyone pick out a game where he has genuinely stood out? His goals and assists record always appear to be low, can’t remember him doing much in terms of tackling and providing protection for players behind him. He only seems to be one of those snides who generally gets involved with arguements. And this from a player who was touted as being a future English star and linked with a huge transfer to Liverpool and other bigger clubs when he was at Derby.
Who stands out, or rather doesn’t stand out, to you?
Bit harsh on Hughes. He’s a tidy player. Anyone playing in the Prem is there on merit. No space for passengers.
Yeah it always makes me laugh when people are out here calling PL players “bang average”, they’re literally the 1% of the 1%, regardless of which PL team they’re playing for.
