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?
He has been playing regularly in the Premier League for how many years now? Its not his first season in the top flight and he is not playing for a side who have only recently got promoted. He might not be operating in the Champions League, or on the international stage, but he is not playing in the National League or lower down in the EFL.
