Saw that post about Reece James earlier. I’ve been seeing people call Messi or Ronaldo overrated after 1 game where they don’t score for years. Neymar played some amazing games for PSG but people assumed he declined due to being in Ligue 1. I see it so many times on this Sub and the wider community where people declare someone over or underrated after one game.

When they have clearly only watched 1 or 2 games of them. It annoys me when people make lazy comparisons or say that someone isn’t good when they don’t account for a player’s situation.

    The terms overrated and underrated are over used, and are so vague they are almost pointless.

    A lot of people weren’t saying he wasn’t a great player at all. But his injuries do play a big part because he hardly plays. Isnt there a saying that goes “availability is the best ability”?

    You’re comparing generational talents who have won it all to Reece James, come on.
