7 underrated players in the top 7 teams in the Premier League

Jordan Henderson – Liverpool

Jordan Henderson

SAS known as Suarez and Sturridge were all over the news papers since the beginning of the season for the incredible understanding, flair and talent they demonstrated on the football field. Suarez, rightfully earned the tag as the best player in the EPL.Steven Gerrard once again proved why he has been the inspirational commander of the reds for so many years.

But there was one player, who was quiet since the beginning. He always worked hard and played where his manager wanted him to play without a shadow of a doubt. He has got a very good engine. He can run a whole day. He is always spirited, strong and industrious on the field. He always covers more ground than his teammates.

He can mark and pressurize the opposition play-makers for 90 minutes if given the task. He has utilized his work-rate to take his game to another level and following stats prove why he has been the tireless underachiever of Liverpool this season.

Steven Piennar – Everton

Steven Pienaar

Many may argue with me saying Gareth Barry or even MacCarthy should be in this list and yes they are right after seeing them flourish in Roberto Martinez’s system.

But, when I observe Steven Piennar and his performances in the blue shirt, he always puts his 100%. He always tries to play 1-2′s around the edge of the box.He creates the space on the left flank for Baines to roam up and down by cutting in from the left. He even has a very good vision to pick a defence splitting pass. Following stats prove the significance of this African born winger.
