Five most underrated players in the English Premier League

3- Shane Long

Though Carrick is underrated he still has an advantage of being a “Manchester United” player, and that’s a luxury that West Brom’s Shane Long find elusive. Long, who was a second choice for most of the time last season, terrorized defenders with his pace and physical presence whenever he was given a chance to gaze the pitch. With one of the most impressive work rates in the league, the Irishman has proved to be a team player that ever team would wish to have. He was linked with a move to Liverpool a couple of years back, since then this talent has been pushed back into the underrated section despite producing blistering performances against high profile oppositions. At an age of 26 there is still a lot left that could be explored by the team from this expendable.
