I thought his goal vs Everton for Arsenal was better. Similar pass and volley but a wider angle.

His volley against Charlton for Arsenal was his best goal, ridiculous technique.

Lads honestly I’d say half of you have never kicked a ball in your lives if you’re calling 90% of the goals mentioned over rated.

Zidane’s volley was simply incredible and is up there with the best I’ve ever seen.

Beckham vs Wimbledon was a ridiculous goal. He was 20 and playing under Ferguson and he had the balls to try that. Ferguson would have eaten the balls off him if it dropped short or ended up in the stand. The technique of that strike is brilliant and I can’t have it that it’s overrated.

Shearer’s volley (Was it against Everton?)

Someone mentioned Cantona’s chip against Sunderland, have to disagree. Sheer brilliance made even more famous for the celebration.

Alot of Puskas winners/nominations are severely overrated

The easiest way to identify whether a goal is overrated or not is think to yourself how many of those goals do you repeated? Once a week? Once a month? Once a season?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen another player hit a ball as sweetly as Shearer’s goal against Everton. Perhaps Rooney against Newcastle a couple of years later but I still think Shearer’s was better. I can’t remember a similar goal like it since. An unbelievable goal.

Same with Zidane in 2002. 

Cantona’s goal was brilliant but yeah it’s more likely to be remembered for the celebration than the actual goal. There have been plenty similar goals scored in the league since.

Top 3 NOT over rated goals in the Premier League for me:

1) Shearer volley vs Everton 

2) Henry vs Man Utd at highbury (the flick and swivel outside the box)

3) Rooney volley vs Newcastle

Fully agree, I love that goal. I'd put it up there with the very best in PL history, perfect connection at a very difficult height.

Clearly the best goal ever scored in the Premier League is John Barnes versus Blackburn at Ewood Park in October 1994

Did he ever just score a 2-yard tap-in? Just about every goal that lad scored seemed to be a worldie. LOLClap

I still have no idea why Eboue crossed the ball in when he did, there were no Arsenal players near the box at the time, makes the technique involved all the more impressive.

Always thought that Rooneys overhead against City was overrated
Great timing and an important goal, but he shinned it in

I'd put the goal against Newcastle number one. The 2 he got that day could be top 5. Actually think the one against Blackburn is overrated slightly. Still show my class every year a compilation of his best goals. They be in awe!

Had a video as a kid of every goal he scored up till 1996. Watched it on a daily basis. Unreal. Hes the reason I follow Southampton

It’s the way he beats the two men against Blackburn, he is barely walking and he turns them inside out.

always thought Le tissier was better than Gascoigne and England would of had a better record  if he had been their main man
 
Fair play to his loyality but the flip side maybe was lack of ambition/drive

One of the strangest decisions was Hoddle, of all people, ignoring him for England!
I wonder will we ever see a player like him again due to the systematic nature of the game now.

One of the readers comments after that article.No idea if it was true or the reasons behind it.

mash, Southampton, United Kingdom, 2 years ago

The only flaw in that argument is that neither of the two names you mention were selected to go to Fance in 98. It was nothing short of ridiculous that Le Tiss didn't get selected for that tournament. This more a reflection on Hoddle's personal grudge against him than anything else.
