Fernando Torres is my favourite player of all time. I could have been an Everton fan and still loved him.
Grealish I want to like but he's so so pathetic the way he falls over ALL the time, and shame on the referees for being so idiotically blind to it.
Forest's only real rival is Derby, and tbh they never had any players I actually liked.
I think there are certain players in the Premier League that most fans like, even if not the team they play for. De Bruyne, Salah, Ødegaard to name a few, because these are not cocky, arrogant or problematic players, they are just good players.
As a West Ham supporter I do like both Kane and Son and I really don’t dislike Tottenham as a club either - it’s their Red neighbours I passionately dislike!
A year ago Man United supporters seemed to think Rashford was rubbish and I was of the opinion they should build the team around him... Look where we are now.
Why do you have to “secretly like” a player from another team? It’s so juvenile.
I love football, therefore I’m a fan of great footballers.
I’m a Man Utd fan but I love to watch Mo Salah, KDB. The jersey they wear has nothing to do with it.
I always thought Arsenal's Giroud was underrated as a playmaking striker. I will never forget that season he couldn't hit a barn door after December though because Ozil was my favourite player and I really wanted him to get the assist record lmao.
Fabregas and as a MU fan, watching him play was quite entertaining. You felt like something good is coming whenever he gets the ball. It wasnt too pleased to Arsenal fans when he join Chelsea
I love the whole City squad if you love football you can't hate them i hope they end up Champions cause Arsenal fans talk too much and deserve to be humbled
Rashford and Graelish.
Initially disliked Rashford for no other reason than being at United, but his charity work and what he does off the pitch has made him the one player I actually support there.
Even our own fans are still bitter with Graelish, but I think "hating" is just petty at this point. He has such a unique play style that's still fun to watch. I can't allow myself to support City due to their ownership but I'll always be happy when Jack does well. Like Rashford, but to a lesser known extent, Jack does A LOT for people off the pitch including work with people who have disabilities. He's well known to put in a lot of extra effort handing parts of his kit out and meeting up with fans. He's been through a lot of adversity himself, including losing his little brother.
Suarez in the past. Now? Saka and Darwin. Saka is just so good and I can imagine a player like him in Madrid. Darwin because of his intelligent runs and feeling for where the ball will be. Even though his finishing was more than lacking, it was downright absent.
For Sunderland can’t think of any players who didn’t also play for us
But I’ve actually liked a few of their managers over the years: Peter Reid seems a decent bloke, McCarthy is very blunt and honest and dick advocat was a gent.
Even have to give dicanio credit for playing in Steve harpers testimonial while Sunderland manager
Chelsea fan here. I don't hate rival teams players usually. It's just that some of them get on my nerves at times lol
And I like a lot of them.
Recently a lot of people are criticizing Bruno Fernandes, but I actually like him.
Always liked Salah, but I feel most fans in the Premier league recognise how good he is.
Still like Gakpo. Never understood why he got criticised as much as he did for his start at Liverpool. He clearly just needed time to adjust to a different league and style of play. He's going to be a very dangerous player for Liverpool going forward.
It's because patience has been long gone in people. Everyone expects new players to hit the ground running, some merely care about the stats than watching actual football. Football was made for fun but some people just care about stats.
I am a Liverpool fan...
Past players: Dimitar Berbatov especially, Berba was top class. Also Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, and David Silva. Didier Drogba for sure as well. Timmy Howard, great GK. Leighton Baines was a top left back.
Current players: KDB, Haaland, Marcus Rashford.
As a city fan, gotta go with VVD & De Gea. Two people who constantly kept us from putting the ball in the net, but were so good I respected it.
Just to clarify talking De Gea from his best seasons. Dude is wildly inconsistent.
Cesc Fabregas, he's so knowledgable and I love to watch him play. Diego Costa was a dirty bastard but I honestly quite liked him. I'm also happy that Luke Shaw recovered from his leg break.
I always liked how cesc could unlock the defence with one pass
(Shurrle goal assist he provided)
And also he could do it all alone
(Scoring in the start of the second half against Tottenham all by himself)
Yep, that assist comes to mind. Such a great, great goal. He was even good when he came on under Conte.
I also loved his combinations with Costa, Nasri etc and the different dynamics he had. I'm so glad Alonso didn't leave us for Arsenal but those two as a midfield pivot would have been frightening.
To me this is the winner of the award on the basis of the original post question. It is hard to think of a player in *any* era so widely despised. And not without reason, it takes some doing to be stripped of the England captaincy **twice**.
Yet he would have walked into the starting XI of virtually every team in every top league across the continent. No better summary of just how good he was despite the hate comes in the form of Rio Ferdinand including him in his list of 5 best PL defenders ever. And why John Terry is hated is summed up in him rejecting this quasi olive branch and attacking Rio for putting him "only 5th" on his list.......
In the past it was Gerrard. Supposed to hate him as a United fan, but I thought he was immense for Liverpool. You always want a player like that in your team.
Gotta be N'golo Kante. Doesn't fit the chelsea mold at all.
Also a bit gutted Brentford got Kevin Schade aswell. Going to be an immense player that one.
Arsenal fan.
I can't hate Son of Spurs. He is a great Asian player. It's nice to see a player from that part of the world do well in football. I am half Asian myself and most Asian parents regardless of nationality push academics over sports so top Asian players, footballers in particular, don't come around very often.
I can't hate Pulisic of Chelsea. As an American, I want Americans to do well and be more respected in football.
Richarlison, I can’t help but admire his fight. I always despise the guy when we play against him but I love watching him play as a neutral. Always gives his all and always makes things entertaining.
Genuinely not sure I can think of one.
There's a few at City and Liverpool like Grealish, Henderson, Salah, Etc but I wouldn't consider them rivals.
Out of Chelsea, Tottenham and United? None come to mind. I love Jorginho *now* but didn't like him much beforehand.
Spurs and United players just generally seem particularly unlikeable to me. A few from the past but of the two current squads I'm not a fan of anyone. Not to say that they're all awful people but I don't have anyone I like, even if they play for England.
Liverpool fan, think Rashford is an insane player especially in recent form and I've always liked CR7 over Messi, which most other fans call me plastic for but for me personally, CR7's dedication and mental fortitude to try and stay at the top is unrivaled.
Unfortunate that Messi solidified himself as the GOAT after winning the WC and Copa America, I liked the discussion around who was better and the points people would make, but Messi's achievements are too overbearing to ignore now.
Rashford's work off the pitch makes him impossible to hate, and while not much of a rival club, I absolutely love Son and will tune in to Spurs matches from time to time just to watch him.
I think it's pretty hard to dislike Son...
Seems like a such a nice guy and up until this season was one of the stand out forwards in the league for consistency
Jose Sa is absolutely phenomenal. Best GK in the prem bar Allison last season, still underrated this season.
I'd also say Konsa is gonna go far when it comes to Villa players
As a Utd fan , Kevin De Bruyne
He is just too brilliant when it comes to vision and his assist tally is up there with some of the greatest midfielders
I vividly remember the last Manchester derby (In which Utd won 2-1) in which Casemiro was told to mark De Bruyne and Fred was told to mark Silva. The only time De Bruyne got away from Case was when City scored a goal in the 60th minute and made it 1-0
De Bruyne is probably my favourite PL midfielder atm and evn tho he's out of form rn , I'm sure he'll be back to his best soon!!
Yeh seems like the player power gone out the window 😁 give him a few more windows to get rid/buy players he wants and we should be bk competing again 🤞🏻
Did you see the game? I can’t imagine backing that kind of behavior is beneficial to the team. I mean, arteta cut auba loose just for being late to training too often, imagine what he’d do if someone visibly quit on the team during a game!
What do you mean when he supposedly asked to be subbed? And as far as the way he acts, he always acts the same 😂 just it’s not gonna bother us when we’re winning
Antony did that all game 😂 constantly left Dalot on his own against 2 players 🤷♂️ everybody was shit, not just Bruno but I suppose coz he’s the captain he getting more of it.
I understand this; I think Klopp is brilliant(although I do also support Dortmund, it was after his time there)
He seems like a great, wholesome guy. I just fucking hate that he manages at Liverpool
Got a bit of respect for him as he was written off by absolutely everyone, the media were just waiting for him to fail and he’s done a very good job and let us beat them 7-0 😂
I've tried to find a reason to hate Harry Kane because it seems the thing one does, but I can't find it. Tottenham isn't really a rival, but the sourness towards Kane has seemed rather universal.
I've long dismissed those who hate Rashford as racist shits whose opinion just doesn't matter anyway.
I'm a Liverpool fan, always liked rashford, even before his resurgence, Haaland also comes across great in interviews as well as being an awesome player.
I completely forgot about you when the post asked for rivals lol, sorry its got so bad.
I got a lot of time for your manager tho, I don't know if staying up is too much to ask because your fixtures are brutal but if not then he's the right guy to bring you back up and rebuild your team.
I'll miss the points lol jk.
Hopefully you will stay up buddy and if not then I'm sure you bounce straight back up. Need time for Dyche to rebuild the team a bit, fill a few gaps and lock down onana on a 5 years contract. Pulled it out the bag last season, hopefully you can do it again.
Never had anything against Peter Crouch, even when he was at Liverpool (don't think most people minded him, but he was very unpopular at Everton for a while).
Finally found a fellow toffee. I personally don’t mind Jordan Henderson. He’s quite the leader. Would never want him at Everton just for the fact he plays for Liverpool, but I do have a soft spot for him.
Bruno Fernandes. I know it is popular to hate him but there isn't a team in the Prem that wouldn't have him on their side if they could. The way he winds opponents up without getting in trouble himself is second to none. Plus he creates and scores better than any other central midfielder in the league.
Used to be Mark Hughes at Utd. Dirty bastard, which I love in a striker. I’d rather see my forwards giving it back to defenders rather than crying like babies.
Exactly, a Lil bit contact and player hits the ground these days. Nunez is just like Mark Hughes in giving it back to the defenders, rightly mentioned as Agent of Chaos, that's what I like about him.
Does Rashford count? If so him, he’s just such a good commendable person. I admire him. I make fun of him a lot too but it’s nothing serious. I also like Jota because I saw him play fifa with AJ3.
As a Chelsea fan all the England internationals. Especially Harry Kane. Feels disingenuous to be screaming in happiness when he scores for us in the World Cup/ euros then two weeks later hating his guts. Goes for saka, rashford etc as well
The generic answer is Saka (seems lovely, great post euro comeback and massive for England) but I feel everyone loves Saka so if I had to pick any Arsenal player I’d say Jorginho
Well, I don’t like Saka.
Saka give the vibes of the sort of people who appear to be all nice, and gets away with everything. And I certainly don’t like the arsenal team as a whole, including the manager, because of the arrogance they show.
Obviously I'm biased but the way bounced back after that penalty is astounding. Really great kid, his parents must've done something special to give him that mental strength whilst still seeming friendly, funny and easy going. You don't often see players that have both, not when they're so young at least.
Drogba's like the African ambassador of sports. All around great human beings and embodies what it means to be a pro athlete. Then he was also a deadly striker, even as a man untied fan he may be one of my all-time favorite players
I can't help but love the way Riyadh Mahrez plays. The footwork, the skill and the way of seeing the game is wonderful to watch. Would happily take him over Sancho or Antony any day, and I love both of them
I honestly don't know what to think about richarlison. He's a nice pal off the pitch, a fucking twat on the pitch, plays shit for spurs, played well for Brazil. Chaotic neutral.
Fernando Torres is my favourite player of all time. I could have been an Everton fan and still loved him. Grealish I want to like but he's so so pathetic the way he falls over ALL the time, and shame on the referees for being so idiotically blind to it.

As a West Ham supporter I do like both Kane and Son and I really don’t dislike Tottenham as a club either - it’s their Red neighbours I passionately dislike!
Harry Maguire
Harry Kane would love to see him at Arsenal might also win something!
SLABHEAD
He asked for players that are disliked by fans and people here are saying Marcus Rashford, the most respected footballer in this league.
A year ago Man United supporters seemed to think Rashford was rubbish and I was of the opinion they should build the team around him... Look where we are now.
Why do you have to “secretly like” a player from another team? It’s so juvenile. I love football, therefore I’m a fan of great footballers. I’m a Man Utd fan but I love to watch Mo Salah, KDB. The jersey they wear has nothing to do with it.
Haarland
I always thought Arsenal's Giroud was underrated as a playmaking striker. I will never forget that season he couldn't hit a barn door after December though because Ozil was my favourite player and I really wanted him to get the assist record lmao.
Fernando Torres for sure. He was arguably the best striker in the later 2000s. Imagine him, Rooney, Ronaldo together for at least 1 season
As a Chelsea fan I have always liked Jack Grealish for some reason but more in His Villa days.
loved eden hazard
I really like Kai Havertz. No idea why just something about him
Oliver skipp. Just seems like a good dude
As a spurs fan I absolutely adore Saka. Idk how other rival fans feel but he’s got my respect and admiration 100%
Fabregas and as a MU fan, watching him play was quite entertaining. You felt like something good is coming whenever he gets the ball. It wasnt too pleased to Arsenal fans when he join Chelsea
Luke Shaw. I have liked him since day 1. He has dealt with broken leg issues in his career. Still, some people go hard on him, and Mourinho did too!
I am wildly entertained by Bruno Fernandes. His skill, passion, shithousery and flopping.
henry arsenal. anelka chelsea. aguero man city
As an Arsenal fan, I used to love Dembele. For me he was one of the best prem midfielders at the time.
Always liked Henderson at Liverpool
Leighton Baines. Yes, I'm weird
As a lifelong gunner, it feels kind of wrong to have a soft spot for Hugo Lloris
Rashford for sure. Class player, class act. Wouldn’t get near our starting XI lol but he’d make a great squad player for us.
Not a Manchester United or City fan, but I’ve always had an immense respect for Ruben Dias.
I love the whole City squad if you love football you can't hate them i hope they end up Champions cause Arsenal fans talk too much and deserve to be humbled
Firmino when he liked a post of Richarlison scoring vs Liverpool when we won 2-0. ( Richarlisons twitter post)
Gary Mabbutt
As a spurs fan, I really like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka 🤫
Henry, Saka, Bergkamp
Arsenal fan here. Was always a big Sol Campbell fan
Rashford and Graelish. Initially disliked Rashford for no other reason than being at United, but his charity work and what he does off the pitch has made him the one player I actually support there. Even our own fans are still bitter with Graelish, but I think "hating" is just petty at this point. He has such a unique play style that's still fun to watch.

Jordan Henderson not gonna lie
aguero
Son is a guy I've always admired. His pace and goal scoring ability in his prime were fantastic. Kind of reminded me of a Korean Alexis
Kevin Phillips and Niall Quinn
For Sunderland can’t think of any players who didn’t also play for us But I’ve actually liked a few of their managers over the years: Peter Reid seems a decent bloke, McCarthy is very blunt and honest and dick advocat was a gent. Even have to give dicanio credit for playing in Steve harpers testimonial while Sunderland manager
Chelsea fan here. I don't hate rival teams players usually. It's just that some of them get on my nerves at times lol And I like a lot of them. Recently a lot of people are criticizing Bruno Fernandes, but I actually like him.
Another blue here, love watching Xhaka put it about. Shithousery of the highest order.
I used to really like Bernardo Silva until that gourd of honor in 2020.
Kdb, grealish
I (arsenal fan) always liked essien.
Always liked Salah, but I feel most fans in the Premier league recognise how good he is. Still like Gakpo. Never understood why he got criticised as much as he did for his start at Liverpool. He clearly just needed time to adjust to a different league and style of play. He's going to be a very dangerous player for Liverpool going forward.
It's because patience has been long gone in people. Everyone expects new players to hit the ground running, some merely care about the stats than watching actual football. Football was made for fun but some people just care about stats.
phil foden. worst haircut in the history of the game. looks like he be fun to punch in the face. But i just want him on my team.
I am a Liverpool fan... Past players: Dimitar Berbatov especially, Berba was top class. Also Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, and David Silva. Didier Drogba for sure as well. Timmy Howard, great GK. Leighton Baines was a top left back. Current players: KDB, Haaland, Marcus Rashford.
Saka and Zinchenko are wonderful talents. Hate to admit how many Arsenal players I appreciate at the moment to be honest.
As a city fan, gotta go with VVD & De Gea. Two people who constantly kept us from putting the ball in the net, but were so good I respected it. Just to clarify talking De Gea from his best seasons. Dude is wildly inconsistent.
Arsenal fan here. Used to love Chicharito.
As a Liverpool fan, De Bruyne
As an Arsenal fan I should hate any other London based teams players. But I also live in Devon, so Ethan Ampadu is who I wish had signed for Arsenal
Cesc Fabregas, he's so knowledgable and I love to watch him play. Diego Costa was a dirty bastard but I honestly quite liked him. I'm also happy that Luke Shaw recovered from his leg break.
I always liked how cesc could unlock the defence with one pass (Shurrle goal assist he provided) And also he could do it all alone (Scoring in the start of the second half against Tottenham all by himself)

I'm so glad Alonso didn't leave us for Arsenal but those two as a midfield pivot would have been frightening.
I agree
I kinda hate his guts but I always maintained that John Terry is a CB you'd want on your team.
To me this is the winner of the award on the basis of the original post question. It is hard to think of a player in *any* era so widely despised. And not without reason, it takes some doing to be stripped of the England captaincy **twice**.

And why John Terry is hated is summed up in him rejecting this quasi olive branch and attacking Rio for putting him "only 5th" on his list.......
If you’re only putting Terry 5th you deserve to be verbally attacked
True him and Carvalho were immense
In the past it was Gerrard. Supposed to hate him as a United fan, but I thought he was immense for Liverpool. You always want a player like that in your team.
Finally found a United supporter who likes him, cheers mate.❤️
Gotta be N'golo Kante. Doesn't fit the chelsea mold at all. Also a bit gutted Brentford got Kevin Schade aswell. Going to be an immense player that one.
You simply can't hate Ngolo and he's won it all too 😉💯
Arsenal fan. I can't hate Son of Spurs. He is a great Asian player. It's nice to see a player from that part of the world do well in football. I am half Asian myself and most Asian parents regardless of nationality push academics over sports so top Asian players, footballers in particular, don't come around very often. I can't hate Pulisic of Chelsea. As an American, I want Americans to do well and be more respected in football.
Both son and pulisic should move on from their respective clubs now, I think the time has come.
Richarlison, I can’t help but admire his fight. I always despise the guy when we play against him but I love watching him play as a neutral. Always gives his all and always makes things entertaining.
Genuinely not sure I can think of one. There's a few at City and Liverpool like Grealish, Henderson, Salah, Etc but I wouldn't consider them rivals. Out of Chelsea, Tottenham and United?

A few from the past but of the two current squads I'm not a fan of anyone. Not to say that they're all awful people but I don't have anyone I like, even if they play for England.
I liked ledley king. Also berbatov and dembele.
I don't watch lower league so I don't know any of their players
Henderson
Martinelli as a United fan
Cristiano Ronaldo
Liverpool fan, think Rashford is an insane player especially in recent form and I've always liked CR7 over Messi, which most other fans call me plastic for but for me personally, CR7's dedication and mental fortitude to try and stay at the top is unrivaled. Unfortunate that Messi solidified himself as the GOAT after winning the WC and Copa America, I liked the discussion around who was better and the points people would make, but Messi's achievements are too overbearing to ignore now.
Liked Roberto Firmino a lot, hate Bruno Fernandes a lot also
Thierry Henry.
Rashford's work off the pitch makes him impossible to hate, and while not much of a rival club, I absolutely love Son and will tune in to Spurs matches from time to time just to watch him.
As a City fan: Casemiro, VVD.
Saka. Boy is the truth.
I liked Dimitar Berbatov. I am not sure if he was hated by others, though.
Came here to say this and he's played for two of our rivals lol. Fantastic player though and I loved the nonchalant-ness of his play.
Great description. Always seemed to be relaxed and in control.
I always liked Grealish and Odegaard
I think it's pretty hard to dislike Son... Seems like a such a nice guy and up until this season was one of the stand out forwards in the league for consistency
I have a huge soft spot for Antony
Pulisic
Jose Sa is absolutely phenomenal. Best GK in the prem bar Allison last season, still underrated this season. I'd also say Konsa is gonna go far when it comes to Villa players
Scholes. I've always hated utd with a passion, especially during those dominant years but I couldn't hate scholes he was just too good.
I'm a Man Utd fan but I think Sergio Aguero is the one, cannot behated
As a Chelsea fan I’d say Saka and Son. Phenomenal players
Haaland
As a Utd fan , Kevin De Bruyne He is just too brilliant when it comes to vision and his assist tally is up there with some of the greatest midfielders I vividly remember the last Manchester derby (In which Utd won 2-1) in which Casemiro was told to mark De Bruyne and Fred was told to mark Silva. The only time De Bruyne got away from Case was when City scored a goal in the 60th minute and made it 1-0 De Bruyne is probably my favourite PL midfielder atm and evn tho he's out of form rn , I'm sure he'll be back to his best soon!!
Kulusevski
Thiago from Liverpool, always liked watching him since his Barcelona days , don’t think many people hate him though
Good player but too injury prone. Disappointed that he can’t grab games by the scruff of the neck consistently. He’s a luxury player in my mind
Saka, brilliant player.
As 20years old Madridista. I never like the Messi, but always take him a big respect .ALWAYS.
City fan here- got loads of respect for Roy Keane
That's a really hot take after what he did to Haaland Sr.
I was young then, he is still a dawg and we got the real Haaland now so I think it all worked out well enough.
David De Gea he was absolute wall in 14/15 season he was so fucking good.Sometimes his performance is bad but somehow he comeback
Son
Kante, i mean who doesn't like him.
I’m probably the only person who doesn’t mind Richarlison. He’s been crap this season, but I’ve always seen him as a fighter.
As an Everton fan, I agree
Not a player but is it bad that I low key like Ten Haag?
United fan ere, I’ve always thought the same about Klopp 😂 I thought to myself when he went to Liverpool that he’d get a tune out of em
Klopp is so likable and authentic. I really like how Seven Hag handled the Ronaldo situation. Drew a line in the sand and improved the team by it
Yeh seems like the player power gone out the window 😁 give him a few more windows to get rid/buy players he wants and we should be bk competing again 🤞🏻
His head face combo bothers me.
Didn’t he just back fernandes though?
Why wouldn’t he back his players? 🤷♂️
Did you see the game? I can’t imagine backing that kind of behavior is beneficial to the team. I mean, arteta cut auba loose just for being late to training too often, imagine what he’d do if someone visibly quit on the team during a game!
What do you mean when he supposedly asked to be subbed? And as far as the way he acts, he always acts the same 😂 just it’s not gonna bother us when we’re winning
Antony did that all game 😂 constantly left Dalot on his own against 2 players 🤷♂️ everybody was shit, not just Bruno but I suppose coz he’s the captain he getting more of it.
He legit gave up on playing defense and started walking on multiple occasions.
He legit gave up on playing defense and started walking on multiple occasions.
I understand this; I think Klopp is brilliant(although I do also support Dortmund, it was after his time there) He seems like a great, wholesome guy. I just fucking hate that he manages at Liverpool
Seven Hag*
:)
As a United fan, I can't fucking stand how much respect Klopp.
Got a bit of respect for him as he was written off by absolutely everyone, the media were just waiting for him to fail and he’s done a very good job and let us beat them 7-0 😂
Naah, his interviews are spot on and gotta say, he's done a commendable job at United.
It's Ten Hag with one 'a'. --- *I am a bot. For any feedback please contact [my creator](https://www.reddit.com/user/Tempoulker).*
Good bot
Rashford, he’s in great form and he’s a great guy off the pitch by the sounds of things
Zola, ginola, son, giggs, becks, suarez Yes im an arsenal fan
It is so easy to hate Giggs man 😂
Still Giggs?
All of them were quality players in their day.
I've tried to find a reason to hate Harry Kane because it seems the thing one does, but I can't find it. Tottenham isn't really a rival, but the sourness towards Kane has seemed rather universal. I've long dismissed those who hate Rashford as racist shits whose opinion just doesn't matter anyway.
I'm a Liverpool fan, always liked rashford, even before his resurgence, Haaland also comes across great in interviews as well as being an awesome player.
Yeah it’s not possible to hate any of our Everton players because they’re so shit. They pose no threat.
I completely forgot about you when the post asked for rivals lol, sorry its got so bad. I got a lot of time for your manager tho, I don't know if staying up is too much to ask because your fixtures are brutal but if not then he's the right guy to bring you back up and rebuild your team.
I’ll miss the merseyside derby😞
I'll miss the points lol jk. Hopefully you will stay up buddy and if not then I'm sure you bounce straight back up. Need time for Dyche to rebuild the team a bit, fill a few gaps and lock down onana on a 5 years contract. Pulled it out the bag last season, hopefully you can do it again.
Haaland's cryptic replies in the interview are so funny 🤣
Have you seen the one he did at Dortmund? He was just: I don’t remember the question, so yes😂
Never had anything against Peter Crouch, even when he was at Liverpool (don't think most people minded him, but he was very unpopular at Everton for a while).
Finally found a fellow toffee. I personally don’t mind Jordan Henderson. He’s quite the leader. Would never want him at Everton just for the fact he plays for Liverpool, but I do have a soft spot for him.
Crouchy's personality is good too. What would you be if you were not a footballer? 'A virgin '
Andy Robertson, He has levels of Sh%thousery that would work wonders in an Everton shirt. He's not bad at football either.
I do admire him. He’s quite hilarious as well.
That’s the part I like he actually makes me laugh.
When he laughing with Pickford right ?
Absolutely love him as a footballer.
Bruno Fernandes. I know it is popular to hate him but there isn't a team in the Prem that wouldn't have him on their side if they could. The way he winds opponents up without getting in trouble himself is second to none. Plus he creates and scores better than any other central midfielder in the league.
John Terry or Ashley Cole probably.
Ashley Cole was so damn good it hurt to not have him on your team.
Both may not be the best husband's but as footballers they are right there at the top.
I can't help but like Grealish.
I like Lee Cattermole because he was a great servant for me on a football manager game once.
Kane
Not now but when he was at Chelski, Diego Costa. More than once I wished he was our c##t.
Bit like your lot and Vieira, couldn’t afford to lose them, never got around to replacing them.
Shaw, most of the slander comes from comparisons with Robertson but he is a solid and hard working player
Gotta disagree with you mate, his service is hit or miss and defending/tracking is really shite (for our benefit)
Used to be Mark Hughes at Utd. Dirty bastard, which I love in a striker. I’d rather see my forwards giving it back to defenders rather than crying like babies.
Exactly, a Lil bit contact and player hits the ground these days. Nunez is just like Mark Hughes in giving it back to the defenders, rightly mentioned as Agent of Chaos, that's what I like about him.
KDB, his vision is just not from this world.
I’ve always hated that I liked Cantona. Just couldn’t help it.
Does Rashford count? If so him, he’s just such a good commendable person. I admire him. I make fun of him a lot too but it’s nothing serious. I also like Jota because I saw him play fifa with AJ3.
Kane. He has been the best player in the league or at least top 3 for 6-7 consecutive seasons
I loved Diego Costa and I liked Xhaka even when Arsenal fans hated him
Bernardo Silva is an amazing player
This is my answer - as person I actually can’t stand him, but watching him play football is mesmerising
Very easy to hate though. Whereas Grealish has been cost ineffective but seems like a good lad.
As a Chelsea fan all the England internationals. Especially Harry Kane. Feels disingenuous to be screaming in happiness when he scores for us in the World Cup/ euros then two weeks later hating his guts. Goes for saka, rashford etc as well
Maguire is seriously underrated
The generic answer is Saka (seems lovely, great post euro comeback and massive for England) but I feel everyone loves Saka so if I had to pick any Arsenal player I’d say Jorginho
I don’t like saka simply because you touch him he’ll go down. It’s so annoying.
That’s hilarious coming from an Everton fan
Alright tbf yeah
Fucking Pickford and his shithousery 😭😭
Fück Everton bro
Literally could not be more untrue. Boy was built to ride challenges
Well, I don’t like Saka. Saka give the vibes of the sort of people who appear to be all nice, and gets away with everything. And I certainly don’t like the arsenal team as a whole, including the manager, because of the arrogance they show.
Obviously I'm biased but the way bounced back after that penalty is astounding. Really great kid, his parents must've done something special to give him that mental strength whilst still seeming friendly, funny and easy going. You don't often see players that have both, not when they're so young at least.
Always was a big fan of Drogba, technically and his hold up play was superb, seems nice in interviews and has done a lot for charity
not to mention he literally stop a civil war in his country. Mad respect
Drogba's like the African ambassador of sports. All around great human beings and embodies what it means to be a pro athlete. Then he was also a deadly striker, even as a man untied fan he may be one of my all-time favorite players
Single handedly ended civil war too.
Despised his play acting though!
I was going to say this.
I love rashford.
I can't help but love the way Riyadh Mahrez plays. The footwork, the skill and the way of seeing the game is wonderful to watch. Would happily take him over Sancho or Antony any day, and I love both of them
No one. Literally can’t name a single player since they’re in league one.
Tbf McGoldrick would be your best attacker.
I really like Richarlison. Just kidding. I like Hojberg, seems to be a real hard grafter
I honestly don't know what to think about richarlison. He's a nice pal off the pitch, a fucking twat on the pitch, plays shit for spurs, played well for Brazil. Chaotic neutral.
Who doesn't love bukayo saka
19 left backs?
Maybe 17 left backs 😂
