Left Matic and Hazard out as they are neither too
Agree about Zouma but I think most fans see and appreciate Willian for what he is, a hard worker who rarely impacts the game for us in the final third. Against Liverpool he was poor in possession but at least he blocked a lot of crosses, right..
Courtois is underrated if anything, best keeper in the league imo
As a neutral, I'd agree with most except Courtouis, Salah and Drogba. I don't think Drogba offers what he could do years ago and for me is overrated. Courtouis obviously underrated and I think Salah is underrated, I think Salah is quite the classy player.
I think Hazard is underrated..
Cahill overrated
Overrated - Cahill, Matic, Costa
Underrated - Terry, Luis, Oscar, Willian
Yeah Oscar is definitely underrated
I'd have to say Matic is overrated. Even though he is a great midfielder he is not the world beater some make out as he has too many bad games. Costa is similar (he could easily be on double his goal tally).
I don't think I get the credit I deserve

Matic is about right imo. Costa a bit overrated
For no good reason at all Courtois has become underrated by Chelsea fans on here.
Oscar & Willian I've found to be quite underrated in recent times. Most overrated is Costa but given what he's following it's understandable.
You could present an argument that we overrate Matic & Fabregas as players in their own rights, certainly Matic, but not in terms of addressing what we've been lacking for a painfully long time.
I suppose Courtois could be classed as underrated but time will change that as it did with Cech. He needs that one MOTM performance in a game of key significance to eradicate that.
I fail to see the Mikel protection though? I think the majority realise how we've utilised him throughout his Chelsea career has held us back.
Cahill and courtois are overrated imo
17 goals in 19 games, overrated. Hahahahaha tickle my belly and call me Susan! Wow. Suppose everybody's gotta be Messi or Ronaldo now, otherwise the appreciation goes down the toilet.
Costa you could argue is made to look better by our recent striker woes
Cahill, courtios and Costa underrated for me. People forget previous seasons and just how good these players are/have been.
JT has been overrated for me this year. Nearly as bad as cahill without AS many individual errors yet no criticism at All while cahill has got slated.
Mikel is the new torres with people defending him and coming out with ridiculous articles or sentiments supporting him just because they might look cool.
Costa in his first season, coming of an injury, in a new league has done ridiculously well.

-------------------------
Bar Suarez, Aguero and RVP. Name me an out and out striker with a record like Costa's. And it's not just his goals, his all round game is top draw.
Anyone saying Courtois and Costa are overrated need their heads checked.
Both world class.
Mojo his workrate and hold up play are second to none for me
Cahill may be overrated. His positioning seems suspect at times. I really liked the look of Terry/Zouma against Newcastle.

Not quite, but a club like ourselves you'd expect a Suarez or Aguero calibre player leading the attack. A striker who can make something out of nothing almost at their whim. Costa is very functional and fits our/Jose's methodology like a glove, the goals clearly indicate this, but he isn't in that top echelon of worldwide strikers.
I must confess struggling to work out how a player of his intelligence on the pitch couldn't kick start his career until the age of 23? With Drogba it was understandable given his skill set but not Costa.
So first he's a player not of the calibre of aguero or Suarez?
Then Ur struggling, after saying that wondering why it took him a while to kickstart his career because he's so intelligent and has a better skill set than drogba?who btw is far more successful then aguero or Suarez...
And In a simple answer, everyone gets different breaks in football. Costa had Falcao ahead of him at atletico. As soon as he went then he started people saw his quality
