more over-priced than over-rated...

and if you put together a string of clips which only show someone doing good things it hardly provides a rounded view of their game. If you include all his mis-controls, missed sitters and pathetic namby pamby falling over when breathed upon as well as the goals then maybe it would be a worthwhile analytical tool. Any clip consisting entirely of goals makes strikers look brilliant (they never miss) and keepers awful (they never save anything)
