Is Hummels the most overrated defender in the game?

[Rosco]

Well, is he ?

I can't think of anyone else (not on our team) so highly rated who is absolute garbage.

 

[gene hughes]

Having only seen him play about three times I have to say yes.

Actually he looked a lot like Coates to me in his dreamy, dreamy approach.

He's quite handsome though which is perhaps why all the football hipsters rate him.

 

[Modo]

Hummels was probably Germanys best defender in the Euros. Overrated after three game. Fuck off.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Reminds me of Coates, Elegant on the ball, looks cool but such a clumsy defender with a mistake a game in him

 

[Rosco]

A defence of him, Agger, Johnson and someone like Baines would be tragic.

 

[Modo]

But he might not be the right player for us. Subotic though...

 

[gene hughes]

Really hope Moyes spends 30m on him.

 

[Zlate]

What a load of shit! Hummels is a star! Him and Subotic. Don't be stupid and base it on watching a couple games.
Watch the German league and you'll see how good he has been and is over a whole season.

 

[gene hughes]

The German league is over rated too.

 

[Mystic]

Dortmunds defence was tragic last night, I'm not sure if that's completely his fault though, he does seem to have a mistake in him every game though .

 

[Holle]

He's been injured for a week before the final.

I think Subotic is a very good defender, and he makes Hummels look better than he is.

Hummels was at fault numerous times last night. He's just not a good defender

Yup. Subotic is the man for me. Hummels may have had a good euros but di natalie still made a mug of him in the semi's. Hummels is very good but he always seems to have a mistake in him. Subotic however can cover those mistakes.

 

[keniget]

I hope Barca don't sign him. He does appear to have a mistake in him in is too much like Pique. They need a defender in the mould of Puyol.

 

[kingjulian]

Why do you give a shit on who barca sign...

 

[peterhague]

Why do you give a shit on who barca sign...

Why do you give a shit about why he gives a shit about who Barca sign? Not that I give a shit about why you give a shit about why he gives a shit about that.

 

[Modo]

Commenting on other teams buying players means you support Chelsea.

 

[keniget]

I don't to any great degree but I suppose they're my second team - I watch their games pretty much every week.

Munich made a big mistake in ever allowing Hummels to leave. An inspirational presence and made one breathtaking second-half interception to deny Robben. 7

Pah! Conventional wisdom. They're reading the wrong stats, wrongly.

 

[RolandG]

Hummels was piss poor but Subotic was ace. Seems a poor man's Agger.

Mats Hummels (5/10): Hasn't been at his best all season long, and that showed again in the final. The prophetic foresight that has characterized his game in the past went missing, and may have cost BVB the game.

CB: Mats Hummels – 5
An injury doubt in the build-up, the Germany international looked uncomfortable at Wembley and contributed to a rather ragged defensive performance from Dortmund. He demonstrated why he is considered a possible Barcelona player when taking the ball out from the back on one remarkable run and then lashing a shot over the bar following a rapid break, but saw Robben skip past him for the winner.

 

[Fabio]

I think he's boss

 

[the_khl]

He may be slightly overrated but he's still a great defender and I'd be over the moon if we could sign someone of his caliber.

does this mean he is 'absolute garbage'?

 

[Rosco]

I failed to see the point of your article so I countered with two others.

None of the articles make him anything, costing his team the game might make him shite though

we both know he is not absolute garbage. he's a german international playing for one of the most successful teams in europe this season. he's very good, admittedly he wasn't outstanding in the final, but to write him off as worse than bramble and co after one game, is a bit too much.

I don't know about Hummels, but I quite like Hummus.

Damn you, now you got me thinking of hummus...
