The unsung heores of the Premier league

The Premier league is blessed with so many stars with the likes of Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Aguero, Sanchez for whom the the managers, pundits and the fans will never stop throwing their praise.

But there are plenty of unsung heroes in the top flight who keep turning on consistent performance week after week but never able to grab much attention on the field. And more or less it is because there names come very rarely in the score sheets.

So who are those unsung heroes we are talking about here? I have picked out few names from the lot who for me do not always get the praise they deserve.

Michael Carrick (Manchester United)

He joined the Manchester United midfield contingent when the favorites were the likes of Scholes and Ryan Giggs. In the initial stages of his Manchester career his role was subdue, but gradually and gradually we can all feel that he has been one of the major focal point in the midfield area. So many good midfielders like Schweinsteiger, Herrera or Pogba are present in United's rank, but any manager would prefer to have a player with the abilities and the experience of Carrick. He can pass the ball, create chance, defend, almost everything which you are expecting from an ideal defensive midfielder.

James Milner(Liverpool)

 Everybody are in awe with the way Liverpool are playing their quick, attacking and fluidic football. Many of their stars like Coutinho, Henderson and Lallana are getting praises for their performance. But what about the veteran who has raised his games to such a standard that he seems to be controlling the game from the fullback position? Milner has been consistent and outstanding for Liverpool this season. He scores, he assists and more than anything else his performance level has never dropped. He might not get the spotlight compared to his teammates but without him it is difficult for Liverpool to maintain their momentum.

Cheikou Kouyate(West Ham)

A brilliant athlete and an industrious midfielder but he never gets the credits he deserves for West Ham. It might be due to the fact that West ham's recent success in the Premier league is down to Dimitri Payet's goals, but Kouyate is as important as anyone in the team.

Harry Arter(Bournemouth)

Another player who is enjoying similar success like Jamie Vardy from non-league football to Stardom. He is the adhesive that holds the midfield together for the team. On the field his energy is extraordinary and often chips in with a goal or two for the team in the crucial moments.

Phil Jones(Manchester United)

2016-17 season is proving to be the best season for the defender in his five and a half years of Manchester United career. Everyone knew how much talented the center back is when he first arrived but more often or not, his season was disrupted with untimely and unfortunate injuries and he would end up missing vital phases of the season. Under Sir Alex, we were able to see a glimpse of his versatility when he would play as a holding midfielder, full back and a center back. Mourinho brought him to the starting line up after both the first choice defenders(Smalling and Bailly) were injured and Jones re-payed his manager's faith in him by showing some stellar performance in the back this season.

Joe Allen(Stoke city)

He has proven to be a masterstroke signing for Stoke City after four seasons of disappointment at Liverpool. I just felt that he was lower in the pecking order for Liverpool and should have got more chances. He had a brilliant Euro 2016 for the Welsh and has continued his brilliant run in the premier league with four goals and two assists. His vision and his ability to create goal scoring chances in very tight situations are as good as any player in the league.
