Carlton Palmer got double the England caps MLT managed.
Lack of work rate killed his career, a few amazing goals aside.

England caps are not necessarily an indicator of quality. Phil Neville has 59 caps. I agree with you re his work rate, though. To some managers, he could be seen as "lazy". But that doesn't make him average. Not for me, anyway.Carlton Palmer got double the England caps MLT managed.

Probably the most overrated English player, simply because he played during the first ten years of the Premier League.

Le Tiss would have done better abroad. Tactics didn’t come into the Oremier League until about 2005.Probably the most overrated English player, simply because he played during the first ten years of the Premier League.

If he was playing now and Pep inherited a 25 year old Le Tissier, would he play or sell him?

Disagree. It's precisely because the premier league was so open and predominantly kick-and-rush that he lasted so long.
Paulo Henrique Ganso and Gourcuff were more rounded and talented players but didn't hit the same numbers. Old school number 10s are virtually extinct in the modern game.

He’d have to be able to move into space at the right times, but he could have done well abroad as a number 10.Disagree. It's precisely because the premier league was so open and predominantly kick-and-rush that he lasted so long.

I don't know. Honestly. Would he come round to Pep's philosophy of hard work. Aguero did,eventually. Not sure Matt would, if I'm being honest.He stood out technically in a league dominated by physicality and limited tactics.

Briefly? He was a top player for great teams for over a decade. Won almost every trophy going.
