5 players rated more by managers than the fans

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League
Fellaini is liked a lot by Jose Mourinho

#4 Gary Cahill

Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea - Premier League
Cahill is now Chelsea's captain

When he was signed from Bolton, he was among the best English defenders in the game. The fans might not have been so sure in the beginning but were absolutely sold after witnessing him in action week-in and week-out.

Cahill’s ability to read the oppositions’ attacks even before it came to fruition was an asset which has helped Chelsea many a time. However, of late, his performances are making fans wonder as to whether he should be a regular fixture in Antonio Conte’s starting XI.

But here’s the deal: Cahill has been made the new captain of Chelsea by the Italian manager, which goes on to show the level of faith the former Juventus boss has on the England international. It’s not only a trait with Conte as Jose Mourinho was also an ardent fan during his time as the manager of the Blues.
