That is the problem, of course the home team won't think there own players are overrated. How long has Lu been in Van? a while now..he was brought in to be the guy and he had his job stolen by Schneider, he could not get it done...week goals, bad games and all the other crap. Yes he is great goalie and at 1 point was the best in the World. But the fact of the matter is he didn't get the job done.
I don't see him as overrated because we don't think of him highly, not because I like him. Other fans and us don't see him as a world class goalie, we just see him as a good goalie. I do agree that he was overrated a few season ago, but most people see him for what he is now.
