A good example of this would be Wes Brown. He makes high profile errors which make match of the day and form peoples opinions of him. (And most people cant forgive/forget/stop laughing at the comedy Barthez/Blanc/Brown days). But in actuality if you give him 90 minutes and watch him for that amount of time, he's an excellent center half who would do well at 12-14 of the 20 premiership clubs.

this is what I'm saying. For most people it's not possible to watch every minute of every game (or even one game a week) and motd is all they have to base their opinions on.
Bad players get good reputation and good players get bad reputations, depending on what the good people at the BBC decide to show. For players from your own club this shouldn't really be an issue, but when it comes to internationals it makes things that much more difficult to hold a balanced view.
