Your team's worst XI

therecklessone

OK, limit yourself to the last 10 years, post your club team's worst XI (for extra points throw in a manager and 5 subs)

Here's mine (Spurs):

GK - Neil Sullivan

RB - David Kerslake
CB - Kevin Scott
CB - Stuart Nethercott
LB - Paolo Tramezzani

RM - Jose Dominguez
CM - Moussa Saib
CM - Jason Dozzell
LM - Willem Korsten

CF - Gregorz Raziak
CF - Gary Doherty

Subs: Kasey Keller, Justin Edinburgh, Ramon Vega, Andy Sinton, Sergei Rebrov.

Manager: Glenn Hoddle

That was tougher than I thought, didn't realise how hard it would be to choose just the 16...

Neither of the keepers were particularly crap, its just that they were worse than any of the others we've had. Defence was a goldmine of mediocrity...:(

kinaldo

Thankfully the majority of these players didn't get to put on the black and white shirt that often. Honourable mentions go to Barton, Beresford, Elliott and Peackock for all playing a big part in KK's great team and Kenny Dalglish's CL team.

GK - Karolse?? (that Dutch fella Gullit signed who played in a 4-2 defeat at Soton)

LB - John Berseford
CB - Andy O' Brian
CB - Marcelino
RB - Warren Barton

LM - Des Hamilton
CM - Silvio Maric
CM - Amdy Faye
RM - Georgios Georgiados

CF - Andreas Andersson
CF - Stephane Guivarc'h

Subs: Diego Gavilan, Robbie Elliott, Darren Peakock, Daniel Cordone, Nicky Butt

Manager: Graeme Souness

I cut him some slack as I believe his poor form was mostly down to his wife and kid being terminally ill.

Thats like putting Pele in a Worst XI at right back cos he's a crap right back!Surely if Centre back was his preferred position and he was decent there then he doesnt deserve to go there

Seaneh

The funny thing about Taibi is that after he left united he was ne of the most consistant keepers in europe for the next 4 years.

Not really though cause PELE NEVER played at right back, where as David May did for a season almost.

Probally the best team Ive seen so far

Unearthly

Taibi(obvious choice really isn't he)

RB: P.Neville(Can't really think of a holocaust Right back that United had so Phill unfortunately fits the bill here)

CB: Prunier - just crap

CB: Blanc - one of the worst players ever for Man Utd, only cause he was so past it.

LB: O'shea - Sometimes I wonder does he know how to play football

RM: Fletcher - Way below the standards that is required

CM: Miller - Never fitted into the Man Utd team and was just poor

CM: Djemba twins - so bad they named him twice

LM: Richardson - Yet another player who has somehow found himself in the first team depite being very ordinary

CF: Bellion - : \

CF: Forlan - brought us a few classic moments, but for 95% of the time was rubbish.

SUB1: Bosnich - off the field problems and just meh

SUB2: Kleberson, played out of position and couldn't settle

SUB3: Veron, pissed me off hugely

SUB4: Evra - 1 or 2 good performances but hasn't done the business yet

SUB5: Jordi - didn't live up to the hype

Manager: Alex Ferguson

Ruskie4Rent

the manu fans have seriously short memory. ManU have had alot of bad players recently but no matter what popular opinion suggests, fletcher, evra, fortune, o'shea and blanc certainly don't deserve to be in the WORST XI. Jeez even phil neville is in there. And Veron wasn't too bad, but for the inflated price tag and only spending a limited time there.

herbieflowers

Yeah idon't understand Veorn's inclusion tbh, he scored some great goals, played well but was just a lazy ass! Not THE worst by a long way...

OK, limit yourself to the last 10 years

Ruskie it is for only the last 10 years or thereabouts.

My selection has a few questionable selections.

---

Almunia

---

--Cygan----Grimandi

---

Stepanovs---Hoyte(I hope last wk was a once off)
--Helder---Song

---

Garde

---

Selley---- (a bit longer then 10years ago

---

Aliadiere

---

Quincy

---

Stewart Houston - as Manager ( a lot longer then 10 years, but couldn't pick Wenger, or even Rioch - who did manage to buy DB10).

Every ones entitled to their opinion. Personally I like Veron as a player but during his spell at utd he was overrated. He did have some decent performances but. Simon Davies may be a replacement but I'm sticking with Veron for now.

herbieflowers

but worst XI? What about Ben Thornely?!

RE*AC*TOR

Ah yes. This old chestnut.

---

Pegguy Arphexad

---

Gregory Vignal----Dominic Matteo---Phil Babb---Josemi

Michael Thomas--Bernard Diomede---Bruno Cheyrou---Nunez

---

Morientes

---

Diouf

---

I know some of the postions are screwed - but them's the crappiest players I could think of.

ah sure we'll stick in Chris Casper, Robbie Savage,Terry Cooke, Micheal Clegg, Luke Pilkington.

United had alot of young guys that didnt make it, as for Prunier I think he signed (trial) in 1995 (11 years ago - I think anyway) and played two games at home to QPR (where he played well) and then that disaster at Spurs in the league cup.

going on players that played more than 5 games (minus Taibi ya have to stick him in, if not Bosnich) I think my line up is okay. Maybe a bit harsh on Phil Neville but who else played at RB except him Irwin, O Shea, Brown and Gary??

If we are going to be pedantic, the first 11 would be full of 11 players who never made it past the under age team...........

Agreed

Everyone is so anal and opinionated. Put up your own team and stop disecting everyone elses, God it's only tongue in cheek after all.

gustavo

I thought Erik Meijer was a bit of a favourite with the Liverpool fans.

RE*AC*TOR

Erik Meijer was a total legend. Just got edged out when Hesky arrived.

Kvarme wasn't great but there were far worse - he definetly gave his all.

I thought John Scales was ok too. Perhaps it was Phil Babb making him look good.

mike65

Melions 11 is hard to beat except for John Scales. Stick in Jimmy Carter (who was a right sided MF)

Boy we've signed a few!

Mike.

Zapp Brannigan

Erik Meijer is adored by us fans, but still he was fairly shoite!
No-ones mentioned Salif Diao! I'm appauled!

Dempsey

Celtic:

Manager: Liam Brady

Hedman

Teliby    Sheidt   Du Wei   Camara

Petta    Juninho   Guppy  Fernandez

     Ian Wright    Cascarino

I'd say thats fairly close

5starpool

What about the legend that is Jean Michel Ferri for Liverpool? Despite being somewhat popular with the fans too I though Titi Camara was not a good player, and deserves to be in these teams ahead of Meijer or even Morientes, despite his hugely disappointing spell.

mike65

Jean Michel Ferri was never employed to play Ged simply bought him in to spy on the squad and see who was likely to be loyal to him when he took over.

Mike.

Camara was fantastic.

Class players alright, shame they didn't perform for you guys. Roeder's doing well at Newcastle so I'll reserve judgement on him.

Blomqvist was good just unlucky with injury
