'Worst' Team of the Season

SlickRic

why the f*ck not?

get some more arguing going, wha???



i don't like the title 'worst', but i hope you know what I mean. I don't mean reserve youth players who played two minutes, i mean 'proper' players who just haven't been up to scratch this season.

it should make for angry interesting debate....

---

Almunia

---

Spector

---

Carlisle

---

Mears

---

Ricketts

---

McDonald

---

Walcott

---

Geovanni

---

Riera

---

Mido

---

Ebanks-Blake

---

lots of controversial ones in there i know...

Walcott, just doesn't deserve to be held in the esteem he is by some.
Riera, for being stupid really.
Mido....enough said.
Ebanks-Blake, for ripping the Championship apart then not being able to hit a barn door.

i could make arguments for all of them, but no need, and not enough time really.

also, i know the formation's not realistic really, but i wanted to get two strikers in.

post up your own, and argue away....

No McShane?

Gerrard above Walcott tbh in your team.

i put him in and took him out about 4 times, but i felt like being kind to the lad.

The likes of Riera, Mido and Walcott have barely played though.

judging a team like this shouldn't it be done like the PFA awards where it's across the course of a whole season?

i just felt like putting up a sh*t team.

Fabianski has to go in for his games to gaffs ratio.

Why?

Walcott's been injured for long spells and is a developing 21 year old.

Gerrard is Liverpool's club captain and talisman and hasn't tried a leg in several games this season.

I wouldn't have eitehr in my team tbh, but in a straight choice between two, if you want the guy who's been more disappointing I'd pick Gerrard easily.

AnCapaillMor

I'm an arsenal fan, gerrard may be most dissapointing but nowhere near as sh1te as walcotts been. Gerrard has a bad game every now and then, Walcott has a good game every now and then.

in reality, the team, I'm well aware, should be a hybrid of Burnley's defence, Hull's attack and maybe a hybrid of the two midfields, with a sprinkling of Porstmouth and West Ham.

along with an Arsenal goalkeeper.

but that'd be boring.

Gerrard has had a terrible season by his standards, but it’s been nowhere near as bad as has been made out in the last few months. He’s been made a scapegoat for Liverpool’s entire season.
Yes, his effort levels have been poor, and so has his attitude. But not in a million years has he been worse than Walcott. And no way is he in the worst XI of the season.

Hammer Archer

To be fair, if you have Spector in, he's been playing pretty much all this year as a left back where, granted, he's been $h!te. He's just not quite so $h!te as a right back.

True indeed.

Should be a fun thread anyway.:pac:

Yer man Jason Scotland deserves a mention as well.

Ah no FA cup finalists. :eek:

You have to pick a manager aswell.

Iain Dowie all day long.

Mr Alan

gotta be Brian Laws.

Brian Laws.

it's not even close.

Dowie is probably next in line, but Laws is so out of his depth it's frightening.

Rafa of course. Lucas as his assistant, just because he has to be in there. And Aquilani as the firness coach.:pac:

Frisbee

Brian Laws

Even his appointment was mind boggling

Esse85

Carrick would make that team as would Heskey.

Raskolnikov

Berbatov
Carrick
Deco
Fabianski
Eduardo
Gerrard
Kuyt
Riera
Aquilani

Players with big reputations who have had a terrible season.

karma_

Brian Laws, hard to top his 80% defeat percentage. Truly awful.

mike65

[E]blanks-Blake hasn't really played enough minutes to count. What about Johan Elmander 24 league starts, 9 subs appearences and just 3 goals.

Frisbee

Ricardo fuller is a good shout too.

20 Starts
11 Sub Appearances

3 Goals


Or Dave Kitson

10 starts
7 Sub Appearances

1 Goal

McShane gets the tantrum of the season for me (see link below) Wears his heart on his sleeve but seems to get caugh out time and time again .
Saw him give a MOTM display at Lansdowne road against the Czech republic and hoping to see more of that someday.

About right it seems. Shockin team in all honesty.

noodler

I'd have to consider Gerrard to.

If we are going on relative terms, looking at what they should be contributing to what they actually have all season though.

Mister Gooey

Although it hurts me to say it, the whole of the Liverpool team and manager. Overpaid, under-achieving wasters. I don't recall one good performance this season, no performances where they completely outplayed a top team. Totally lacking creativity. Brutal!

Although I agree somewhat with the sentiment, I think we outplayed Utd at home and Lyon away. Spurs at home (assuming they will be top 4 gives more of a case as a top club).

Delap has been fairly successful if somewhat controversial with stoke I think.

Warper

Definitely not in the worst team but Arshavin and Gerrard have seriously under-performed compared to last season.

That_Guy

Jason Scotland deserves a mention. Horrendous season.

I was tempted to mention Aquilani but to be fair to him, he hasn't played a whole lot so I can't really judge him that well.

Not that he had a bad season last year but the 4 goals against the pool made it look a hell of alot better than it was.

Col200sx

Coming from an Everton fan I'd say Yakubu should get a mention up front.

I know he came back from injury, hasn't played much either, but he's been terrible when he has played.

Also, Brian Laws 100% for worst manager of the year, and the Burnley board for worst board of the year with that decision to hire him (although Portsmouth and their distastrous financial situation also deserve a mention).

Unfortunately the PFA awards are voted for in Feburary, I believe

He's just that bad.

Gotta throw in Chucho for Birmingham. I thought he was really gonna light things up when he started in the league.

Fratton Fred

Four years ago, Jason Scotland was opn the fringes of the Dunfermaline team (or some other north of the border side that isn't from Glasgow) and now he is in the premiership.

I habve tried telling Trinitabagoians that he isn't that good, but after Jones they think he is a god.

Add Lucas,Carragher To That Both Been Shocking

mike65

Lucas has been just fine.

Mr. Guappa

Kolo Toure, Joleon Lescott and Roque Santa Cruz.
These guys have not looked like £20 million players.

Mr Alan

Shut up.

BigBenRoeth

If being bad was a good thing we'd all be dreaming of a team of spectors
I don't think Mido should be there though but the only reason for that is cos we've only seen him playing 3 or 4 times.

RandolphEsq

+1 to Elmander. Atrocious!
Park Ji Sung
Richards
Pavlyuchenko
Spector
Bendtner
