Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by Ibime(m): 11:11am On May 21, 2009 |
As a continuation of MrCrackles best 11 thread, I would like Nairalanders to name their EPL worst 11. . . . not necessarily the worst 11 players, but those who promised so much and delivered so little. . . . Manager: Gareth Southgate GK: Craig Gordon £9m flop, still flopping, although he has talent. RB: Micah Richards Positional inadequacy has been brutally exposed this season CB: Mikael Silvestre French men can't jump. Geriatric. lol. CB: Danny Shittu One game, one mistake. LB: Andrea Dossena Need I say more? RW: David Bentley £17m flop LW: Nani This was supposed to be his breakthrough season. Im starting to think the boy will never learn. He needs to adapt his game to the needs of his teammates. Decision making is poor. CM: Deco Unfortunate victim of Chelsea's change in style of play halfway through the season. Has failed to adapt to the EPL CM: Alan Smith/Joey Barton The one-time golden-boys are well and truly finished FW: Dave Kitson £5m, no goals, no pace, no skill. FW: Robbie Keane Left with egg on his face after much-hyped move to Liverpool flopped Dishonourable mentions: Scott Carson Richard Dunne Jonas Gutierrez Nigel Reo Coker John Utaka Afonso Alves Johann Elmander |

Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by tkb417(m): 11:42am On May 21, 2009 |
Coach: Luis Felipe Scolari (although dude has been fired) Goalkeeper Craig Gordon: The punk came in with some much pomp and pagentry and i tell you, he hasnt done better than the Nationwide goalies Defenders RB: Micha Richards When this boi bursted into the national team last season, i tot he was the next best thing after sliced bread. His improved form coincided with the "new money" from the Sheiks and only one thing could have happened this season. A superb performance from the lad, but na lie, his slump in form cannot be adduced to any common sensical reasoning. Hes lost it LB: Mikel Sylvestre He looks like a slowpoke, he plays like a slowpoke. In short, nothing dude comes from this man. hes made more mistakes than all the defenders put together in the EPL In a much saner set up, Wenger should have been fired for this acquisition. CB: Joseph Yobo This is bad luck personified. Anything he touches turn to mud. Heared Everton are looking at slashing dudes pay CB: Titus Bramble hmmm, i hate seeing him play. He reminds me of Boumsong buncha twats Midfielders RW: David Bentley i think dude has a spiritual problem cos he used to be good. maybe next season may be better LW: Nani Nani without any doubt. hes got the same problems with Bentley CM: Dos Santos hehehehe, flop of the year. dude needs to be flogged CM: Deco i cant pick his problems but if Chelsea wants anything good next season, he should be flunged to the far east Strikers CF: Tevez. His valued at 25milla and all he does is to run like a possessed dog on the field. He delivers sometimes but dude should be doing more CF: Berbatov. chei!!! 32 milla and he cant score but win tackles Sauron said he had the best assists and also won more tackles than the other strikers and i begin to wonder why we shelled such amount on a complete punk. Dudes salary should be halved or better still beg Citey to come pick him so we can have Robinho |

Shit, I forgot about Dos Santos. . . . what a flop! |

Why are you guys mentioning Bramble's name. . . . he has had an excellent season. . . http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/9/england/2009/3/4/1137849/steve-bruce-wigan-athletic-defender-titus-bramble-is-the-real-dea |
Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by tkb417(m): 12:12pm On May 21, 2009 |
Why are you guys mentioning Bramble's name. . . . he has had an excellent season. . .just like Sauron will say Berba's had an excellent season. Some people feel Bramble did well this season but i wont be a part of it. Do you know people are saying Phil Brown didnt do anything this season? to me, the dude tried. So all these press induced ovation wouldnt pull anything for me Bramble is eternally shitty |

Coach: Rafa Benitez: Talked more and eventually capitulated to a superior GK:Kuzczak : Failed to even become a number 2 RB: Wes brown: Had an injury plagued season and was virtually useless to United LB: Andrea Dossena: Didn't live up to his Udinese hype CB: Tal Ben Haim: was a journey man, city to Sunderland(only God knows the next destination) CB: Richard Dunner: Error prone DMF: Nigel de Jong DMF: Niger Reo-Coker RMF: David Bentley F: Robinho(Virtually non existent outside city of manchester stadium) F: Berbatov(Waste of tax payers money) F: Payluchenko Bench: Gomes Silvestre Gary Neville Nani Diaby Joe Cole |

Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by Sauron1: 12:08am On May 22, 2009 |
EPL worst 11 this season. . . . GK: Petr Cech(He has deteriorated from one of the best goalies in the world to a nervous wreck) RB: Micah Richards(Where did it go wrong for this great English hope??) CB: Kolo Toure(African asswipe) CB: Martin Skrtel(He was supposed to be the next Vida) LB: Fabio Aurelio(Jamie Carragher nearly chopped his neck off last sunday, what a waste of money!!!) RM: Theo Walcott(He will develop next season) CM: Cesc Fabregas(His performance dwindled after the brilliance season he had 12 months ago). CM: Lucas(From winning Brazilian Player Of The Year in 2006 to a complete donkey) LM: Ryan Babel(Do i need to spell it out??) FW: Robbie Keane(Benitez's gamble that failed) FW: Michael Owen(Thanx for relegating Newcastle). Manager: Arsene Wenger(He is the only manager left in the BIG 4 yet to win anything in the past 4 seasons). |
Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by bgees(m): 3:07pm On May 22, 2009 |

This is a hilarious thread!!! Here are my worsts Manager Gareth Southgate His Boro team have been infuriatingly boring and simply cannot find their way to the goal post Assistants Paul Ince Almost single-handedly turned a Uefa Cup candidate to a relegation team in less than half a season Tony Adams Did the exact same thing Goalkeeper Craig Gordon: Suffered the sophomore blues and really had a stinker of a season so bad he was replaced by Fulop in the Sunderland goal Right Back Micah Richards: No need to over-analyze that dude needs to lose some OZ's Left Back Younes Kaboul: Can this guy go back to France already?? Center-Back Mickael Silvestre: There is this comedian called Mike Ogbolosinger he said something on a show of his "If something happen first time oyinbo go call am accident if e happen second time oyinbo go call am coincidence but if e happen third time my brother God hand dey inside" It is no suprise that one of Arsene's worst signings made this list and it is no suprise that in all 3 games that we conceeded 4 goals he featured and played significant roles in some of Arsenal's most shambolic displays this season first it was Tottenham,Liverpool and then Chelsea Sylvain Distin: He went from pillar to piss-poor in one season i mean if an old and past it Sol Campbell is covering your ass then you must be doing something wrong.His calamitous backpass to Kuyt is the highlight of a mediocre season Defensive midfielder Joey Barton: Probably spent more time in jail than the football pitch how he still gets signed by clubs defies all logic Attacking Midfielder Deco: Started like a house on fire and then faded faster than Utaka exactly as i predicted another player joins the Chelsea graveyard of transfer flops Right Winger Right Winger David Bentley: We Gunners can whinge all we want about Arsene's transfer policies but when we look at our North London neighbours sometimes we can't help but acknowledge the fact that Le Boss is right sometimes or how does one explain this 17 million pound flop who doesn't even get a place in the Spurs bench at times Left Winger Luiz Nani: Might be picking up his 2nd league title on the bounce but still doesn't explain his sophomore blues and mediocre performances and the sheer fact that he has simply failed to impress in any competition for this stellar Man United team Striker Bobby Zamora: Its more likely to rain in the Atacama desert than for Bobby Zamora to find the back of the net in your next premier league match.If he where in Nigeria or Africa we would say he either used juju for the coach or has connections with the club owner Andy Johnson has been poor but Zamora has been diabolical and shambolic!! Fulham have a solid defence and the likes of Erik Nevland to thank for their impressive showing this time around Dave Kitson: If Stoke had to rely on this redhead from Reading for goals they would have been relegated before you could say Brittania!! For a team with a freight-liner of average players none is more annoyingly average than Kitson Bench Scott Carson Fabricio Collocinni Danny Shittu Dossena Diaby Anderson Marlon King Afonso Alves Jeremie Ali-are-you-dere Andy Johnson |
Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by Nobody: 1:44am On May 25, 2009 |
Manager - Gareth Southgate If only soundbites could win an EPL game. GK: David James - Poor RB: Micah Richards - Always knew he was a product of English hype than substance. Having a great engine is no substitute for skill. CB: Sol Campbell - Pls just retire CB: Sylvestre - Nothing to say here . . . the facts speak for themselves LB: Nicky Shorey/Wayne Bridge - to think these were the candidates for Ashley Cole's spot. RM: David Bentley - Cant get a game for Totenham . . . now that's pretty bad. CM: Joey Barton - had a more successful season in prison CM: Nicky Butt - Thankfully he's back in the championship were he truly belongs LM: Nani - Totally useless FW: Agbonlahor - All pace no skill FW: Michael Owen - finished. Bench Kevin Nolan Kevin Davies |
Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by dayokanu(m): 1:53am On May 25, 2009 |
A40, In your list do you see how many Arsene Wenger products are there: Aliadiere, Bentley.
David in your list we have like 8 Englishmen who have worn the National jersey at some point in time. Owen, Agbonlahor, Butt, Bentley, Nick Shorey, Barton, Wayne Bridge, Scot carson, Sol Campbell, David James, Micah Richards. Coached by SOuthgate, SHearer This should tell us why the English National team is a bunch of crap |

Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by A40(m): 3:56pm On May 25, 2009 |
@tosinadeda Haba!! how can Nasri be in your list of EPL worst 11?? besides Allardyce had nothing to do with Newcastle's relegation they sacked him in the middle of last season Newcastle probably have the sale of Shay Given to blame for their relegation his goal-keeping kept them in the Prem these last few years in the first place |
Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by praxx(m): 5:56pm On May 25, 2009 |
And the worst eleven goes to, GK. Jones (midlesbrough) Conceded silly goals. he is the difference BTW the team that troubled the top 4 last season and the club that went on relegation this season. RB. Wes brown. make no mistakes about this one, he is a very good defender but almost nonexistent this season. LB. Wayne bridge Moved from Chelsea and everyone thought it was a move to gain regular play but has failed to book a place there also even though he earns 100k a week. CD. Tal ben Haim. moved from Bolton to Chelsea to man city and then sunderland. Please where does he play now? CD. Richard Dunne Highest goal scorer but against his own goal keeper Midfielders (in no particular order) David Bentley. apparently he annoyed the coach because i don't see any reason why he should not be playing after scoring a spectacular goal against arsenal in the managers debut in totenham(moved from Blackburn for 17m pounds). Nani. sir has tried to cope with the guy this season. gives away the ball too cheaply and when substituted he gets angry. another waste of investment(was bought for around 17m pounds from sporting Lisbon) Owen Hargreaves. I cant remember the last time he played for man utd. maybe the game he scored a dummy free kick against arsenal last season. please where is he now?. Tomas rosicky. Picks up injury only during training and never hears about his rehabilitation. i guess the economist is tired with the lad. even Eduardo way break/twist his leg don come back from injury. Strikers. i give it to the 2 most expensive players in England. (your guess is as good as mine.) Dimitar bertatov(30.75m pounds) and Robinho(34m pounds). they both did not play up to expectation and finally proved they are not worth half their price. Coach. Rafa benitez. Criticized all the top 3 other coaches at one point or the other. controls good football within the team but kicked off at crucial games and left with no trophies this season despite being the 3rd club to spend more this season. |

tkb417:Very Interesting! You would not believe it if I tell you that Bramble was voted by Wigan fans as their PLAYER Of the Season!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by kaypumpin2(m): 7:05pm On May 25, 2009 |
tkb417: Bramble improved tremendously for Wigan this term,and with defenders like Shittu and Colocini,there is always a space left for Bramble in defender's heaven. My Epl Worst 11 For This Season : GK:Gomes Though he eventually upped his game with the arrival of Cuducini,his blunders earlier on were preposterous. RB: Micah Richards There is little you can achieve with 99% brawn and 1% brain CB: Mikael Silvestre Fergie sould be charged for 419ing Wenger! CB: Danny Shittu Was there any game Shittu didn't make a mistake all season? LB: Gareth Bale There was no game he started that the spud's won(not sure).One of many good prospects fast fading into oblivion. RW: David Bentley Need i say more about cuntley? LW: Nani He seems to forget he is not C7 for most part of his game CM: Deco Who ever assumed Deco will make it in EPL with virtually all needed indices(age,pace and physique) against him is a Joseph CM:Joey Barton Frigging recidivist FW: Berbatov Some players are better off when a team is built around 'em.But then,he wins more tackles FW: Robbie Keane Boy oh boy,were you at liverpool? Gaffer: Juande Ramos and LPS Worst EPL analyst/critic on NL: DK |
Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by tkb417(m): 4:28pm On May 26, 2009 |

Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by tocdee(m): 9:56pm On May 26, 2009 |
praxx: Those players barely played this season SO how can they be regarded as the worst? Are you silly? Rafa criticized Fergie, advocated for Scolari to be given more time, praised Hiddink's experience and called Wenger a winner! Duh! ~Sauron~: Your list contains 4 current and 2 past Liverpool players YET they managed to come second in the EPL!! Wow! What does that mean for the other players in the league? Plus, two of those you mentioned scored winning goals against your beloved mancs this season; more than can be said of Anderson, Nani, Wes Brown, Neville,etc. Aurellio has been excellent this season, scoring 3 against United, Chelsea and Pompey from defence. He was purchased for 3.5 million pounds from Valencia. Howz that a waste? A bargain if you ask me. PS The Carragher spat was with Arbeloa NOT Aurellio. |

Re: Nominate Your Epl Worst 11 For This Season by Image123(m): 10:11am On May 28, 2009 |
Very funny thread. My worst epl players of the season are as follows: GK: Gomez. Almost single-handedly carried Tottenham to the championship division. Thank God for competition. DF: Micah Richards. was often a daymare on the pitch. DF: Silvestre. Simply shameful stuff. DF: Silvestre. He should repent. DF: Silverstre. He should resign. MF: Anderson. Cannot score a goal still in a team like ManUnited. He does it almost like its on purpose. MF: Diaby. Omi garri player. He shouldn't even be in the stadium. MF: Bentley. an amazing disappointment. MF: Nasri. Way below par for someone who's meant to be ARSENAL's creative player. I think even their new buy had more assists and goals than he did. FW: Alfonso Alves. FW: Michael Owen I think their coach should be Arsene Wenger. He's been reveling in mediocrity all season, and hardly seeing the obvious. |
