    FFS all these players are decent, and including Savo in that is a total joke. He scored 29 goals in 90 appearances!
    Király

    Agathe
    Bewers
    Scimeca

    Djemba-Djemba
    Farrelly
    Berson
    Ormondroyd

    Carlton Cole
    Balaban
    Harewood

    I don't think you can count Harewood (yet!) as he's only arrived at the club and hasn't really played yet (I know Balaban didn't play either, but he was bought back when £6m was a lot of money). I agree that he probably will be one of our worst ever, but I put Savo in as he was brought in a high profile striker to lead our strike force. Marlon is only a squad player.

    Nelson was absolutely rubbish.
    Milosevic was rubbish is almost every game, but scored the odd spectacular goal which clouded everyone's memory (Carling Cup final!).
    Ridgewell gave away about 8 own goals or penalties last season.
    Knight has proved already that he's utter sh!te.

    edit/ we've had a good recent history of Centre halves,(God, Southgate Ehiogu, Mellberg Laursen etc) thats why Knight and Ridgewell make it, even though I've seen worse.

    Webb....eh no? good player, just got injured

    May, he wasnt that bad. Jonathon Curtis


    Why not Taibi instead of Barthez?

    Justy didnt like Webbs attitude. Lazy sod.

    I put May at right full because I was struggling to think of a poor right full. He was a centre back but any time he played right full he looked awkward. Only reason.

    Taibi didnt play enough. Barthez was a clown and cost United numerous games and a trophy or two. Remember the clown trying to put off DiCanio in the cup or chucking away a lead at Highbury all on his own. Or when Real won 6-5 on agg in CL quarter final...he was at fault for probably 4 goals over the two legs.

    A bit harsh on Blinker and Vata.

    Maybe a bit on Vata, but not Regi. Regi was a talented enough lad but never seemed to put the effort in. All about opinion.

    Diao
    Walters

    Dundee
    Morientes[4]



    A few notes:

    1. I picked David James because he undoubtedly cost us more points than any other goal-keeper. The likes of Pegguy Arphexhad rarely played, so it would be harsh to make a call like that.
    2. I picked two left backs. Just because they are far worse than any right backs I can think of.
    3. I understand he was brought in more as a semi-coach because he understood the zonal marking system, but when he played he was cack.
    4. Great player before and after joining us, but didn't look at all like a footballer when he played for us.

    I considered including Babb and Nunez in mine and I totally forgot about Ferri. No worst Liverpool XI, though, is complete without 'Spitfire' D***f IMO

    Diouf was a reasonable player - but an awful human being.

    Bellion Forlan

    VERY harsh on Clayton Blackmore, he was a good player and does not deserve to be in any 'worst of' selection. David May also put in plenty of solid performances at United and rarely let them down when he played centre half.

    The ones I'd have to agree with would be Djemba-Djeopardy, Kleberson and Junior Ferguson.

    Eric Djemba Djemba will surely go down as one of the worst players to wear the jersey, closely followed by that waste of space Kleberson. Eric also has the dubious distinction of being picked for United AND Villa. What was Ferguson thinking at that time? To think he called Djemba-arse a possible replacement for Keane is just mind-boggling. Someone must have been spiking his wine!! It would be akin to replacing Robert De Niro with some bit-part stooge from Fair City.

    Hardly worse than Sean Dundee.
    Mark Walters always has a place in a worst Liverpool 11 for me.


    Diouf could be Pele an dI'd still put him in teh team, awful, awful sack of organs. (I'm not raising him to person status)

    Yeah Sunbed was a decent player. Had a couple of great seasons around 91/92 when he was the free kick specialist. And of course was a big hit with the ladies around Manchester on a Saturday night. :D

    An Irish team is bound to spark debate so off the top of my head -

    Nick Colgan

    Jeff Kenna
    Paul Butler
    Gary Breen
    Brian Carey

    Graham Barrett----Eddie McGoldrick----Graham Kavanagh---Joe Lapira

    Jonathan Macken
    Gary Doherty

    I know I've missed loads but this'll get you started.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭Time Magazine


    Xavi - just play the team who started against Cyprus tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,934 ✭✭✭OhNoYouDidn't


    Gary Breen was a limited player, but on way one of the worst centre halves to play for Ireland.

    You are pulling the piss putting Kavanagh on there. One of the better players we had for a period of time.

    Lapira? A one cap wonder amatuer player whose uncle worked for the FAI? I wouldn'f acknowledge that corrupt pick of Stans by listing him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6

    I'm sorry but Kavanagh is pure sh1te. He offers nothing. Not a great tackler, slow etc etc. And whoever told him he could take a dead ball has a lot to answer for.

    As I said it was an off the top of the head XI so feel free to do better.

    Take Gary Breen out of that team now, there were far worse Irish centre backs than Breen.

    Some really short memories on here...

    Torvan Picnic for liverpool was possibly the worst player i have ever seen. Ever.

    I think it's harsh to put players like, Morientes, Blanc, Keown, in worst ever teams. Granted they might not have been at their peak when they played for the teams in selection but their overall career should be considered.

    The worst ones are the ones that are total **** consistenly throughout their career, the ridgewells, knights (zat) Picnic's, Traore (Djimmmy), cygans... Note of mention to gary doherty too.

    For the younger posters you can add Peter Marinello instead of Babtista
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Marinello Arsenal's record signing at the time.
    And there's no way Blackmore or Forlan should be on the United team, I would put Silvestre in instead of Blackmore.

    Beat me to it. Him and Kvarme are a hell of a centre back combo. But we are a flexible team so we could always slot Djimi T in there and go 3 at the back..

    Terrible.....

    Surely John Scales should be in the Liverpool teams?

    It's not that he wasn't a bad player. He WAS sh!t. It's just that Kvarme, Babb, Traore and Piechnik were worse. Pellegrino was pretty fcuking horrific as well.
