Most Disimproved Player?

LuckyLloyd · 13-05-2008 04:43PM #1

I always think this is a more interesting topic than "best" or "most improved" player. So who in your opinion has regressed most this season and why do you say that - and why do you think it is?

This is more difficult than simply listing bad players. Titus Bramble is still lol - but he hasn't gone backwards this year.

I'll start with Kevin Doyle.

Berbetov, very average and lazy this season, not what I was expecting.

IrishMike · 13-05-2008 04:47PM

Ryan giggs for me.
Absolute howler of a season.
Played well for maybe 2 games.
Granted he is no spring chicken at this stage.

Also Paul Robinson, some fall from grace.

From what I heard and saw, his performances didn't greatly decline just his scoring touch.

Ryan Giggs terrible season.

Cant believe someone said John O'Shea he hardly disimproved.

Alonso had a poor season.

Benni McCarthy and Gamst Pederson. Both looked really good last year with both looking more average this year, Gamst did improve towards the end though.

Killme00 · 13-05-2008 05:02PM

Steve Finnan - gone from 1st choice to not even in the squad at Liverpool

Ryan Giggs as already stated

Scott Brown at Celtic

Ronaldinho -what happened
Robinho - off the rails

Esse85 · 13-05-2008 05:07PM

Alonso
Riise
Benni McCarthy
Eboue
Martins
David Nugent
Leroy Lita
Carson
Dawson
Chimbonda

Jugs82 · 13-05-2008 05:11PM

Riise but he has been on the slide for a while

Van Persie has been terrible IMO

Mr Alan · 13-05-2008 05:12PM

15 league goals, 11 assists

Hows that very average?

Bounty Hunter · 13-05-2008 05:39PM

surprised he hasnt been mentioned yet but... Damien Duff. he is not the same player that played for Blackburn or Chelsea anymore, probably not even good enough for Newcastle now. A real shame how his injuries affected him

I guess the question is whether he disimproved much this season in particular. He's been useless / injured since he left Chelsea.

Four seperate injuries this season, would be unfair to judge him TBH.

McCarthy for me.

leninbenjamin · 13-05-2008 05:52PM

i'm gonna go with Finnan, mostly seeing as of all the names mentioned so far he's the most familar to me.

Insect Overlord · 13-05-2008 06:05PM

I'd have to go with Chimbonda, granted I've only seen him on MotD but he has not looked good this season.

he has been pretty **** since he gained his 'big money move' to tottenham. never looked the same as he did at Wigan. so he doesn't count

RasTa · 13-05-2008 06:09PM

Louis Saha seems to get more brittle each season.

machiavellianme · 13-05-2008 06:37PM

Kuyt

redzerdrog · 13-05-2008 07:07PM

paul robinson

another player who's had his fair share of injuries this season

http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/players/210/steve_finnan_injury.html

i'd go with Michael Dawson or Gareth Bale

Kone Rosenborg Trondheim 9
Kuyt Liverpool 7
Luis Fabiano Sevilla FC 7
Ronaldo Manchester United 7
Drogba Chelsea 6
Gerrard Liverpool 6
Kanoute Sevilla FC 6
Messi Barcelona 6
Torres Liverpool 6
Babel Liverpool 5
Fabregas Arsenal 5
Ibrahimovic Internazionale 5
Pandev Lazio 5
Raul Real Madrid 5

CL scoring charts
7 is not a bad return for the most disimproved player in the premiership
Plus he came 5th in the liverpool fans player of the year vote.

Scott Carson.

i thought the same. any time i saw him (which admittedly wasn't an awful lot) he looked like he was really showing signs of reaching his potential.

Good shout I think. Hasn't recovered mentally from the Croatia game.

Tonio · 13-05-2008 08:27PM

Gamst Pedersen. Was brilliant about two years ago scoring lots of spectacular goals. Has had a quiet season.

So you think that out of all the players in the premiership this season, the player who regressed the most is Kuyt? Seriously?

genericgoon · 13-05-2008 08:39PM

The entire Derby team (except Barnes) they've all gone from Championship over achievers to being out of the job probably.:rolleyes::D

Probably Real's player of the year this season.

corcaigh07 · 13-05-2008 08:45PM

id agree about van persie, he had a long injury free stint at the end of the season but was muck.

Greg Halford and Leighton Baines-two of the next big things at left back, yeah right!

id agree with Benni McCarthy too, its like he was sulking that he didnt get his big move last summer.

Riise has regressed terribly and not just the crazy OG v chelsea. Arbeloa as well has dropped in performance but could well get better again this season. Carra has the signs of aging too and is starting to make some mistakes(west ham awaygiving away a peno in the 90th min wasnt like him), as does Hyypia(he didnt disimprove though, in fact he over-performed considering the amount of games and his age)

Lita is a good shout too, getting loaned out to the championship must have been embarrassing considering he was at least 3rd striker choice before at reading. Doyle didnt score very often this season.

I thought McShane had potential but he was muck this season.

Anelka since he moved to Chelsea hasnt been great but perhaps thats more to do with Grant. Paulo Ferreira has disimproved at right back too. Joe cole disimproved slightly too.
sidwell never made an impression on the chelsea first 11.

Most Disimproved Player?
