In the wake of the cluster feck of a performance from our backline in the NLD, I thought I'll create a thread like this.

We've had some bad defenders over the years like:

Squillaci

Senderous


Silvester

And more recently

Mustafi

Kolasinac

Who takes the crown?

Edit: Apologies if similar thread has been created before

Think I'll go with Mustafi. He's as bad as the squillaci, silvestre and Senderous,but was more expensive.

Pound for pound our worst ever CB, maybe

I didn't watch Arsenal/Football religiously before 14/15 so I'm not sure of Squillaci/Santos although I gather they were nightmares.

I've voted Kola because of how stupid he is and I genuinely think there isn't anybody in the league worse at playing out from the back.

That's, like, your opinion, man.

Y'all are forgetting just how bad Silvestre was.

Every other player in this list had good games for Arsenal, I fail to remember a single good game from Mikael in an Arsenal shirt.

Sometimes, I keep wondering if Silvestre was a double agent for Man utd.

Probably worse than Mustafi, but Mustafi's transfer fee clinches it for him

For me Squillaci/Silvestre has to top this list but Mustafi is close.

One big thing is that Mustafi was expensive and closing in to 100 games played for us, the other two just 20 odd ones.

Can't be arsed to classify Andre Santos and Kola as defenders.

We have had worse defenders, but this man is the most infuriating player I will probably ever watch for my club...

...so many reasons why really...

His constant deferral of blame to others even when he ****s up constantly, don't think I have seen any other player do this as much as him...the fact he was bought when we were still a decent draw as a team, for a **** ton of money (I don't really like bringing up prices for players, but for him I will make an exception) His face and mannerisms annoy me to no end, I mean just look at the photo...he sums up everything wrong with the club, just a gimp that think's he is better than he is...but even when he is having a good game, DO NOT trust him, he will screw you over.

Though I hated watching Cygan play... maybe because he looked like a Bond villain.

This is why I didn't mind Cygan actually, as a back up every now and then, at least he looked somewhat tough :lol:

I think I've hated Kolasinac since this moment. He could've just cleared that for a corner, or taken the ball to the left flank himself but instead he tried to shepherd it back to Leno from that distance. Allowed Lingard to slip in and score straight after a goal at the other end.
