Worst Arsenal XI

[BigPoppaPump]

Clichy always gets ignored in these threads. The guy was a steaming pile of ****.

True but Gibbs was even worse.

This thread just goes to show how many terrible players we've had post highbury,

 

[Riou]

Top game that was, Fabregas and Adebayor that year were icy.

Hleb was ridiculous as well that season, best wide player in the league after Ronaldo for me...he was the perfect Wengerball winger really.

 

[serenitynow]

Wouldn’t this list be more interesting if you picked actual starters instead of guys and kids who barely played?

Cech
Lichtsteiner Squilllaci Silvestre Santos
Campbell El Neny ? Mikhitariyan
Chamakh ?

Im missing another midfielder and striker to fill the gaps.

Can’t pick people like Denilson, Djourou etc, they were actually good for us.

Sanogo in for your missing striker position. Guy was actually given chances in the first team.

----------------Almunia
Jenkinson-Senderos-Stepanovs-Santos
Park-Denilson-El Nenny-Miyaichi
------------Jeffers-Sanogo

Arteta manager.

El Nenny is a harsh call. Decent squaddie for 5m, but started too many games. Ditto Denilson. Ditto Senderos as he did have a good season.

 

[GeorgiaGunner]

10th place.

Touché

 

[truth_hurts]

Surprised to see so many calls for Mkhi. He started off brilliantly and then faded. We needed him in the Europa League final badly.

He was a good defender

Loved him right up until Birmingham in 2008. It's weird, it's like he had a clear demarcation of **** performances from that game onward.

 

[Tourbillion]

Surprised the usual suspects haven't come in here just to put Lacazette in their team.

I forgot my password till now.

CF: K.Diawara (the worst Arsenal player in my life time).
CF: Sanogo
CF: Wreh
CM: Mendez
CM: Inamoto
CM: Diaby
RB: Bellerin
CB: Cygan
CB: Squallaci
LB: Traore
GK: Taylor

Stepanovs, Luzhny, Senderos, Song, Suarez, Bischoff, Ramsey, Helder, Gervinho, Boa Morte, Bendner and Danilevičius all worthy mentions.

It's hard to gauge who to put in out of two different groups in Ramsey, Bellerin, Song, Diaby and Gervinho who had 100s of poor peformances for us compared the likes of Inamoto, Suarez etc who were so poor they were only given limited peformances with us.

Started following from beginning of '98/'99 season. I remember Kaba Diawara joining on loan for a few months, right? And he hit the woodwork a lot but never scored??

Mendez I don't remember much about, same with Malz. What the hell were their supposed attributes?

True but Gibbs was even worse.

Weirdly, Gibbs started very brightly. First saw him vs Inter in the Emirates Cup. He played left wing and had a superb game. Was top drawer in 2009 for a few months other than that slip against United in the CL.

Downhill from there, slowly.

 

[rich 1990]

He was a good defender

No, he wasn't
Nani made him his *****
All you had to do was cut inside him and he was finished. Offered nothing going forward as well.

Given our situation, he was excellent.

You are talking about players signed for nothing who were getting CL for you.

Djourou, Almunia, Sagna, Kos, Song, Theo, Ade, Robin, Giroud etc. Assembled for peanuts.

Awful at positional awareness. So many opposition players were onside because of him.

 

[Mo Britain]

——————-Almunia
Jenkinson-Squillaci-Mustafi-Gibbs
-Walcott-Denilson-Xhaka-Welbeck
————-Bendtner—Giroud

I feel it’s very very harsh for people putting players like Martínez, Kallstrom, Miyachi, Suarez or Park in the first XI when they didn’t actually play much at all and/or never actually even started a PL game in some cases. My XI is of players we got to see for YEARS not be good enough yet they kept being thrown out there to **** up any chance of us achieving anything truly great.

That line-up would give our current first XI a game.... but weak on the right half of the defence, but other than that.....

 

[Notorious Big]

Clichy was liability in defence,very weak and not very reliable.Think that he could deliver in attack,was pretty mobile.

 

[GunnerUK]

134 years of history and every player mentioned here all picked in Wengers last years.

What a clown that Manger become. Either that or this board of posters knows f*ck all about Arsenal and only started supporting the club early 00’s like a bunch of glory hunters

Clichy in a nutshell.

Calamitous player.
