Hi Guys Just doing a little experiment, and wondering if we can name a full team of players from the last 5 years to current day, that have been known to be error prone, or notoriously not as good as some people thought/think they are including managers. For example: Jon Obi Mikel, Lucas Leiva - Two players people bash/bashed but have been consistently picked by the manager. Titus Bramble being another! Or Gomes - Error prone and has now seemingly disappeared out of the picture altogether. So a full team of players of this nature that you can think of. Keep it simple with a 4-4-2 formation. Who have you got for each position and why?
Gomes- Started off making mistakes every single game, then got better and better then went back to his usual self.. now spuds 76th choice keeper RB- Kyle Walker, always has a mistake in him, check out Chelseas 4th goal, WTF was he doing? He's fast, attacks well but is a poor defender CB- Bramble, how he came a footballer I will never know, made some great youtube clips though CB- Rio Ferdinand from 2009 onwards, slow, lethargic, his passing has got poorer. Bit lost in the modern game, can't count how many times average strikers have sprinted past him LB- Gael Clichy, Same as Kyle Walker, fast, attacks well, but can't defend for toffee. A lot of Arsenals and Man Citys mistakes come straight from him RM- Gervinho, Couldn't cross, couldn't dribble.. Couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo, lacked composure, effort, everything really.. yet Aresne picked him for 2 years straight.. Hmm CM- Emmanual Eboue, one word. Useless. But played constantly in Arsene's team for a good 5 years. Played in a variety of positions, CB/RB/RW/CM, so I'll put him here but in reality he can play anywhere in my useless team. CM- Tom Cleverly, watched United a few times this season, I know he's young, and under immense pressure but simply he is not Man Utd standard, and it really shows with his performances on the pitch, but Moyes still picks him.. LM- Ashley Young, he puts in a decent ball in the box, but that's about it. Not Utd standard. ST- Fernando Torres, probably forced to play by the owner for wasting £50m on him, but been ever existent in a Chelsea team for a good 3 years, scored about 20 goals, shocking. ST- Welbeck, scored something like 30 goals in 6 seasons.. says it all.. constantly picked, but his goal scoring record is atrocious Special mention for: Ade Akindiye, career went massively downhill after leaving Wolves, hilarious but sad to see him miss sitter after sitter at Leicester, poor bloke. Frank Sinclair, the king of own goals. Jens Lehman- Became hugely error prone in the latter stages of Arsenals career, he always seemed to get in trouble as well Aaron Ramsey before 2013-2014, he was awful, but glad he's playing well now Stevan Savic, remember him? One year at Man City, was dreadful. Now he's sold Demichalas, Man citys oil tank.. Struggles in the prem, massively.. There you have my team, could pick 10000 players but these useless knobs sprung to my mind straight away.
Some great names there Lan, biggest mystery in football is Titus Bramble, not only does he have a Wayne Rooney brain (total moron, completely unaware of what a prat the rest of the world thinks his actions outside football make him look), but one of the modern games fattest, slowest players in any top division, with no ability to jump, run, pass or even block. Controversial it may be, but for me from the minute he pulled on an England shirt, I could never understand the point of Peter Crouch, ever. Blessed with height, but completely sh!te at heading, average with his feet at best, capable of something mildly good ONCE a season! He is a league one player!
Gervinho is a fantastic dribbler. Even at Roma he's tearing the league apart with his dribbling. His passing isn't all that bad either. However, he still can't hit a cows ass with a banjo. He missed some absolute howlers for Roma already, and I'd be shocked if he didn't do something YouTube worthy by the time the season ends.
Agree about both Bramble and Crouch. Both seem to have brains smaller than an amoeba. Crouch even makes his WAG seem super intelligent!
Anyone old enough to remember Gary Sprake at Leeds- Generally a good keeper but made some howlers in his time.
He'll have much more space in the Italian league, like he did in the French league. But in the BPL he was woeful
Barthez - Always remembered him being ****e. Made so many funny mistakes Eboue - Same as Lan but he was mainly a RB for arsenal. Just terrible.... Bramble -...... Doesn't really need a reason why he's in there Squillaci - probably one of the worst defenders I've ever seen Santos - so poor defending and going forward **** me 3 Arsenal defenders in there... Lamela - 30 Million spurs spent... what a waste of money Cleverly - so ****, a championship player at best, only in the England team for who he plays for, not on ability Carrick - People say he is good but he really isn't, boring midfielder who up until last season got no recognition.. Malouda - Was good when he first turned up but his last 2 season were poor Shevshenko - another 30 million signing which was absolutely rubbish Bendnter - ****
With you on Carrick, its only Man Utd fans and Adrian Durham who think he is brilliant, and he only pretends to think that as he loves being controversial. Nothing midfield player who is average at 40% and below average at the other 60% of the game.
