    Greetings all
    I thought I would make a comprehensive eleven and subs bench of the very worst Arsenal players (that I know about) throughout the history of Arsenal. For this reason there may be some old with the new. Feel free to make your own.

    Manuel Almunia
    Gus Caesar - Pascal Cygan - Jeff Blockley - Armand Traore

    Stewart Robson - John Jensen - Amaury Bischoff - Glenn Helder

    Kaba Diawara - Gervinho

    Subs: Richard Wright, Sebastien Squillaci, Stefan Malz, Franny Jeffers

    Stewart Robson was a great player just very injury prone.
    Some of the players from the early 80s should be there, Chris Whyte, Colin Hill, Raphael Meade to name but 3...

    gervinho wasn't that bad. remember at the start of the season he scored quite a few goals. i'm sure we've had much worse players there. (park)

    Any team with nine players would struggle.

    Alex Cropley and Peter Marinello are another two failures who spring to mind.

    This is only from players I have seen play.

    Alumina

    Hoyte Squillaci Stepanovs Silvestre

    Randall Eastmond Denilson Gervinho

    Park Diawara​

    Gervinho is the star of that team.

    I saw Marinello's debut.It wasn't that he was a bad player it was he couldn't deal the pressure of being called "The Scotish George Best"

    Squillaci and Senderos were both worse than Cygan. All capable of making spectacular blunders but Cygans ability to occassionally make a decent tackle puts him better than the other 2 imo.

    John Jensen wasnt thayt bad either.

    Saddened to see no mention of Aaron Ramsey.

    From what I've seen and from when I was at an age to accurately and impartially judge players.

    Almunia
    Gilbert-Silvestre-Squillaci-Santos
    Watt-Randall-Eastmond-Traore
    Bendtner-Chamakh​

    Wright
    Caesar Cygan Squillaci Traore
    Watt Eastmond Randall Gervinho
    Jeffers Diawara

    Probably been some worse, but these are the ones i'm aware of.
