CB - Titus Bramble

As they say, football is all about opinions but Titus has been okay this season. Certainly 10x the player he was at Newcastle.

I agree - he's still prone to the occasional howler but he's not that bad these days.

Ali Al-Habsi

You obviously don't watch Wigan. Ali is a fantastic keeper, it's the useless muppets in front of him that are the reason we concede so many goals. Same goes for Kingson.

Tony Hibbert. Bollix. No way on earth he is anywher near the worst player. His defending is superb. He's crap in attack, BUT he is a defender, and there isn't much that gets past him. As for Victor Anichebe... He's hardly played. We have fleck all strikers at the moment, and he's on the bench.

He is one of the slowest players in the Premiership and whenever he gets the ball, he lumps it forward!

Again this is just my and my mates opinion.

Anyone else fancy doing a full XI?

+1. Hibbo is committed and a good defender. Even his distribution has not been bad. He is the kind of player who gives is all and never really lets you down. Don't get me wrong There are more productive right backs but it is hard to say he would be anywhere near a wosrt 11.

As a Tottenham fan it pains me that someone can be that bad. My mate rang me when it happend and I agreed that he must make the bench!

[spud989]

He's always been absolutely dreadful. 95% of keepers in the football league are better than him; it staggers me how he is still playing at Premiership level.

But he is a defender, not an attacking winger, etc. A crap defender is one who let's people meander past at a canter, doesn't attempt a tackle, or any of that.

Odd choice of goalkeeper, played 8 games, conceded 9 goals, Arsenal only lost 1 of those 8 games.

What about Brad Friedel, played 32, conceded 53 goals, or Rob Green, played 31, conceded 55 goals, and so on..

does no one remember Taibi?

He was a keeper?

Oh, and what was George Weah's 'cousin' called who hoddle signed?

He came on as a sub and was then subbed after 10 mins?

[Godzuki]

I think all of these were before the current season!

Ali Dia & it was Graeme Souness, a man with a fine record of questionable signings.

Not sure he'd make a current season worst XI though.

Never seen him have anything remotely near a good game, but granted I'm not unfortunate enough to be a WBA season ticket holder (shudder at the thought, what a dump). He's utter dog ste IMO - Championship quality at best. Looks like the movement of his body is in no way connected to the instructions his brain obviously struggles to provide.

I'd also add Maxi Rodriguez to the list. I honestly don't see what he contributes to his team.

So where do you watch your football then?

Old Trafford. Granted, not the most up market area in the world, but better than being surrounded by people telling me "yum saft if yam don't support the baggies mayyyte".
