All time worst Liverpool XI

[PTP]

yeah scales wasn't that bad and i seem to remember him doing a photo shoot dressed as James Bond and he looked very dapper so he survives

[magicalbarnes]

The worst thing is, we could actually make our all-time worst 11 entirely from Souness signings!

[James P]

John Scales, anyone?

You're not really getting the gist of this, are you Dom? I suggest you set up a new thread entitled All Time Average To Decent Liverpool 11 and post your suggestions in there.

The only impressive thing about John Scales was his unusual level of eloquence when speaking.

Otherwise he was pretty rubbish from what I remember.

Zak Whitbread was pretty gash as well.

Jon Otsemebor (sp)

Only notable for being shot in the arse with a pellet gun

I would have had Lee Jones in there too but don't think anyone ever saw him play. Didn't Souness sign him soley on the basis of one screamer on a match of the day highlight reel. Buying total ****e FTMFW

Didn't he make debut against Newcastle and were great? Or was that Whitbread. Either way I thought we had a gem after that game.

I always used to sigh when I saw harkness on the team sheet

[baitman]

too many of these are bit part players.

we need a list for the worst high value flops.

carroll, downing, adam, morientes, paul stewart, kewall, cisse konchesky, etc...

I seem to remember Ruddock / Wright / Scales central defence triumvirate being half decent in the mid 1990s. Admittedly we won **** all but we weren't utterly dreadful.

Bull****!

Medals don't make you a good player, or Phil Nevile would be a footballing god.

I remember in one European game, Gerrard ran half the length of the pitch to take it off Traores feet, rather than let him play a simple 10 yard pass. His touch was that bad. That's not forgetting his amazing own goal he scored.

He was shockingly bad. He could not head the ball either. It would come off his head at weird angles.

What makes it worse is we just kept on playing him despite his obvious amazing shortcomings.

Best thing he did was after we sold him he almost decapitated Pennant, giving us a penalty (two birds with one stone).

We were a ball winner short back then. When we signed Ince, suddenly James decided he could not catch. So close...
