Worst Arsenal XI

Been seeing a couple of Arsenal XI threads floating around and thought I'd start one for the worst ever players to don the red and white to provide us with some (hopefully) light-hearted relief in these uncertain times.

I'll start with mine:

Surely Almunia can't miss a spot in there!

As much as I hate Almunia, he had periods of good form and at one point people were calling for him to be given a British passport to play for England.

Martinez on the other hand is absolute garbage and I can't understand why he has been here for so long. And worst of all is he doesn't even have the will to get himself a move somewhere to play and develop. For someone his age over the past how many years, he should've gone mental to get a permanent move where he'd get games but he just goes on random loans here and there but prefers to hang around doing nothing.

Almunia should be in everyone's worst 11 based on the fact he was our STARTING goalkeeper for 3 and 1/2 years, that's mental considering his actual ability versus the club/team we were at the time...we have had worse keepers, but having a proper starting goalie could have made a big difference from 2007-2010.

Absolutely and that's one of the biggest gripes with Wenger at the time. We could signed Brad Friedel for one for close to nothing or a decent gk when the prices for keepers were peanuts but for some mind boggling reason we persisted with Almunia.

That’s incredibly harsh on Martinez.

Think that's mostly right but harsh on Campbell and Elneny who mostly performed when given the chance.

Campbell specially contributed when he played here and put in the work.

Elneny as well when we bought him did pretty well. Pretty sure we don't make the CL if we hadn't bought him. He brought calm and order in a dreadful midfield at the time.

...only picking players I watched as a fan, players who had significant appearances rather than just a few here and there, and even though some of them are actually decent players I felt they didn't live up to their potential/just weren't good enough versus what we paid for them.

Others like Stepanovs, are just pure ****.

Almunia literally cost us a Champions League and did us in for several league campaigns. One of the worst goalkeepers I’ve ever seen.

For me it’s:

Almunia
Lichtsteiner - Silvestre - Squillaci - Traore
Gervinho - Denilson - Kallstrom - Miyachi
Sanogo - Chamakh

Sanogo was worse than Bendtner:rofl:

Guendouzi?

It was between Guendo and Denilson really, felt Denilson was better at the start before dropping off badly...just never like Guendo if i'm honest, find him very annoying.

Looking back at all our "main" central midfielders I have seen, I realised I quite like all of them really...even like Xhaka as a player, isn't suited to England and has been a big disappointment at Arsenal though.

Sanogo was worse than Bendtner:rofl:

Agreed.

But Sanogo actually helped us win the FA Cup in 2014 and I didn't expect much from Yaya, whereas Bendtner could have been as good as Giroud but just never tried...putting Nick in for the potential I think he never reached.

Yeah,think that Bendtner had really bad attitude,probably could done more sometimes.Sanogo wasn't good enough for EPL.
