mon dieu et sacre bleu , there's so many i dont want to bring back the clinical deppression. i must though take exception to your totally miss guided and slanderous inclusion of "one leg". luzhny was a cult hero and did a job of sorts .please have a rethink on that one ,he had a good raport with the crowd and always spoke well of the club when he left.

but you wont remember these players so why include them, if you wanted to start a worse 11 thread then wouldnt it have been better to have one of the players in your time of supporting the club otherwise players from any era could be used and im quiet sure we were shit in the 20s and 50s as well as mid 70s and mid 80s :wink:

agree with most of that the Horse does not deserve to be on the list though.

Luzhny was very underrated, and should be nowhere near this list.

I was a big Oleg fan so i vote to remove him from that list.
But with regards to Alliadiere surely he must top the Injured 11 due to the fact that he never played...(well a few games maybe).
Sounds a bit like RVP me thinks....

If you were born in 1985 how much do you remember of Hillier, McGoldrick etc too?

You could do a "Worst under Wenger 11", but a number of the players you include would be no where near a worst ever 11.

Boa Morte was ok, Denilson is below par for our current squad but we have had far worse.

Malz, Cygan, Vivas and Luzhny should not be there either.

Fabian Caballero springs to mind, as do a couple of George Grahams' last signings; Glenn Helder & Chris Kiwomya.
