It could be worse!

Comments (5)

It's been a horrible season so far and I think I've slagged everyone but the tea lady off at Goodison so far this season.

The Hibbert and Osman bashing has died down a bit lately with Jo now taking the brunt of criticism for his lacklustre performances of late. But it got me thinking, Who is the worst Everton player of all time and why?

I think I'm going to have to go for Marco van Pembo! closely followed by Alex Nyarko. It weren't so much as games that passed these two yard dogs by as seasons.

Who gets your vote?

Ste I think the tea lady’s been abysmal this season...

If the criteria is having seasons pass them by then Andy Van der Meyde’s got to be in with a shout. He also suffers massively as we expected so much from him and got pretty much nothing.

Tobias Linderoth was a massive disappointment as I’d heard very good things about him before he came, and the same is true of Ibrahima Bakayoko. These guys did have ability though, and we’ve had far bigger donkeys.

I never watched Brett Angell live so in my era it's either Carl Tiler or Mark Ward. Those were some real depths we’d sunk to by then.

Hang on, I’ve just remembered Gareth Farrelly...

How about this squad?

Wright, Barrett, Tiler, Krøldrup, Farrelly, Linderoth, Alexandersson, Van der Meyde, Bakayoko, Mo Johnstone, Angell, Ward.

In my view, the worst performer I have seen in an Everton shirt is David Ginola. His attitude made Van der Meyde seem like Phil Neville.

There are too many who are so bad that we just can remember! Stefan Rehn, Marc Hottiger, anyone?

How about throwing in a few Judases for bad attitude:
Nick Barmby
Tomasz Radzinski
Wayne Rooney
Joleon Lescott
Robert Daniels

Simon Davies would easily get my vote as our worst ever player. I didn't rate him at Spurs so was bemused when we forked out a ludicrous £4.5m for him, more than Cahill and Arteta combined!

After his first 2 games for us against Villarreal and Man Utd, where he was completly invisible, I made up my mind he was shit and a waste of money and we had an awful first 4 months of the season where he played every game... but, as soon as he got injured and was out of the side, our form picked up pronto!

The local phone-ins went into meltdown with fans giving him stick and I was giving him as much as anyone but,predictably, his welsh mate Barry Horne kept defending his pathetic performances, as did brown nose Dominic King and he hid until he got his move. Simon Davies — pub player.
