The worst starting 11 in the world, what's yours?

We've had best XI, what about the worst?

This is a quick off the top of my head one:

Code:

                                GK: Gomez

      
RB: Steven Carr      CB: Titus Bramble    CB: Dunne/Boumsong LB: Gareth Bale


             
         RW: Antonio Nunez CM: Luke Chadwick CM: Nigel Quashie  LW: Luque

                       
                   ST: Benni Mccarthy ST: Afonso Alves

Norwich City FC 2008-2009

Hleb!? Really!? With the ball at his feet he's easily one of the most talented players in the world, I'm sure last year there was an article that said he had quicker feet than Ronaldo while dribbling.

toon_mad · 20 Feb 2009 at 11:50

that wasnt really a good one actually, should have put albert luque or something

peterattheboro · 20 Feb 2009 at 11:50

Agreed with Alves.

Djimi Traore breathes a sigh of relief as he is left off the first eleven

sanaxe1 · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:15

The Red lion pub team , I'd put there names but you wouldnt know them if i did.

FrankJH · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:18

how about Saha upfront - because he's most likely gonna be injured

Garath Bale should only be there if he is playing for Spurs - I bet as soon as he changes team that horrendous personal "record" will finish

Pigeon_Killer · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:19

Benni McCarthy? Far worse strikers in the Premiership let alone the world

Beerbaron · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:26

Mark González and Paul McShane

DominicStar · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:44

This thread is wrong. Collicini is missing and so is the Andy Gray/John Stead partnership upfront.

You've actually named a side that would probably end up lower-mid table in the premier league.

feeddagoat · 20 Feb 2009 at 12:57

I would have to add Barton, Samaras (tho now playing ok for celtic) and Darren Bent.

daz · 20 Feb 2009 at 13:04

Darren Bent?

He has 14 goals from something like 20 starts this year.

Gooner14 · 20 Feb 2009 at 13:17

Joey Barton is a solid player. He's just a **** at the same time.

In the physical sense of the word. It stops there

With that defence?

toon_mad · 20 Feb 2009 at 13:35

off course we know how world class stevie carr and good ole' titus were (actually titus is one of best scorers in europe

)

gareth bale is a jinx at spurs too

Have to agree and say Bent is total rubbish.

Yes he may have 14 in 30 this year but it must be some kind of fluke, last year 8 in 36 is more his true performance limit.
