Best crap players and worst good players

[antti19]

most underated player..and my favourite..Darren Anderton.
Part of the famous 5, major player at Euro 96. Always been tagged with sick note tag, but contributed so much when he did play. Awesome player

Mine too

 

[Goobers]

Most underrated for me was probably Carrick. I don't think he was appreciated too much at Spurs.
Favourite worst player was Freund.
Worst good player for me was poor old Sergei Rebrov. Never really happened for him yet had unreal ability.

 

[danielneeds]

He started out as a no10 at arsenal. No idea why he suddenly became a winger at Norwich.

Because he was really good at crossing the ball. And Beckham became his template.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Best crap player was Huerleo (sp?) Gomes for sure

Worst good player? ? For me... Gio dos Santos

(If I understood the title correctly)

 

[Woodyy]

Best worst player - would I get hammered for saying Sandro? Maybe a bit harsh as he had a few bad injuries but he literally dropped off the face of the earth after leaving us, he was an absolute monster in midfield for us at times.

 

[rez9000]

Dawson is 100% a great/crap player. Lovely bloke with a heart of a lion that allowed him to achieve far more than anyone with his technical ability usually would. His diagnal long balls out for a throw in were a thing of nightmares but there is no one I'd rather be on the frontline when we were up against it.

It's the old Alexander the Great line:

"I'm more frightened of an army of sheep led by a lion than an army of lions led by a sheep"

That goal against Everton was amazing!

One of my all time favourite Spurs goals. So so good.

 

[Hotspur33]

Allan Nielsen for best worst player.

Actually, I was probably a bit young to have an educated opinion of him, but as a 14 year old boy, I never really saw him as an impressive footballer, but had a knack of scoring goals.

 

[KingsDodgyKnee]

Worst Best Player(s):
Taarabt
Kevin Prince Boateng
Soldado
Dos Santos
Paulinho

Best Worst Player(s):
Tainio
Super Pav
Zokora
Lee Young-pyo
Stalteri

 

[Ray Ray]

Postiga for worst best player? He came so highly regarded, but was just awful during his time with us and never looked like scoring.

Probably a few players on that list - Vlad Chirices, soldado, Vincent Janssen.

 

[SUIYHA]

Worst Best Player(s):
Taarabt
Kevin Prince Boateng
Soldado
Dos Santos
Paulinho

Best Worst Player(s):
Tainio
Super Pav
Zokora
Lee Young-pyo
Stalteri

Agreed with all of these, except I'd swap Paulinho and Pavlyuchenko round in those lists. Paulinho was a bloody awful footballer but somehow managed to start for Brazil and win the double with Barcelona. Whereas if you watched a highlights real of Pav's best goals you'd think he was the second coming of Van Basten, but he was usually piss poor over 90 minutes and was never consistent enough to really hold down a first team place here.

 

[SUIYHA]

Two new names for me that nobody's mentioned:

Crap good player - Younes Kaboul. This guy had all of the raw skills that you'd need to be an elite centre-back - pace, strength, composure, aggression, leadership, good on the ball and able to carry it out of defence - in Redknapp's last season it felt like he was finally adding consistency to his game and was on his way to the very top. But then he got injured, and when he came back it wasn't his physical attributes that had gone, but it felt like he was mentally about 10 seconds behind the game at all times and kept making howlers every week until eventually he was dropped for good and his career was over by the time he was 31. Shame.

Good crap player - Nacer Chadli. Couldn't pass, couldn't beat a man, no real pace, no idea what he was doing playing on the wing for us. But he chipped in with some really important goals in Poch's first season - the ones in the NLD and the 5-3 win over Chelsea particular favourites of mine.

 

[fortworthspur]

Jamie Ohara was a pretty good crap player.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Couldn't pass, couldn't beat a man, no real pace, no idea what he was doing playing on the wing for us

He absolutely could pass and beat a man. Guy had bundles of skill and in Pochettino’s first season was very exciting to watch.

Totally agree with you on Kaboul though. What a waste.

 

[Super Pav]

Agreed with all of these, except I'd swap Paulinho and Pavlyuchenko round in those lists. Paulinho was a bloody awful footballer but somehow managed to start for Brazil and win the double with Barcelona. Whereas if you watched a highlights real of Pav's best goals you'd think he was the second coming of Van Basten, but he was usually piss poor over 90 minutes and was never consistent enough to really hold down a first team place here.

Agree,obviously jumping to Pav's defence here,always considered him comfortably our best striker of his era,yes he didn't run "run around that much" but did what it said on the tin and put the ball in the back of the net,should imagine his goals per minutes is pretty good too? Always felt his questionable attitude at times was a result of him being overlooked in favour of inferior team mates such as Crouch who was a Redknapp favourite , Birmingham may well have stayed up if Crouch doesn't get injured in 2011!

 

[Tottenham_God]

How long do they have to have played for the club? Jake Livermore is diabolically average yet has England caps and made a good career for himself

 

[Trix]

Was so excited about Rebrov and really wanted him to become good, but nothing we saw from him at Spurs suggested he was good, and nothing we saw afterwards did either. I think Shevchenko did a lot of the heavy lifting in that partnership

What Shevchenko did in that partnership was drag both CB's with him wherever he went. Rebrov had so much space all the time. As soon as he was the main man and was marked properly he struggled.

 

[Mediocrates]

He absolutely could pass and beat a man. Guy had bundles of skill and in Pochettino’s first season was very exciting to watch.

Totally agree with you on Kanoute though. What a waste.

What do you mean?

 

[dontcallme]

Worst good player - Moussa Saib. I remember watching him and thinking we had a quality player on our hands. But it never worked out.

Best crap player - Atouba. For all the frightening moments he gave us of playing with the ball around his area. He never gave away a goal. For where we were at the time he did all right,

 

[BringBack_leGin]

What do you mean?

My phone auto corrected Kaboul, which it doesn’t recognise, to Kanoute, which somehow it does ?
