[Football] Worst player in the Premier League this season?

[vagabond]

Grealish.

 

[Seasider78]

The worst player I saw against us this season was DANNY DRINKWATER. Taken off before he was red carded, he did absolutely nothing right and had the pace of an articulated lorry. We should have buried Villa twice.

GRANT HANLEY wins the "He will be in league 2 in 2 years award" for being laughably bad in a game I saw on sky where we appeared to be plonked on his arse at every turn.

NECO WILLIAMS wins the most over-hyped Liverpool player who was actually totally shit award and will never make the first team ever again. He will have Hanley alongside him at CB

JOE LINTON wins the "Is this what £ Insert figure here gets you nowadays award" The fact Locadia went to replace him says it all.

Maguire gets a hard time though. He might not be World Class but he has improved Man United's defence since he's been there.

Danny Drinkwater is an excellent shout

propper.

Since lockdown he’d not be far off the top of the list.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Benteke

That was my first though.

And a timely opportunity to repost this:

Drinkwater is a brilliant call. I’m changing my vote.

 

[Yes Chef]

Drinkwater was an absolute shambles

It was on a par with Dan Harding’s Amex horror show.

I heard Dean Smith on 5 Live one evening saying how delighted he was to land Drinkwater.

Then a few weeks later am I right in thinking he got sent home from training for fighting other players?

The official worst 11 according to WhoScored (started more than 10 games):

Angus Gunn (Saints) 6.19

Deandre Yedlin (Newcastle) 6.33
Mamadou Sakho (Palace) 6.24
Adrian Mariappa (Watford) 6.28
Emil Krafth (Newcastle) 6.30

Marco Stiepermann (Norwich) 6.22
Lewis Cook (Bournemouth) 6.31
Roberto Pereyra (Watford) 6.35
Dennis Praet (Leicester) 6.38

Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) 6.37
Aaron Connolly (Erm... us) 6.32

Honourable mention to Jesse Lingard, who was one game short of 10 starts (9starts and 12 sub appearances), recording a mighty 6.26. Juan Mata also just misses out, posting a 6.33 rating from 8 starts and 11 sub appearances.

Drinkwater got 5.74 from his four appearances FWIW.

Yes, I was bored.

Drinkwater was an absolute shambles

We may not have the best players, team, manager or stadium in the Premier League, but we do okay. I do however firmly believe we have one of the best owners in TB and one of the best CEOs / Deputy Chairmen in Barberout.

But the one thing I think we do better than ANY other club is the unwritten "no dickheads" ethos that seems to flow through the whole club. That is why I can sleep easy, knowing that no matter what happens, absolute wasters like Drinkwater will never be pictured at Lancing holding one of our shirts up.

Villa were desperate to get Giroud, but couldn’t agree a deal with Chelsea. They then settled for Drinkwater...

 

[el punal]

De Gea seems to be making a late bid for this title.

Now being sponsored by Lurpak.

 

[elwheelio]

Ashworth is/was a big fan of Solanke and wanted to sign him for us. Fortunately, Muff took the bullet for us.

 

[elwheelio]

When we played Staines at home, I remember thinking they'd bought a lemon with Che Adams. When I've seen him since he looks very ponderous in front of goal.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Stretching the question a bit ..but for me Ryan Fraser for leaving whilst the ship hadn’t sunk..but could have played a few games to help keep it afloat..and for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, I find him an irritating little squirt

 

[lawros left foot]

Jordan Ibe if he still counts as a footballer.

 

[El Turi]

Marvelous Nakamba has been anything but marvelous for Villa.

That’s a really stupid criteria for them to use. Clearly there are LOADS worse players than those, who never got close to earning themselves a start in more than a quarter of their respective sides’ matches.

Ryan Fraser has exposed himself as all hype
