The Fountain Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Jeff Wrightson made his debut against Everton on Boxing Day in the middle 80s. He was totally out of his depth, never hit a kick. Everton were fucking brilliant back then though so I'm probably being harsh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I don't remember him being particularly bad at all but Terry Wilson was subbed off in Keegan's first game as manager and never seen again, might even have been at half-time iirc and we went on to win comfortably without him.

OoOGazOoO Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I mean there are some good shouts in this thread so far, I'd probably have to agree with Luuk De Jong, his efforts on goal were like passbacks, so tame. But I think for me, there would have to be a winner, and that is pretty much any game Emmanuel Rivière took part in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancrate1892 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 52 minutes ago, Ellis H said: Can’t remember the specific game but Babayaro was bad enough in it for me to think of him nearly 20 years later for this. Danny Simpson also had some games where the other team would constantly attack his side knowing he would back off and never, ever put a tackle in. Babayaro was absolute shite, him, bramble, boumsong and carr probably the worst back four you could cobble together. Danny Simpson went on and won the premier league, must have done something right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Just now, JLC said: Didn't Beardsley score a ridiculous goal at the Gallowgate end in that one ? Yes! Both goals at the Gallowgate end. Gazza scored a trademark FK and Beardsley (if memory serves) jumped between 2 Everton defenders and slammed it in. It's nearly 40 years ago so memory might be playing tricks. We were beating them 2-1 and they got a late pen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Andersson was an improvement on what had gone before with Tomasson and Rush, though Rush worked really hard. He was very fast but negated it by not being able to do anything once he got there, and by the time he'd controlled the ball and done something with it we'd have been better off having someone slow get there. Hell! between Tomasson, Dalglish junior, Gudjohnsson, Guivarch, Brady and Rush Andersson was probably the least shit forward Dalglish signed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenTheBeansComeOutTheTin Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Amdy Faye. I can’t remember a specific match, but he played like he didn’t actually have feet. Or Boumsong against Liverpool when he got a hat trick: got robbed of the ball, conceded a penalty and got sent off all in one move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Cacapa vs Portsmouth is the main one that springs to mind. Riviere was shit for every second he played which makes it hard to pick just one performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) I couldn’t believe Riviere was doing backflips and summersaults after scoring against QPR(?) after a 21 goal drought with not even a single contribution. Coffin was sealed at that exact moment. Edited August 4 by Astroblack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
