Who is the worst Everton player you have seen in the Premier League era?

[Papa Shango]

Couldn't stand Hottiger terrible terrible player and Pistone.

Hottiger only played 12 times for us. He did score at least. Won me a bit of money that one!

 

[Papa Shango]

Mark pembridge, he took a corner at Wigan, missed the ball and kicked the corner flag.

Pembridge usually took a pretty mean corner too.

In the past decade, honourable mentions to Morgan Schniederlin, Cuco Martina, Tom Cleverley and Joel Robles (in the beginning)
But Alcaraz by a country mile, and especially for that away debacle against Kiev

Agree with all of these, with a couple of caveats:

Schneiderlin's first five months ( he arrived in a January window, IIRC ) were very good.

Robles never got better; our expectations just dropped closer to his level.

Alcaraz was utter bilge. Turned like a barge, played like he had two barges for feet. He was so bad in that Kiev game that I genuinely still despise him.

If I was naming an 11 for this thread:

Robles

Martina
Alcaraz
Koldrup
Pistone

Nyarko
Schneiderlin

McGeady
Iwobi
Bolasie

Rondon

 

[MACCA75]

The right back slot would be competitive;

Martina
Holmes
Hottiger
Barrett
Ward
O’Kane
Cleland
Thomas

Hibbert got stick but he was better than that lot!

 

[Cool_Blue]

Surely Brett angel should be mentioned?

See #94 lol

 

[Noble Savage]

Easy one this. I was going to vote for Cuca but it looked like his was equally below average in a number of roles . Iwobi can only dream of such ineptitude . He's beyond that .
Was Tobias really that bad ? Claus had his uses and Danny's poor appearance record wasn't down to any lack of ability .

 

[terryefc]

Delph. Not even close in my opinion.

 

[Dykovski200]

It’s gotta be Iwobi, especially when you think of the transfer fee/wages to performance ratio. ?

 

[varnish]

No Morgan Schneiderlin option?

absolute coward.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Wessels
Tony T Senderdross (or Alcaraz) Hottiger Cuco
Shandy Thomsen Rodrigo
BarnDoor Brett Dennis

Imagine that line up would struggle to hold its own in Div 2.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

I know people will cry 'recency' but in terms of the worst player I can recall in my 50 years as an Evertonian, it has to be Rondon. Admittedly he has played better in his career than his current toffee incarnation but his recent appearances for us have been negative numbers, not even zero rated. I did watch Tony Thomas play for Tranmere a few times and he looked good too until the blue shirt came a calling. Perhaps we need a separate poll of 'ok players who were complete rubbish for us'.

Kroldrop was a centre back who had to be coached to head the ball, enough said.

Haven't seen iwobi head a ball myself...
