Worst Individual Performances at Goodison

[Terrarian]

Efan Ekoku the Norwich fella?
Lombardo was streets above anything ever seen in a Palace shirt in fitness, attitude and skill. He must have wondered what on Earth he had done!

Ian Wright wasn't too bad like

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Very many of Ashley Williams performances when his spirit as well as fitness had long since departed.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Ian Wright wasn't too bad like

No. He was the most exciting and Zaha the most skilful I’ve seen but Lombardo could change a game. He was non stop energy, a sublime passer, fabulous vision with an eye for goal.

Iain Turner? Sent off within 10 mins of his debut 3 years after we signed him

I've seen the likes of Sigurdsson and Iwobi have proper shockers at Goodison in recent years, but was just thinking then and remembered the very worst Goodison performances from either side I can think of (beyond obvious ones like Nyarko/Koldrup) - it's this disasterclass from Paul McShane.



Terrible defender who had a career solely off somehow starting at United's academy.

What's the worst one-off individual performance you've witnessed at home?

Paul McShane was in the Hull team was he not when Mikel made his comeback and we battered them 4-1, and he as masterclass grim.
One memorable moment was when Jimmy Hill arrived with Fulham along with a debutant named Rodney Marsh in the mid 60's (I know, arl git alert), who was the epitome of atrocious. He was raw and cocky and tried various flicks and tricks and nothing worked.
Didn't turn out to be such a bad player though.
What that did teach me though, was to not to be too hasty to judge on one viewing. After all, Goodison Greats such as Colin Harvey and Howard Kendall and Dave Watson hardly looked anything like the players they turned out to be on first showing.
Only one young debutant I can think of in all my years watching that I never needed to make an excuse for because of a genuine riches of talent, was Wayne Rooney. Apart from the wild lunge at he LCFC centre back, Steve Walsh I think his name was, but mainly that was because it should have been at that donkey's neck (no offence @FOXINPEACE if you are on the forum) .
The lad absolutely oozed talent and confidence and sheer mental strength. The rest, as they say, is geography.

Phil neville against Wigan takes some beating struggling to actually think of one
Nyarko runs it close

 

[terryefc]

If warm ups count then has to be Per Kroldup.
Mistimed every practise header.

Used to love watching him play for Sampdoria.

 

[Summer76]

The only free ticket to a game i've ever had - vs Nottingham Forrest 1999 (should have looked that gift horse in the mouth)
Danny Cadamarteri was the worst

 

[everton fan number one]

James Beattie once went multiple games without being able to control the ball.

 

[RAFUH]

Yobo tying his laces... I think that was a home game ?? Shocking

Sidibe forgetting his socks - obviously not the worst performance, but my goodness that's quite basic stuff...for a 6 year old.

 

[PigNose1878]

David Unsworth v. Sheffield Wed
One miserable Boxing Day, got beat 1-4 at Goodison

 

[stevie blott]

IIRC it was Charlton away

Sidibe forgetting his socks - obviously not the worst performance, but my goodness that's quite basic stuff...for a 6 year old.

Forgot about that...Ha !! Carlo's face was a picture

 

[navidson]

Niasse against West Ham (all 14 minutes of it)
