The worst eleven players in the English Premier League this season – Part 1
Soccer fans hold the best: the goal scorers, the standout defenders, the flashy dribblers, the complete players and the impenetrable goalkeepers. These players usually represent the core of the club, and the on-field form of these players represents the
on-field form of the club.
Talking about the Barclays Premier League, one may see the star names of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895, sit atop the list of Premier League’s top players, and due merit is given to their well respected
resumes and their reliability.
As we all know it takes a good amount of talent, skill, ability and determination to take that type of credit, honor and appreciation, the opposite: The Premier League’s worst 11, requires the same amount of dedicated effort, although it never ever will
produce good results.
Being part of the respected Premier League’s Top 11 is an honor in itself but to be included in the worst 11 is of an entirely different nature.
Of course everything is open to debate and one may argue and exchange certain players for ones that have had a less than memorable season this time around. But we at Bettor.com bring you the Premier League 2010-2011’s worst 11.

Goalkeeper
It can be argued that it was partially due to Clint Dempsey’s blunder in the FIFA World Cup that sent the former England Number 1 whirling to an absolute unmemorable season with West Ham. On several instances, Green did not take full control
of shots that should not have been jumping out of his gloves.
Although he handed in a number of good performances during the campaign that are worthy of note, he did not particularly have a very good season. Even with less help from his defenders, this keeper was left to face a bombardment of shots and goals, that
he did not deal very well with.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Heurelho-Gomes-c16173 is no different. What Harry sees in him is beyond many. He has been poor in front of goal and has been leaking a lot of crucial goals, for example in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid. Although he has been good at
times, but with his inconsistency compounded with his butter fingers, he really deserves our number one spot.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Almunia-c23386; well what can one say about him. No matter how optimistic you can be, he is one of the reasons for Arsenal’s failure in the League this season. Had it not been for the timely intervention of the young Pole, Almunia had destined Arsenal to
the mid table. He fails to hold shots, move quickly and makes blunders that would make you stir in your bed thinking about it. He is the true deserving of the top worst keeper spot.
