Moreno was worse. Make a mistake, smile like a gobshite, make another mistake, rinse and repeat. Abomination of a player.

 

Edit: forgot about Konchesky. He was the worst.

We really do have a shocking tradition of crap left backs. There can't be another position where we've so often unearthed an absolutely woeful set of players. Julian Dicks (Reporter: 'Why did you sign him?' Souness: 'He's a man'. He actually said that. That was it.). Burrows (and the often shouted remark, 'Burrows, ya bastard, you couldn't find a red shirt in a bloody abattoir!'); Warnock; Dossena; Insua; Konchesky; Cissokho; Moreno; and the decent but cornflake-frail Aurélio.

 

Only in that company does Stig seem relatively okay-ish.

You left out the legend that is Jose Enrique. Presumably because of his quality...

Joey Jones is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet , he used to walk his dogs past my sisters house and he would always stop and chat seen him since coming out of the Lidl and he stopped and we had a good chin wag he's absolutely adored at Wrexham Fc nobody has a bad  word to say about him .

He used to live by my mate's Auntie on the Wirral. Joey gave my mate's Auntie a pair of his Welsh shorts for my mate to wear,and boy did he wear them! He had them for years and took every opportunity to wear them until the arse fell out of them,quite literally. We took the piss out of him constantly as they were way too big and he had legs like the chalk end of a snooker cue.

Burrows was ten times the player Dicks was and actually was a decent left back. Another one of Souness fuck ups that our fans seem to forget during those dark days.

I think Jose was a good left back, and far too good for that company.

Personally I wouldn't call him decent. He was a no-nonsense journeyman player at best but never LFC standard.

Dossena..the only Italian in the world who couldn't defend..

Warnock was also decent but injury prone from memory.

Agree with vlad..Burrows wasn't that bad

I remember insua showing early promise aswell.

[El Rojo]

Vignal looked like a real prospect in his first few games, with Riise further ahead of him in midfield.

At the time he was above LFC standard.

Well, no, he obviously wasn't, unless you regard that standard as being whatever it empirically is at any one point, which would render it relativistically as a transient state rather than a standard as such and thus utterly worthless, in this context, to discuss.

So compared to the standard now he was shit?

He was during Souness reign and certainly was far from our worst overall. I think he even won a title in 1990? Discussing him and comparing him to era's of great success is a bit pointless given the era he was signed during. 

Edit,he was signed in 88 so was part of two title winning squads and an FA Cup winning one.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

All of his Liverpool goals.

 

 

[Pidge]

Brad Jones ahead of most of these chumps in goal. Especially considering what he was going through when we needed him.

 

Although obviously the man, the myth, the legend Tony Warner wins out.

[LFC 6 Times]

Very sad about this. The group is progressively being broken up. Even though he was bit part, Divock always gave me a feeling of comfort just having him around felt nice.

 

Good luck to him, will always have a special place in my heart.

His touch for those two goals in the FA Cup against the Bloos is just pure porn.

You're right; it was a month before the kids knocked them out of the Cup.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Any coincidence that it all turns to shit once Divock goes? 
 

Not for me. 
 

Liverpool without Origi is nothing. 
 

Bring him home. 
 

Not to play. Just for the good luck omen that he obviously is.

Selling him and Taki,both made a fair few appearances last season,was always going to be a risk given both the inexperience behind them and the likelihood of an injury crisis as has happened. I suspect it was to make way for new signings but wasn't a good move for the squad over all.
