Some will look back on the 2019/20 Premier League season with great fondness.
Others, not so much.
Yesterday we gave you our list of every Premier League clubâs Player of the Season.
And today itâs time to single out those who werenât so great.
Nicolas PĂŠpĂŠ
A lot of excitement surrounded PĂŠpĂŠâs ÂŁ72m switch from Lille last summer but five Premier League goals and six assists was a poor return from his debut season. Must do better.
Danny Drinkwater
Signing him on loan from Chelsea always felt like a gamble but the Premier League winner had a shocker on his debut against Manchester City from which he never recovered.
Lewis Cook
The 23-year-old was unable to contribute a single goal or assist in 27 Premier League appearances this season. It could be a long time before he gets another England cap.
Alireza Jahanbakhsh
It looked like Brighton had pulled off a real coup when they signed the Iranian in the summer of 2018 but, an amazing overhead kick against Chelsea aside, he failed to make an impression in 2019/20 and is likely to be off in the summer.
MatÄj Vydra
We were tempted to pick Drinkwater for Burnley as well but instead weâll go for Vydra, who managed just two goals and one assist all season. Prem not suited to you pal.
Kepa Arrizabalaga
Too weak-wristed, not dominant enough and lacking in confidence, you really wouldnât blame Frank Lampard if heâs run out of patience with the worldâs most expensive goalkeeper at this point.
Max Meyer
Expectations were high when Meyer arrived at Selhurst Park from Schalke but he has so far failed to justify the huge wages heâs on and will probably be sold this summer.
Moise Kean
We were surprised when Kean joined Everton last season but in hindsight, itâs perhaps more understandable why the bigger clubs werenât in for him. Just two Premier League goals all season, one of which came on the final day.
Kelechi Iheanacho
It canât be easy having to compete with Jamie Vardy but three years on from his ÂŁ25m move from Manchester City, Iheanacho still doesnât look good enough to regularly lead the line for a top six club.
Xherdan Shaqiri
There werenât many disappointing performers in a Liverpool shirt this season but Shaqiri was the forgotten man, with just three Premier League starts and one goal to his name in the whole campaign.
JoĂŁo Cancelo
The ÂŁ60m Portuguese right-back didnât give Kyle Walker much to worry about in terms of competition and finished the season playing as an auxiliary left-back.
David de Gea
Once one of the best goalkeepers in the world, De Geaâs decline is real and the Spaniardâs blunders became a habit this season. He should be concerned about his future at Old Trafford.
Joelinton
Arguably one of the biggest flops in Premier League history, Newcastle spent ÂŁ40m on Joelinton last summer and he managed just two league goals, 10 months apart. Ouch.
Josip DrmiÄ
We donât like to kick a man while heâs down but DrmiÄ might have been the worst player in the whole Premier League this season. The Swiss winger managed just one goal and zero assists since his move from Borussia MĂśnchengladbach. Dreadful.
Callum Robinson
Signed from Preston North End last summer, Robinson managed just two goals in 19 appearances before he was back in the Championship on loan at West Brom mid-way through the season. What was that about?
Che Adams
We had a feeling Southamptonâs ÂŁ15m move for Adams wasnât going to work out last summer and after his first season at St Maryâs, weâve so far been proved right. Four Premier League goals is a poor return for that kind of money.
Tanguy Ndombele
Possibly the flop of the season in the whole of Europe. It really felt like Spurs had signed a world class midfielder who would take them forward last summer but 12 months on, itâs been ÂŁ70m worth of rubbish so far.
AndrĂŠ Gray
In truth you could have named several Watford players here but weâve gone for Gray, who managed just two goals in 23 appearances and was generally pretty ineffective everytime he stepped onto the pitch.
Roberto
Itâs probably a good job Manuel Pellegrini signed about six goalkeepers last summer because one of them was absolutely honking. Roberto shipped 17 goals in eight matches, made two individual errors and also scored an own goal before being sent back to Spain in January.
Patrick Cutrone
Another signing which seemed really impressive at the time but ended up being aborted midway through the season was Cutrone to Wolves. The Italian managed just two goals before being sent on loan to Fiorentina. We suspect Molineux might have seen the last of him.
