The Premier League is constantly talked of as one of the most exciting leagues in the world.

Not only does the division manage to attract some of the world’s best players, it also offers a range of varying football styles and provides a great competition on which to showcase some of the very best teams – not to mention the glory, money and prestige that is associated with playing in England’s top-flight.

However, with all the hype that surrounds this league, it is completely natural to be left slightly dissatisfied and frustrated occasionally when things aren’t going quite the way that you want them too.

After Leicester City achieved the unthinkable last year by becoming Premier League Champions, they are one of the clubs that have left us wanting a bit more this season and there are plenty of players who have not lived up to the heights that they managed last season either.

With this in mind, here are five Premier League players who Shoot! think have disappointed in the top-flight this season…

Jordon Ibe

Following a £15m move from Liverpool in the summer, Jordon Ibe is currently struggling to find his feet on the South Coast.

The youngster was a regular starter at the beginning of the season, but was soon dropped to the bench following a string of disappointing performances.

He then returned to Eddie Howe’s starting eleven against Manchester City and will be hoping to remain in starting squad for the foreseeable future with the Cherries boss commenting on how well the youngster is coping with the pressure of being the club’s record signing.

However, the 21-year-old has featured 19 times for Howe’s Bournemouth side in the top-flight and is yet to register any goals or assists – only managing one shot on target throughout the whole campaign.

From these league starts, the winger is yet to complete a full 90 minutes and, in fact, he has only made it to 70 minutes on three occasions.

Most of the Dean Court faithful would regard this as disappointing from their multi-million pound record signing and they will be hoping that his return to the side can reignite the form that he showed previously.

Riyad Mahrez

Following Leicester City’s title-winning season, Riyad Mahrez was one of the players to earn a new contract as a reward for his part in their remarkable campaign.

The winger that cost The Foxes just £400,000 impressed hugely scoring 17 times and assisting on 11 occasions.

However, Leicester’s fortunes have changed somewhat during this term and they find themselves just one place and one point above the relegation zone, with the former Le Havre player one of several stars who have struggled during the club’s feeble title defence.

Mahrez has only found the net by converting three penalties and has assisted just twice throughout the whole of the 2016-17 season.

Leicester fans will be hoping that the Africa Cup of Nations may kickstart the Algerian’s season, but it seems likely that whatever form he is able to discover between now and May, the PFA Player of the Year has massively disappointed for the majority of this season.

All involved at the King Power Stadium will be hoping that his form does not affect their chances of Premier League survival.

Claudio Bravo 

Claudio Bravo has failed to impress at the Etihad after signing for Manchester City as a replacement for former number one, Joe Hart.

Except from the opening day of the season, the Chilean international has featured in every Premier League game under manager Pep Guardiola… until just recently.

After the former Barcelona shot stopper only managed to keep four clean sheets in 19 Premier League appearances for Man City, the ‘keeper has been replaced for the last three games by Willy Caballero – despite the Spanish boss insisting that Bravo is still one of the best shot stoppers in the world.

In these three games, however, City have conceded just once and claimed three successive wins, with their defence also appearing much more solid.

The goalkeeping position is likely to cause Guardiola a headache over the summer and big decisions will certainly have to be made about the futures of both Hart and Bravo, with Caballero also out of contract come the end of the season.

Jamie Vardy 

Former Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri said that he will be willing to drop some of his title-winning heroes to avoid relegation and striker Jamie Vardy could well be one of these players. Well, it is not the ‘Tinkerman’s’ problem anymore!

The striker was one of the main stars to stand out from the whole of the top-flight last season, scoring 24 goals in 36 appearances and became the first-ever player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches.

This season, however, has painted an entirely different picture and the 30-year-old has unquestionably underachieved with statistics definitely backing this up.

The England international has not managed a shot on target since December 17 and has taken just 1.3 shots per game in 2016-17, as opposed to 3.2 in the last campaign.

He has just five goals and three assists in 22 league games this season.

This is so disappointing after the quality that he showed previously and fans at the King Power will certainly have been left frustrated with his performances.

Moussa Sissoko 

After Newcastle United were relegated to the Championship at the end of last season, Moussa Sissoko showed no desire of keeping his wishes to leave the club secret.

Whilst this angered The Magpies, the 27-year-old flourished at the European Championships with France and attracted interest from Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

However, due to Newcastle’s huge asking price, it was Everton and Tottenham who embarked upon a deadline day scramble for the midfielder, with Spurs ending up forking out £30m for the player.

Since arriving at White Hart Lane, Sissoko has failed to nail down a starting position and has just two assists in six Premier League starts.

The midfielder has also been used sparingly in the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup and has massively underwhelmed so far this season.

In total, the French international has made 28 appearances this season in all competitions, but has been invisible for large parts.

Despite only just moving to the London outfit, Sissoko is already being linked with a summer move to AC Milan as boss Mauricio Pochettino looks to have made his mind up on the central midfielder.
