Below are the five BPL players who have underperformed so far this season:





Romelu Lukaku (Everton)

Everton signed Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea for a fee around £28 million this summer. But the striker has a not performed up to the mark. Last season, he spent on loan with Everton and scored 16 goals in 33 games which helped Everton to finish a season on fifth place. Currently, he has scored 2 goals in 7 games so far this season.





Manchester United striker is currently having an awful season. With new big names in the squad like Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao, the Englishman seems to get less importance despite of being the new captain for the Red Devils.

As Mata returns to the side he brings more finesse to the No. 10 role than Rooney, and his passing is also better and more incisive. #MUFC — Sam Pilger (@sampilger) October 5, 2014 Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)

The German star who was signed on the transfer deadline day last summer has also underperformed this season. He has not shown any signs that he worthy for the price that Arsene Wenger paid last year for him. The Gunners paid Real Madrid £42.5million which makes him the 5th expensive midfielder in the history of football. Currently, he is suffering from a knee injury and expected to be out for 12 weeks.





Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)

The 34-year-old Liverpool skipper started season with very low performances especially his performance against West Ham United few weeks ago was awful but last weekend he returned with a bang, played an exceptional game and led the team to their third win of the season. But overall he has disappointed this season.
