Of course the definition of mediocrity is all relative. Clearly you will not mention anybody of the Millwall variety. Basically : Anybody who looks like a lower premier league journeyman.....and elevated to lofty heights by the other players in his squad. For Starters : Maraoune Fellaini.....Europa League winner...baffling, like an MMA fighter , always looks lost on a football pitch. Olivier Giroud.......World Cup, champions league...with a habit of being 'out of form' or unlucky most of the time we could include Mesut Ozil but clearly his early and late career are like two different people. what others ? please justify your choices.

Giroud, always full of future promise, and not so many Mbappe moments. Giroud's true level is Everton/Arsenal/Spurs. A good player, sure. Edited by PalazioVecchio (22 Jun 2021 9.55pm)

Glad you mentioned him. I was debating his inclusion in this list. The tv pundits in Ireland reckon he should be cleaning the toilets at the Etihad.

David Luiz, i love it when he starts for Arsenal. A trophy-cabinet to rival Messi/Ronaldo and a total liability in front of his own 'keeper. Don't you love all his angry pointing at his own team-mates every time they concede a goal. Usually a goal which was his own fault. Edited by PalazioVecchio (23 Jun 2021 9.22am)
