Some may well point to the early nature of the season, we are after all only seven games in, but in spite of that there are players country wide who have disappointed for one reason or another.
Be it a striker who is struggling to continue to add to a stunning start last term, a goalkeeper who has set himself high standards through his Premiership career, or an import which to some extent shocked the footballing world.
You may well have already figured out the three players who Sports Portal are going to highlight are, but if you haven't let us talk you through our reasons and why they feature.
Papiss Cisse - Newcastle UnitedOne major reason why Newcastle soared to a fifth placed finish in the Premier League last season, was their january acquisition of Papiss Demba Cisse from Bundesliga side Freiburg.
Here his impressive goalscoring record had impressed many around Europe, and he also became the African to have scored the most goals in one season in Germany.
After arriving in the North-East he plundered 13 goals, many of which were wonder strikes, and it seemed he was something of a bargain.
This season has been an eye opener, however, and he has struggled to find the back of the net.
He two goals in the 2012/13 campaign coming in the League Cup against Manchester United, and at home to Bordeaux in the Europa League.
Those connected with the club will point to the young nature of the season, but will secretly be hoping he can net a Premier League goal sooner rather than later,
They will not want a Fernando Torres esque situation from last season happening.
For many reasons Pepe Reina may well be a Liverpool legend, after all he has displaced many previous records held at the club.
In December 2005, just a few short months after being recruited by Rafael Benitez, he chalked up 11 successive clean sheets.
In addition to this he recorded 28 shut outs in his first fifty games, surpassing the great Ray Clemence.
On top of that for three straight season he triumphed in winning the Premier League Golden Gloves, and performed heroics, albeit after some questionable goalkeeping, in the 2006 FA Cup final.
This season though some rather high profile gaffes have begun to creep in, on an all to frequent basis.
Of course those who stand between the sticks are on a small wire between success and failure, but it is always worrying when these mistakes creep in a little too much.
After last seasons poor showing Liverpool are keen to climb back up the league, and Reina will be hoping he can put in some stellar performances to help with that quest.
Julio Cesar - Queens Park Rangers
A Goalkeeper who arrived at Loftus Road with a big reputation, having enjoyed huge success during a seven year stay at Italian giants Inter Milan.
After joining in 2005 he quickly established himself as number one, overtaking the legendary Francesco Toldo, and set about bringing five Scudetti and a Champions League title to the club amongst other honours.
When Samir Handanovic arrived in the summer, having played nearly 200 times for Udinese, it spelt the end of the Brazlians stay at the San Siro though.
The two time Seria A goalkeeper of the year and 2009 Uefa Club Goalkeeper of the Year set off for England, determined to show his former employers they were wrong to get rid.
However, he has only proved what they perhaps already knew, that he is no longer part of the elite goalkeeping community.
It is harsh to lay the blame at one man for a club being bottom of the league, but his decision making has hardly been exemplary.
If he can improve between the sticks QPR may have a chance, if this slide continues it is difficult to see if they can raise themselves from the abyss.
