Nicolas Anelka or El Hadji Diouf? You could poll a thousand people and everyone of them would choose the Frenchman, but not Gerard Houllier. He wasted £10 million on the Senegelese man on the back of a dynamic World Cup in 2002 and from the second he signed for Liverpool he looked like an imitation of the player that dazzled on the world stage. To this day, El Hadji Diouf is the only Liverpool number 9 to have never scored in an entire season. He continued to disappoint and create unnecessary controversy and with the arrival of new manager, Rafa Benitez he was farmed out to Bolton on loan and is currently labouring with Leeds in the Championship. Hated by Liverpool fans possibly more than any other player - he never scored, he was lazy and his disparaging comments about Steven Gerrard meant Liverpool fans around the globe vilify him.
