Gervinho might be the most frustrating player on this list, and that's saying a lot. 

The Ivorian would often times pick up the ball, use his rapid pace to get past one player, make two defenders trip over on the floor due to some flashy skills, making the crowd gasp due to possibility of them seeing one of Arsenal's most special goals, just before he smashed it over to the corner flag.

More often than not, Gervinho would make the hardest, most technically difficult ways you could manipulate a football look effortless, but when it came to simply squaring the ball into the path of his own player to score a simple goal he'd panic, fluff up the chance and look at everyone else on the team incredulously as if it was their fault. 

To put it bluntly, the fella simply didn't have the minerals to make the right decision making him an unpredictable liability every time he had the ball.

Think we missed out on an obvious player? Let us know in the comments below.
