Premier League Struggling Stars: Ian Darke's Picks

ESPN's Ian Darke identifies several Premier League players who have failed to meet expectations this season, from injuries to lackluster performances.

Alexander Isak, Liverpool

Alexander Isak, despite a promising career, has struggled at Liverpool, especially after recovering from a broken leg. His performance was below par even before the injury, raising concerns about his form and fitness.

Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United

Benjamin Sesko, once seen as an elite striker, has failed to impress at Manchester United with only two goals in 14 appearances. Competition for game time has increased, putting his future at the club in doubt.

Anthony Elanga, Newcastle United

Anthony Elanga's slow adaptation at Newcastle United has seen him lose his starting position due to a lack of productivity. Manager Eddie Howe prefers other options, indicating a need for improvement from the young winger.

Thierno Barry, Everton

Thierno Barry's work ethic is praised by Everton fans, but his goal-scoring record falls short of expectations. With just one goal this season, Barry needs to become more clinical to fulfill the team's striker role.
