Which Paris Saint-Germain players have disappointed the most so far this season?

In just 16 games so far this season, the Parisians have shown amazing things with three players who lifted the team after some disappointments. If we're talking about disappointing moments in PSG's season so far, since the rocky start in August, there haven't been many that spring to mind (with the exception of unfortunate injuries to star players). But which of PSG's players haven't quite lived up to expectation this season?

Signed with some expectations from Aston Villa this summer, the Frenchman was supposed to be a reliable backup to Nuno Mendes in the left-back area, but has instead seemingly been relegated to third choice behind fellow Frenchman Lucas Hernandez after a disappointing start to his life in the French capital and in Ligue 1. Digne featured early on in the season but failed to ever truly nail down a place in the team, looking far less sharp and precise than he had done in his impressive final seasons in England, playing for Aston Villa. Digne's start was meant to be a full-circle moment, as the Frenchman had previously played for PSG in between 2013 and 2016, but he now looks to be surplus to requirements already.

In fairness to the full-back, being second choice to Nuno Mendes is no easy task: Mendes is one of the world's best and is very hard to stand in for.

A really harsh selection because Ferran Torres has made a definite goalscoring impact since his arrival, already scoring seven goals in all competitions for the Parisians. But the Spaniard's goals have dried up of late and his all around play hasn't been as sharp as that of the other PSG attackers, hence his increasing appearances off the bench. PSG knew what Torres was when they signed him: he always had a tendency to miss chances for Barcelona, and that has also continued into this season.

Torres may yet make a big impact this season, but looks decidedly second choice in PSG's attack, behind fellow summer signing Maghnes Akliouche in the pecking order already. His fine start may also be a reason why he features here, as he raised expectations for his arrival in Paris, only to fail to really continue bringing that good run of form into the autumn period.

There is just a feel around Zabarnyi that the Ukrainian centre back who was ostensibly signed last summer from Bournemouth to be a long term Marquinhos replacement has not quite lived up to the billing so far. The Ukrainian has had some good moments in Paris (he has even already scored two goals this season for the European Champions), but often just looks like a step down in PSG's defence from the excellence of Marquinhos and Pacho's usual centre back partnership.

It is a shame for Paris, because Zabarnyi arrived from Bournemouth with big expectations, having a hefty price tag and being hailed as one of the best young centre backs in Europe, and has never quite been able to live up to those expectations in France. There is still time for the Ukrainian though: as with all players on this list, he hasn't had a terrible season by any means, he just happens to be the least impressive of a very, very good bunch.
