Serie A is proving very competitive this term but some players are floundering. As a result, Goal has picked the most disappointing players of the season so far and arranged them in a 4-3-3 formation to be overseen by the worst coach of the current campaign. Agree with our selections? Let us know below!

ANTONIO MIRANTE (Parma) | He's been given hardly any protection by those in front of him, but Mirante has undeniably been one of Parma's most disappointing performers this season, as evidenced by the fact he has already conceded 30 times in just 13 games.

DANIELE BONERA (AC Milan) | Only fielded as a last resort by AC Milan boss Filippo Inzaghi this season, Bonera has justified his reputation among Rossoneri fans as an 'accident waiting to happen' with a succession of dreadful performances and unforced errors.

RAUL ALBIOL (Napoli) | The Spaniard's campaign started terribly with a shocking showing in Napoli's collapse at Athletic Bilbao, and has got progressively worse from there. Albiol has gone from a defensive lynchpin to a weak link in a matter of months.

NEMANJA VIDIC (Inter) | Expected to be one of the signings of the season, the former Manchester United captain has instead been one of its biggest flops. Inter wanted to build their defence around the Serb but he's now been relegated to the bench after a series of costly individual errors.

ASHLEY COLE (Roma) | Big things were also expected of Ashley Cole after his arrival on a free transfer from Chelsea, but the former England international was roasted by middling wingers on a weekly basis before losing his starting berth to Jose Holebas.

FRANCESCO LODI (Parma) | Entrusted with the responsibility of running the Parma midfield following his arrival on loan from Catania, Lodi betrayed Roberto Donadoni's faith in him with a string of ineffective displays before being dropped.

YANN M'VILA (Inter) | It was thought that the once highly-rated midfielder would kickstart his career at Inter but neither Walter Mazzarri nor Roberto Mancini have shown any faith in the Frenchman, whose most noteworthy contribution so far was an angry reaction to being replaced against Roma.

MAREK HAMSIK (Napoli) | It didn't seem possible but the Napoli attacking midfielder has actually managed to perform even more poorly this season than last. For so long one of the stars of Serie A, the Slovak now looks lost and out of his depth.

UAN ITURBE (Roma) | Roma were enthused after beating Juventus to the signing of Juan Iturbe - but the Giallorossi are not smiling anymore. The former Verona starlet has failed dismally to justify his €22 million transfer fee and cannot even get in Rudi Garcia's starting line-up at the moment.

FERNANDO TORRES (AC Milan) | Hailed as a worthy recipient of AC Milan's prestigious No.9 jersey after joining on loan from Chelsea, Torres has proven more like Luther Blissett than Marco van Basten. Just one goal in 10 appearances says it all.

RODRIGO PALACIO (Inter) | One of Inter's most reliable performers over the last two seasons, the Argentine seems to be suffering the most severe of World Cup hangovers, having found the net just once this season.

WALTER MAZZARRI (Inter) | Mazzarri arrived at Inter last year as one of the most respected coaches in Serie A. However, after being sacked just 11 games into his second season at Inter, he departs as something of a laughing stock, with his ridiculous excuses having provoked amusement among everyone who doesn't support the Nerazzurri.
