Liverpool, Manchester United, Southampton, Swansea City, Sunderland and West Ham United stars all feature.

We’ve taken a look at some of the worst peformers from the latest round of the English Barclays Premier League.

Most aerial duels lost

NameTeamAerial duels lost
Wilfried BonySwansea City11
Andy CarrollWest Ham United10
Nikica JelavicHull City9
Jordan BoweryAston Villa9
Shola AmeobiNewcastle United8

It shouldn’t be a major surprise to see bony or Carroll near the top of this list. they’re big, physical strikers so the high number of aerial challenges they go for will result in big losses.

Most tackles lost

FernandinhoManchester City7
Dan BurnFulham6
Glen JohnsonLiverpool5
David SilvaManchester City4
Robert SnodgrassNorwich City4

Fortunately for Fernandinho, his lack of timing against Everton didn’t turn out to have an impact on the score. It will be an area Manuel Pellegrini is monitoring over the rest of the season.

Most dribbles overrun

Luke ShawSouthampton4
Yannick BolasieCrystal Palace3
Ross BarkleyEverton2
Andreas WeimannAston Villa2
Jon FlanaganLiverpool2

Shaw will probably be a little frustrated at himself for not controlling the ball more effectively against Swansea. He’ll have one eye on the World Cup this summer.

Most unsuccessful touches

Jozy AltidoreSunderland6
Jake LivermoreHull City4
Romelu LukakuEverton4
Olivier GiroudArsenal4
Nathaniel ClyneSouthampton4

Gus Poyet won’t mind Altidore being at the top of this list. The fact he had a high number of touches shows that he was getting into the game and beign a real problem for the Manchester United defence.

Most fouls committed

Raheem SterlingLiverpool5
Johan ElmanderNorwich City5
Wilfried BonySwansea City4
Ryan BertrandAston Villa4
Andy CarrollWest Ham United4

Brendan Rodgers will want more focus from his Liverpool players and Sterling in particular. Frequent fouls prevent a side from being able to build and maintain pressure.

Most shots off target

Luis SuarezLiverpool4
Craig DawsonWest Bromwich Albion3
Wilfried BonySwansea City3

Rodgers will also be hoping that Luis Suarez can fine tune his shooting accuracy ahead of the final game against Newcastle. All Liverpool can do is win and hope that Newcastle United slip up.

Most times lost possession

Stewart DowningWest Ham United27
Ashley YoungManchester United26
Yannick BolasieCrystal Palace26
Liam RoseniorHull City25
Marko ArnautovicStoke City24

Ashley Young is an interesting name to focus on here because he was given a rare chance by Ryan Giggs. If he fails to produce against Hull this evening and again at the weekend, he could be in for the axe when a new boss is appointed in the summer.
