You don't become a bad player overnight...Or do you?

There are several famous phrases used in football to describe players experiencing a poor run of form.  The phrase "you don't become a bad player overnight" is often uttered by pundits when suggesting that the player will return to form and perform at the level required given time.  A lot of the pundits that use these phrases are ex-players so perhaps they don't want to accept the truth.

Watching last nights big match of Man Utd vs Chelsea it dawned on me that players do become bad overnight.  I can clarify what I mean using two words...Fernando Torres!  Need I say more?!  This is a guy that continues to fill his trophy cabinet while experiencing the worst form of his career.  By some players standards Torres is still performing well but by the standards he set himself that earned a £50 million transfer he is not; and he has not performed for a number of seasons.  If the start to the season is anything to go by then Mourinho will bring to an end Torres's Chelsea career sooner rather than later.  Mourinho has shown such a lack of faith in the Spaniard, he would rather play André Schürrle as a striker (he is more of supporting attacker) than call on Torres.  With just 34 goals in 133 appearances for Chelsea you can see why Mourinho is on the look out for a new striker to lead the line, personally I would look no further than Romanu Lukaku.

I think that every fan of every club can think of several players that turned bad overnight.  There are several reasons for this to occur - injuries, increased expectation, lack of motivation, trying too hard or to put it another way injuries and rich enough to not care anymore.

Who are your teams overnight flops?
