A season of pain for Israel's finest

Season 2010/11 was a forgettable one for the Israeli contingent in the Premiership. Avram Grant's trials and tribulations have been well documented here after taking West Ham down.

Tal Ben Haim tried his best to save his countryman but the decision not to extend his contract until the end of the season proved costly. In the end, Tal was left kicking his heels as Portsmouth could not afford to play him.

Yossi Benayoun missed the majority of the season through injury. We didn't see much of him following his big money move from Liverpool, and it would be fair to say that he could be regretting his decision to join Chelsea after manager Carlo Ancelotti was sacked.

The news that Bolton Wanderers are to release Tamir Cohen disappointed me. The club looked after him well following the passing of his father, Avi, and gave him plenty of minutes on the pitch when he returned from injury.
