That being said, being a "disgrace" might be pushing it.

No one would voluntarily give it up.
Getting on the backs of your own players isn't helpful at all, they only time I can justify doing it is if they've been REALLY unprofessional. Being in poor form doesn't mean you're unprofessional, not being as good as someone else doesn't mean you're unprofessional.
Infact, bullying a player because he isn't good at football is like bullying a guy in a wheelchair because he can't walk.

Nobody is telling Gervinho to give up. But if you get hired by a top company and you can't perform at a high level, you should be fired or at least put on the bench more often in football.

That isn't the players fault? If he says no to the manager then he'll be fined and look like the bad person. People should be complaining at the manager, not the player.

What do you mean this isn't the player's fault? The manager expected something more from the player and he didn't deliver (doesn't matter if it's because he isn't trying or because he isn't talented enough). So the manager should either let him go or don't play him often.
Like I said, this is a professional club that pays players millions every year to perform and entertain. This isn't a charity. The fans have every right to be angry or upset at a player who isn't performing at an acceptable level. If you go order coffee and it turns out horrible, do you tell the guy behind the counter, oh you tried your best and it's not your fault?
