5 Worst Goalkeepers In The Premier League This Season

Goalkeepers are always facing many criticisms, especially in top tier football where their every mistake is evaluated by sportsmen and fans. Below are a list of 5 worst goalkeepers in the Premier League this season.

Goalkeeping is a key position on the pitch, with games being determined by their ability to save the goal from shots from their opponents. Let’s drop down into the list.

5 Worst Goalkeepers In The Premier League This Season(Save Percentage)

5) Thomas Kaminski (Luton Town) – 63.9%

The Belgian was bought from Blackburn Rovers for a little fee in the summer, and it is fair to say things haven’t really gone to plan so far.

With Kaminski in goal, the Hatters have conceded 14 goals in 7 league games, letting in 2 per game on average.

Not all of that can be blamed on the keeper, who has a porous defence ahead of him, but there is no doubt that the 30-year-old can perform better.

In his last two seasons at Blackburn, Kaminski’s save percentage hovered around 71%; a much higher figure than his current average for Luton.

4) Jason Steele (Brighton) – 61.9%
The 33-year-old earned a spot over Robert Sanchez as the Seagulls’ No.1 in the middle of last season but he hasn’t started this campaign in good form.

Coach Roberto De Zerbi has already dropped him a few times to start new summer signing Bart Verbruggen.

Having conceded 6 goals to Aston Villa last weekend, there is a distinct possibility that Steele will be benched by De Zerbi once again.

3) Andre Onana – 58.3%

The Cameroonian has had a bad start campaign with the Red Devils as he has conceded more than 15 goals for them this season. He was bought in from Italian side Inter Milan, where he had outstanding performances for the Nerazurri which pushed Manchester United to move forward in signing him.

However, Onana has not proven his best side since joining the English giants.

2) Jordan Pickford (Everton) – 57.7%

The England National Team No.1 has had a very bad start to the campaign, conceding 12 goals from 26 shots on target in the Premier League.

Pickford is an unpredictable goalkeeper, to say the least. Last season, the 29-year-old’s save percentage was 71.3%, which was a very impressive figure.

At the moment, however, he is clearly not doing enough to keep clean sheets and Everton are suffering as a consequence.

Everton currently is 16th in the table, having taken 4 points from their opening 7 matches.

1) Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) – 55.6%

Many fans and sportsmen hit at Mikel Arteta’s decision to drop the 25-year-old so early on in the season. Many felt he had done little miscalculation in between the posts for the Gunners.

However, the statistics tell a different story. Ramsdale has conceded 4 goals despite having faced just 9 shots in the Premier League.

It is relatively small but, even so, his replacement David Raya has posted a save ratio of 71.4% from 7 shots since being brought in, which is a measurable improvement.

Across the season, the Spaniard’s stats may be better or worsen but, for now, he seems to be the right choice.
