5. IIIan Meslier
)
Despite the championship facing cut-throat competition, Leeds United goalkeeper lllan Meslier has been responsible for three errors this season.
Meslier has flattered to deceive and most recently conceded an awkward goal against Swansea City. Unfortunately, the Frenchman's undeniable potential is surpassed by his tendency to err.
Leeds lead the standings but could face the prospect of going to the playoffs unless Meslier improves his form.
4. Paulo Gazzaniga
)
The Argentine, currently on the books at La Liga side Girona, has committed three errors leading to goal this season, the highest number in the Division.
Girona are a pale shadow of their former selves. After qualifying to play Champions League football last season, Girona are currently 15th in La Liga and part of the struggles is because of the indecisive nature of Gazzaniga, who has costed the team seven points.
The 33-year-old has had spells at Fulham, Southampton as well as Tottenham.
3. Hugo Lloris
)
Amidst the season 2022/23, former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris made four errors that lead to a goal for the opposing team when he was in the Tottenham Hotspur team.
His worst season however was 2017/18, where he unfortunately made five errors that allowed the opposing team to score.
The French shot-stopper currently plays for Ligue 1 side Nice in his native.
2. Robert Sanchez
)
Chelsea's goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, has been the subject of significant criticism due to a number of costly errors this season, raising questions about his suitability as the team's number one goalkeeper.
The Spaniard has been criticized for errors against Brighton, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Wolves, including a crucial mistake against Manchester City where he retreated from his penalty area, allowing Erling Haaland to score as the Blues lost 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Chelsea have dropped more points than any other team in the Premier League due to Sanchez's blunders.
1. Andre Onana
)
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana made two critical errors that led to a 2-2 draw against Lyon in their Europa League quarter-final first leg at Groupama Stadium on Thursday.
The match saw dramatic turns, with Rayan Cherki scoring a stoppage-time equalizer after Onana failed to hold onto Georges Mikautadze's shot.
The drama unfolded a day after former United midfielder Nemanja Matic, now with Lyon, called Onana "one of the worst goalkeepers" in United's history during a pre-match exchange.
Onana's first mistake allowed Thiago Almada's soft free-kick to get past him. United manager Ruben Amorim defended his goalkeeper after the match.
The Red Devils will need to win the return leg at Old Trafford, something that could come to haunt United and Onana if the team fails to progress to the semifinals.
The Cameroonian was also at fault for their 2-1 loss against Brighton early this season, when he allowed Joao Pedro's tame shot to skip his hands. Part of the reason the Red Devils are struggling both domestically and in Europe is due to poor decisions from Onana.
Onana was at fault against Bayern Munich in the 4-3 loss at the Allianz Arena last season.
