5 error prone Premier League players who have to improve this season

1) Simon Mignolet

Simon Mignolet has let in five goals from just two games

Top of our list is current Liverpool number one Simon Mignolet. When the club signed Loris Karius in the ongoing transfer window, it looked like they had put the defensive miseries of the previous season behind them. The 23-year-old had impressed during his time at Mainz and looked a definite upgrade over Mignolet. However, an injury has ruled him out until September and Liverpool fans can’t wait to see the back of Mignolet.

While Alberto Moreno has been grabbing the headlines for the wrong reason, the performances of the Belgian have been ridiculous for some time. Yes, he did save a rather unimpressive penalty kick from Walcott in his side’s opening fixture against Arsenal. However, that has been the only shot that he has managed to stop so far this season, conceding the next 5 shots on target over the 2 games.

Mignolet was a good shot stopper at one point of time in his career. However, at the moment, he does not save enough, is a poor distributor of the ball and does not inspire the all important confidence of his defence. Jurgen Klopp knows that he cannot slip up in the pursuit of a Champions League spot and at least one piece of Silverware in the current season and will need to fix the problem that exists in between the sticks for the side at the moment.
