The Undroppable Simon Mignolet

if you can stomach it, just watch the goal again.

He starts coming for the ball very slowly at first then panics and rushes out as he realises he misread it and ended up in no man's land

Exactly why he shouldn't have come for it!

agree to disagree

if he hadnt misread it, it would have been an easy punch clear. staying on his line would have been a mistake as well

Those stats are astonishing. Astonishingly bad!

Mignolet is exactly like Almunia was for us.

A liability, but every now again produces some decent form which tricks management into thinking it's not worth the time and expense of replacing him.

Almunia used to have a high clean sheet pct because we dominated possession and games so much.

I don't think he's unstoppable, he has been. It's iust his replacements have been worse.

As I've said elsewhere, yesterday's second goal against us was a wicked deflection. The first was an awful decision, yet again, by Mig.

Enough is enough. Time to go.

I've been on Migs case for around a year now. My main gripe is that he never really improves on his weaknesses. We need to sort it out because we won't do anything meaningful with a dodgy keeper. Even in the capital one cup final he still cost us.

if we had a quality goalkeeper we would have had 15 more points. The number of mistakes he makes is astonishing.

I hope we can get some quality German goalkeeper as they have some upcoming good goalkeepers.

"if we had a quality goalkeeper we would have had 15 more points. The number of mistakes he makes is astonishing."

OK, this is just ridiculous

15 points? And that's assuming a top class keeper doesn't cost his side any points, and they do.

There is not really anyone left who doesn't think he needs replacing.

Let's hope whoever we buy is a good one.

Klopp isn't stupid. Mig isn't undroppable, it's just the alternatives are no better. Bogdan is pathetic, and Ward is massively inexperienced.

Ward might go in and do better, then again he might be worse and ruin him.

Mig will get dropped when we have a better keeper, and hopefully come Sept 1st or earlier we will have one.

Op....he is just simply NOT a top 4 keeper, he will not be a number 1 for any team that realistically wants title and CL aspirations.

Klopp WILL know this, you can be sure of that. The 1 comfort is that Klopp will address this problem in the summer, rest easy we WILL be getting a new keeper

I wil gladly drive SM to his next destination

Swansea / Villa maybe?

People questioning why he's still in the team, surely it's not that difficult?

Klopp came in October. Tried Bogdan in the cup, he was a disaster. It's next to impossible to buy a class keeper in January, for anything less than close to a record fee anyway.

So Klopp got Ward back, and has seen him training for 4+ months now. So either he's not ready or not good enough.

Bearing in mind we are still fighting on two fronts, (to a degree) slating Mignolet would be the worst thing possible.

As far as the new contract, the chances of it being on massively improved terms are slim, and at the end of the day, Simon Mignolet will still get us in the region of 7 - 10 million. To let that walk away for free at the end of next season would have been ludicrous mismanagement.

posted on 25/4/16

Yep.


Mig will be kept next season as the new keeper settles in then sold next summer (probably) with good length on his contract still for a decent price.

Letting him leave for free would have been pathetic business.

I think they should have given Bogdan another chance.

He made a couple of misjudgements and all of a sudden Mignolets place is safe.

I also think just the fact that it would send the message out to Simon that I'll drop you if you carry on costing us points.

Do people really think Bogdan would have been the most costly Prem player of the last 3 years ? I certainly don't.

Mignolet used to be really good at Sunderland though.

posted on 25/4/16

Bogdan is terrible Metro.

He's played two games and had horror shows in both.

He wasn't even a good Championship keeper.

Yea, he couldn't get in the Bolton league team. Let's not pretend he's better than Mig. There's a reason he's been nowhere near the first team since Exeter.

Only BR could replace BJ with Bogdan

Bit like Suarez with Mario

Lloris just cost his side a chance at the title
