Mignolet... I'm off...

Belgian publication Het Nieuwsblad claim that Napoli would be prepared to pay €20m to sign Simon Mignolet. (@LivEchoLFC)
 
I blame Brendan fucking Rodgers for bombing out Reina and bringing in half the goalkeeper in Mignolet....

What a fucking mistake that was.
 
Yeah. But these brown envelopes decided that it was time for Reina to leave.... so what option did Rodgers have? Tied on both hands...
 
Mignolet for Reina + money wouldn't be a bad idea. Reina straight in as our no.1 for the remainder of the season & then backup for Oblak next season while Karius goes on loan to a mid table prem team, with a view to being our backup when Reina retires in 2020

Sorted.
 
A lot of hope and expectation on here being placed on Danny Ward.

Who can't even get on the bench, nevermind get a game, ahead of Mignolet and Karius. He can't be much fucking chop.

You know why Reina was good for us ? - its really simple - he did not give a flying fuck about what we as fans thought about those times when he screwed up. He was good because he was a 'man' unto himself - did not give a fuck what we cunts thought of him and Rafa gave him free reign. When he made mistakes (which he did) - he would just shrug it off immediately and continue like nothing had happened - he had an inner arrogance and confidence. Essentially his reaction was to tell us to fuck off and it worked.

I actually blame a lot our own support for magnifying the mistakes of our goalkeepers since the David James era. It has not stopped - continuous insults and magnification of their errors to the point where the keeper's position was just not his anymore. They became nervous and would feel like they were under watch by the fans, the media and every fucking non-goalkeeping pundit. I understand from reading that De Gea was like a disaster when he started but they United gave him another chance and now look at him.

I saw that Spurs keeper make a howler a few weeks ago - I think he got beaten at his near post or something - but there was just one bad comment from the commentators and it was like he never made an error for the rest of the game. If it was ours - its analysed under a fucking microscope - and its done because we keep going on social media and saying Ming is shit, Karius is shit and by the time we have finished the whole world thinks he's shit, including the goalie himself. It's not good what we do - give the guys chances to make the mistakes, and eventually he may come good. Let the manager make the call - it should not be us because I think we have made the situation worse. Ming was not doing too much wrong to replaced by Karius like that.

Based on his form for Huddersfield last season, he's better than both our shite goalkeepers.

It's impossible to judge a keeper based simply on the way they play with other sides imo.

There's way too many variables, how many shots they face, where those shots are likely to come from, the defence in front of them, how important distribution is to the team & the type of distribution required.

Nah, I saw a thread on a Huddersfield website (about 8 months ago) in which they were discussing his loan spell and whether they should try to re-loan him or buy him for this season and the general view was he was nothing special; he had had a few decent games but also a few dodgy ones. This was a few weeks before he became a hero for them in the playoffs with several penalty saves during their 2 penalty shoot-outs. If Huddersfield fans weren't convinced about him at Championship level it's hard to optimistic about his chances.

That said, I saw all 3 of their play off games and he was faultless throughout. I'm not saying he shouldn't be given a chance; because the other 2 are clearly not good enough; he was only 22 whilst at Huddersfield and has hopefully improved; and he does command his box more than the other 2........... but just based on what the Huddersfield fans say about him their answer would probably be "no".

Yeah.... I understand your point.

But Mignolet is a bit shit right?
 
I read somewhere that Karius has a higher percentage of goals conceded than shots saved. Mingolet is also in the bottom 3 for that stat. If you get a shot on our goal it more that likely goes in. That is not good.
 
Yeah though it could suggest we only really allow shots on goal at such points that they become likely goals. Like Gundogan's goal, for example?

Not that I'm trying to depend our goalkeeping situation though. I'll leave that to Lovren
