Mignolet

[Carvalho Diablo]

Probably play on Tuesday, the fucking quaver.

Ere, I like Quavers.

[Dicko]

The goalkeeping situation at the club is negligent at the moment. Get rid of Mignolet, Karius & Achterberg, put Ward in until the end of the season, or spend now on Oblak or Allison if available.

 

Achterberg like Mignolet should be absolutely nowhere near the club.

 

Failing any of that just get Reina back on loan.

Danny Ward must be spending every day and night wondering what the fuck he has to do to get a game here when he has two completely useless and unreliable fuckwits ahead of him.

 

On the few occasions I've seen Ward play he looked more of a keeper than the other two turds look remotely capable of. Saving shots...command of his area..little things like that.

Mignolet's new boot deal:

Always baffled me when people used to slag Reina off. People had obviously forgotten the halcyon days of David James.

He was undoubtedly the best keeper we'd had in a long time.

 

That doesn't mean we should ignore his frightening drop off in his last few years here. It seemed to me that strikers had figured him out - don't try place it, hit it close to him and it'll go in. 8/10, sadly, it worked, and it took us a long time to figure out what they had. Infuriating to watch, and a goalkeeping cardinal sin.

 

Still miles above what we have now, mind.

Loss of confidence, having no faith in Mike Kelly then Jon Achterberg (nor should he) all contributed to his dip in form, that said he'd upped his standards considerably in his last six months, still some way off his best but miles ahead of anything Mignolet could ever hope to achieve.

[Russ Atmosphere]

I think we may have to come to terms with the thinking that our third choice goalkeeper behind these two is also quite likely to be very poo.

[Dicko]

He probably is.

But we actually KNOW that the two ahead of him are.

[VladimirIlyich]

The Achterberg thing surely has some merit to it. He joined the club in summer 2009 and worked with the academy, getting promoted to first team goalkeeping coach in summer 2011. The goalkeepers in our first team squad since he stepped up include Reina, Jones, Doni, Gulacsi, Mignolet, Bogdan, Ward, Karius and Manninger, none of whom have actually improved under his watch. They've either stayed at their previous level (which wasn't top class to begin with) or gone downhill, and in the case of Reina (who at one point would have been a shoe-in for the Spain side were it not for Casillas), definitely tailed of in the years he was working under Achterberg. Gulacsi and Ward have managed an improvement in recent years but they did so by playing at other clubs.

 

I've read a fair bit about the high esteem in which Achterberg is held by players and coaches alike so I'm not going to say he is completely useless. I'm certain he knows more about how to coach goalkeepers than I do, and his influence and input might actually be beneficial in ways that us fans don't get to see. It may be a case that his preparation of our goalkeepers is more than adequate to do well at most clubs but also that it doesn't correlate at all with what our team have to deal with on a typical matchday. What we end up doing is highlighting the flaws of the goalkeeper and the defensive structure itself.

 

Sure, the quality of the goalkeepers and defenders is a key factor as to their effectiveness, but even mediocre players can be made to look good with the right coaching masking their flaws if not completely eliminating them. You can imply improvement thanks to the coaching when that happens, but it has NOT happened with our goalkeeping options.

I know a little about GK coaching and while Achterburg could well be a shit hot goalie coach on the training field there is all kinds of wrong shown by our keepers in real game situations.

[Russ Atmosphere]

He probably is.

But we actually KNOW that the two ahead of him are.

The manager may know who is pooest of the three since he trains them all week.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I never want to see him in goal for us again.

Agree. If Ward was any better than the other two I reckon he’d play. Simple as that.

 

Or put it the other way around, if he was good PL quality another club would put in a 20 million bid for him.

[Redder Lurtz]

At least Danny Ward can claim success in that he won promotion with Huddersfield. Just fucking play him.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

The worst thing about the Danny Ward thing is that he’s probably looking on enviably at what’s happening at Huddersfield right now.

 

If you’re never going to give him a chance, especially in front of these two fuckwits, then why did you recall him?

 

The same goes for Woodburn and Wilson. These guys need to be playing games.

He's those scabby beef quavers they withdrew 

 

[dockers_strike]

I was shaking my head at both Matip and Mignolet. Right pair of chuckle brothers they are.

[magicrat]

There is only one thing remaining that has not been said regarding Mignolet and that is "goodbye"

Au revoir Simon.

[No2]

I'll accept that defeat if Klopp promises me I'll never see Simon in a Liverpool jersey again.

[Dicko]

Klopp's bollocked him apparently for mouthing off about not wanting to be at Liverpool.

Why couldn't the useless cunt have mouthed off about not wanting to be at Liverpool in 2013.

 

Stupid twat.

[Grinch]

Couldn't care less what he says.  With any luck we play someone else in the league cup.

[Pureblood]

Good luck, Simon.

[Trumo]

He's always been professional, but he's one of those goalkeepers who ships a lot of goals even when he plays well, just like every other shot-stopper in the lower half of the top flight.

[Dr Nowt]

Irrespective of anything else, he’s played his role in our transformation the last couple of years through being a superb professional by all accounts.

 

He got to experience number 6 and he’ll always have his side-earner with the pear empire.
