Simon Mignolet

[Bjornebye]

He is fucking class 

[Trucker Paddy]

I've actually just watched match of the day there, some of his saves close down were outstanding, teams actually targeted reina in that area as he was so slow getting down. He really is an outstanding goalkeeper

Uses his feet for stopping shots very very well.

[fowler9]

I'm going to forever use Mig as an example of how good I am at spotting players and conveniently forget that I championed the signing of Charlie Adam in a similar way

[Batigol]

Don't know if he's the best in the league but he's been a huge improvement and better than Begovic imo.  I was happy we made the move on improving on Reina but wanted the Stoke keeper.  

 

Very impressed so far.  His kicking does need to improve but it's a very minor gripe when he's stopping us concede so often.

[fowler9]

would say the top keepers these days are Mignolet, Begovic and Lloris, strange than none of them play for sides that have challenged in recent years, De Gea and Hart aren't far behind when at their best either but both lack consistency

[Bjornebye]

I wanted Begovic. I'm not too disappointed at all though.

He really is ace. If there is ever an asteroid heading towards earth, stick Mig in a space shoot send him up to orbit and he'd stop the fucker.

Just listening to his interview on the telly there and there is definitely already a tinge of scouse in his accent, he'll be up there with Jan and Didi soon I'll bet.

I like Mignolet. He's good people.

[stringvest]

Isn't that Andy Goram?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

No, both Andy Gorems were good people.

[Jhinge Machha]

i too preferred begovic. but mignolet has been fucking brilliant

[Ted]

Begovic has been fucking throwing them in since they played us. No doubt he's saving his next worldy for when we go there, the fucking melt.

Decided on Begovic in my Fantasy Football team as I didn't think Everton would put much past him, forgot how gash his defence is.

He's getting the boot from my side and Ming The Merceless is now in!

This has been in my head everytime the TV mentions Mignolet so I thought I'd share it with you all in hope that it will stop happening. Do what you want with it, you don't have to thank me. 

 

Oh our Mignolet, oh our Mignolet, Oh our Mignolet, Oh our Mignolet

If you shoot then he's gonna get his hand on it

If you shoot then he's gonna get his hand on it

Oh oh oh oh-oh oh oh

 

(shake your booties if you want like Bouncey does. Girlfriend.)

 

Bye.

Nice to see him at (or near) the top of the clean sheet table with 13 (or 12, if you want to be churlish and discount his substitute appearance at Burnley).  But how the fuck did that happen?  I mean, this season?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Bugger!  Just spotted somebody making the same point on the "Mignolet" thread, of all places.

[Russ Atmosphere]

“I didn’t play the last two weeks and I don’t want it to be any longer,” said Mignolet. “I look at it positively. I hope to play against United. I still feel confident because of my good league start. Against Arsenal, Tottenham and Leicester I have been important for the team by making some good saves.

 

“I have the advantage that the game against United is only Monday so I can have a full preparation.

 

“I don’t know what the coach will decide. I can just prepare myself 100%. Whether I play or not, nothing will change my match preparation. It is not in my character to not give 100%.”

 

Mignolet claims Liverpool fans have been supportive of the manner in which he has greeted losing his starting role.

 

“Every time you sit on the bench it hurts,” he told reporters in Belgium.

 

“I’m also a lot more nervous on the bench than on the pitch. But the intention is to play again as soon as possible.

 

“The important thing is that I try to handle to situation the best I can. I think my response has been positive. It was also appreciated by the supporters.”

 

Writing in his ECHO column last week, John Aldridge stated Mignolet should be recalled for the visit of United.

 

And the Belgian said: “That’s certainly nice to hear, when such opinion comes from someone who has meant so much for the club. But most of all it is the support of family and friends that I am rising to.

 

“I hope to win my place back as soon as possible. As for the rest, I think the national team and Liverpool are two separate things.

 

“I want to play with the national team, just as I want to play at my club.”

 

Mignolet is behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order for Belgium and was an unused substitute in the World Cup qualifying wins over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Friday and Gibraltar on Monday.

 

Nevertheless, he feels in peak condition. “I’m sharp,” said Mignolet. “I try to watch my food, and my wife Jasmien says I sometimes exaggerate.

 

“But I see my body as an instrument and you have to be professional.

 

“Between training sessions I go to the gym with the national team. It has become easier now that we train in Tubize, the new facility for the Belgian FA.

 

“There is a good gym in the hotel. Eden Hazard has teased me a few times already that I’m there way too often.”

 

Mignolet, meanwhile, has positive words about former Everton manager Roberto Martinez, who took over as new Belgium boss after Euro 2016.

 

“He appreciates that I contribute my bit, for example when practising set-pieces,” he said. “In England it is only normal that a goalkeeper gives some instructions.

 

“Him and his assistant coach (Graeme Jones) appreciate my help. I recently had a conversation with (Roberto) Martinez. He is a very jovial man.”

De Gea shows exactly what a world class keeper brings to your team. The save from Can was great, but the save from Coutinho was unreal.

He wins them points regularly - which is what a top quality keeper does

And covers up a very average team in front of him.
