Mignolet

Lev yashin compared to Karius

[Russ Atmosphere]

Premier league goalkeepers ranked this season by comparing the chance difficulty faced with actual goals conceded. Lloris surprisingly poor, Mignolet less so.

Certainly makes the case for us to move for Nick Pope in January.

Would.

Lossl? Klopp can get on the blower to his mate. Job's a good 'un.

[G Richards]

On a more serious note, if we look at the expected goals we should have conceded, Spurs, Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea are in the 3-5 range, while we are virtually double that. Map that out over a season and it gives our forwards far too much to do to help this team mount a title challenge. It's what we all know, but we simply must tighten up at the back.

 

Spartak was a reasonable effort defensively, fwiw.

I think we look back with rose tinted specs at some of the keepers of a few years back. I don't think they were subject to the same level of scrutiny that keepers are these days.

I don't think Mignolet is bad. All keepers make mistakes. Lloris let Alonso score a shit shit at his near post the other week to cost spurs a point against Chelsea. Shit keeping. Does he get subject to the same level of criticism as Mignolet? No.

Cech makes mistakes for Arsenal. I've seen Courtois make mistakes for Chelsea.

The issue with Mignolet is he isn't top class. And top class keepers win you a few point a season, and very rarely cost you with a mistake.

 

You can count those keepers on one hand. It's unfair to compare him to De Gea because the guy is absolutely class and worth 9 points a season to United.

 

I also think Mignolet gets unfair stick because, for a brief time, we did have one of those keepers. Reina was world class for a couple of years, almost no mistakes, commanding, could win a game with his distribution.

 

Yes I think we could do better than Mignolet, but he isn't shit, and he'd get in most premier league teams.

I can't see the chart as Twitter is blocked at work, but the goal that Leicester scored that should have been disallowed, and the goal that Watford scored that should have been disallowed would have had an expected goal total of approaching 2 (maybe about 1.7 at a guess), which accounts for a fair chunk of that difference. Yes, we are still high without them, but its a small sample so things like that can have a big effect.

23 seconds Mig.

[Ranxerox]

We won't win anything of note so long as he is first choice keeper

[an tha]

The amount of work he is being asked to do is too much...twice as much as spurs for example.

 

That is going to do for us eventually if it isn't improved

The UFO chap?

Why ever the fuck not?

Mig should be good number 2 at this club.

End of.

In my opinion he's already a number 2. 

[Hades]

Third only to Balotelli and Moreno in terms of players I can't stand seeing play for Liverpool. 

[Grinch]

Just caught a bit of schmichael on monday night football. The good one that's long retired.

 

Migs is the complete opposite of everything he talked about a top keeper.

[Grinch]

Easily one of the worst shot stoppers in the league.   Considering that's the only thing he's supposed to be good at, then that says it all about his level.

 

This cunt wouldn't make Leeds first XI.

Yep. Hopefully Klopp sees it as well. Can’t keep giving this clown a go hoping he’ll improve.

He won’t he’s not good enough.

[moof]

I think it’s time Karius had a run of games; even if he makes a few mistakes, there’s far more upside potential with him.

[Hades]

None of our keepers are even mid-table Premier League level.

Two of them are young enough to prove but we're playing a championship keeper for four years.

Mignolet the good shot-stopper is the myth that will never die for some reason. 

[Grinch]

Hang your fucking head in shame if you've defended this cunt and turned on a young keeper in a handful of games.

I FUCKING HATE THE CUNT.
