Mignolet

[magicrat]

Mignolet is just nowhere near as good as any of our main rivals keepers its as simple as that.

We have to ugrade

[Jairzinho]

The best form of attack is defence.

[ratcatcher]

I can only assume that you are completely insane. We had possession of the fucking football. Are you suggesting that we should be marking opposition players when we've got the ball?

 

Oh, so you think its OK for one of our players to stand still and let an opposing player run past him and chase down the ball? You know, just in case the keeper or other defender fucks ups? OK then. You're spot on.

[dennis tooth]

Well Reina had 14 clean sheets in his last season with us Im not sure Mignolet did even last year, whatever Im no sure since someone banned code. Most important was that Reina didnt have to face half as many shots as he was a talker who organised a defence well, which is 50% of it.

And someone on here recently recommended old kasper as an alternative. Ho um.

[Anubis]

He shouldn't let the door bang his arse on the way out.

 

But he probably would do, and it would end up nestling in the back of the net.

You clearly know absolutely nothing about football. You are suggesting, without any sarcasm that I can detect, that when we are in possession of the football our attacking players should be closing down opposition players. Mental.

Well we'll have to disagree then wont we?

 

One thing we can agree on though is that you're an absolute cock if you think our players should be stationary when we're 'in possession of the ball.'

[mouse1989]

At least he's not fucking about with the shitty passing between the cbs. I thought he was good against Stoke but average tonight. Obviously we need to trade up, but I doubt many clubs will be lining up to take him off our hands

[Trumo]

He is clearly not comfortable with the ball at his feet, so it doesn't help when our defenders faff about at the back, invite pressure and then hurriedly give the ball to him. More often than not, we end up giving the ball away and all of a sudden, the opposition have numbers in attack to cause us a few problems. It's a combination of bad coaching and bad game management serving only to highlight Mignolet's and the defence's weaknesses. That Mignolet has such a weakness becomes but a side issue.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Obviously we need to trade up, but I doubt many clubs will be lining up to take him off our hands

 

This is the real problem, isn't it?  Given our financial dealings of late you'd like to think we could get at least 5m back for him, but I can't see who would pay it.  What a waste of money.

[Anubis]

Isn't  he insured for something approaching his transfer fee? 

 

 

[BCM]

I think id rather have Pegguy Arphexad right  now....

[El Dangerous]

It's ok, contrary to gossip reports we were set to offer Neto 30k a week in Jan the Metro now has us offering 125k a week. Keeper woes over all for the cheaply/extortionate sum of 30k-125k a week.

[Nightcat]

The tragic is that in January, Rodgers and the committee of incompetents will keep this sack of shit and sell Sakho in order to raise funds for their next cock up transfer.

[ZonkoVille77]

He would sell easily enough I reckon. He'd suit plenty of teams who look for keepers like him who just shot stop and hoof. Mingo the doormat

[Russ Atmosphere]

I used to champion Mignolet as being mediocre, now I'm not even sure he's that good.

[magicrat]

I think id rather have Pegguy Arphexad right  now....

I wouldn't, he's a nightmare to spell correctly . Jones was obviously bought to solve this very problem and a pity it hasn't worked out 

[Oh Buoy]

I say keep him. 

Get a better replacement, use him as a back up. 

Put Jones out of his misery. 

[BCM]

I wouldn't, he's a nightmare to spell correctly . Jones was obviously bought to solve this very problem and a pity it hasn't worked out 

 

Aaahhhh.................  well at least we have solved the failed transfer of Henrikh Mkatiira .............Machitara..........Mkhhyt.........Mackita...............

 

...............Oh .......F**k it lets get Moses in.

[Section_31]

Mignolet plays like the kid who nobody wants in their football team and who ends up in goal but who, despite having no natural ability, somehow ends up saving lots of high profile shots from the other team's star player. He throws his hands up in hope and closes his eyes, and the shots bounce off his arse, elbows and shins.

 

The other kids think a prodigy may have accidentally have been discovered and say 'he can go in goal every week', forgiving his many lapses and other obvious shortcomings, but next week he is shit and rightly shunned forever after.

[El Dangerous]

Part ex the cunt for Begovich, not like he'll have to worry about crosses or sweeper keeping there.

[ratcatcher]

I think his confidence is shot. When you're in poor form and lacking confidence things just seem to go continually wrong which compounds the issue even more.

 

If the team and defence was playing well, you could take him out of the team and play jones for a couple of games. But, seeing as the team and defence isnt, it would probably have no difference playing jones.

[VladimirIlyich]

Well we'll have to disagree then wont we?

 

One thing we can agree on though is that you're an absolute cock if you think our players should be stationary when we're 'in possession of the ball.'

You are replacing Uncle Tom as the FF argument starter.

If you are in possession of the ball the opposition should be trying to mark and close you down and not vice versa.

This is why the top teams rely on possession of the ball as key to winning games as you dictate play and tire the opposition. Our problem is that a few of our players simply arent good enough to do this.
